About us

Formed in 2016, we have the UK’s largest range of counselling services for individuals & those affected by disabilities with a comprehensive range of therapies.

Origin

Our services started as Deaf4Deaf counselling & psychotherapy. We supported deaf, hard of hearing & deafened people with quality counselling delivered in their choice of communication. This could be BSL, oral or spoken English; the service was mainly provided via face-to-face video consultations.

DisabilityPlus

We formed and amalgamated Deaf4Deaf into DisabilityPlus in 2022. The new service enabled us to provide a comprehensive range of services for disabled people and those effected by disabilities.

Changing Futures

Our new counselling services bought together mental health specialists from all over the UK into one service. This enabled adults and teenagers to have a choice of benefits available, including highly specialised services such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injured & motor neurons as examples.

Assured Service

Bringing together a large team had its challenges; most counsellors with disabilities could not advertise themselves as disabled because some general paying public would not see their private practices as something they want to use. Therefore a limited number of professionals we could employ were registered for each service & therefore not suitable for us. Three years of finding and vetting counsellors was undertaken by us until we had a large team of registered quality counsellors & psychotherapists. Each counsellor has UKCP or BACP registration with national professional bodies of counselling.

Referrals

As a respected service providing a comprehensive range of therapies specifically to disabled people and those affected.

A large number of organisations refer adults for counselling. This includes some of the largest providers of workplace support, including the largest employment support company Health Assured.

As our service developed, referrals from local mental health teams, doctors & legal professionals increased with lawyers & solicitors as a small example.

Payment Options

With most disabled people unemployed, we planned to offer many payment options. Over the last six years, we built a good relationship with the NHS providing BSL counselling. As we have increased our service range with some highly specialised services, we continued to support adults with free assessments & applications for free to the user NHS-funded counselling.

Alongside NHS-funded sessions, we also offer adults and teenagers the option to self-pay for an immediate start with vastly reduced session fees.
