Our Story

Wellbeing Therapy Solutions was born from a single, powerful vision: to make high-quality, timely, and compassionate mental health support accessible to all. What began from a seedling idea, has blossomed into a thriving business and a nationally recognised Occupational Therapy service, supporting individuals, workplaces, and communities across the UK.

At the heart of our story is Kate, our founder and Managing Director. With over 25 years of experience in mental health and an MSc in Mental Health Studies, Kate has dedicated her career to helping people find balance, purpose, and wellbeing in their lives. From her early NHS days on acute psychiatric wards to her time as a University lecturer, hospice therapist, and mental health advocate, Kate’s journey has been shaped by a deep understanding of the human experience—both professionally and personally.

Kate founded Wellbeing Therapy Solutions from her own home, driven by a determination to bring Occupational Therapy to the forefront of mental health care. With no prior business experience, she built the company from the ground up—balancing two jobs, learning everything she could about running a business, and securing her first clients.

Today, Wellbeing Therapy Solutions is England’s leading independent Occupational Therapy practice dedicated solely to mental health, and we are proud to have grown into a thriving, award winning business with an exceptional team of Associate Occupational Therapists. Our Associates are all HCPC-registered professionals who share Kate’s passion for delivering personalised, occupation-focused mental health support.

Together, we’ve created a supportive, values-led culture that puts people first—both our clients and our team. Our therapists are more than clinicians; they’re trusted allies, helping people of all ages and backgrounds navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with meaningful routines and roles.

We’re also redefining what timely care looks like. While many services have long waiting lists, we ensure that new clients can begin their therapy journey within three weeks of first contact. Every client speaks directly with Kate or a senior therapist before starting, ensuring a warm welcome and tailored support from the very beginning.

From delivering interactive wellbeing workshops to over 1,000 employees at a Large Banking  Group, to supporting staff at a local gym, our impact reaches far beyond one-to-one therapy. We’ve partnered with organisations across education, healthcare, charity sector, construction, manufacturing and gaming—bringing the power of Occupational Therapy to workplaces, universities, and entire communities.

Our story is still being written, but one thing remains constant: our belief that mental health support should be functional, human, and accessible. We’re proud to be changing the conversation around mental health and proud to be flying the flag for Occupational Therapy.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your team, or your organisation, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence, compassion, and care.
