With 2025 now behind us, we're reflecting on a year marked by growth, partnership, and meaningful impact across the local community. Over the course of the year, Restoration Therapy delivered 1,573 counselling sessions and supported 120 clients. 72% of sessions took place in person at the Clock Tower clinic, while 28% were delivered online, ensuring support was available to individuals with a range of needs and circumstances.
Community partnership remained a central part of the practice’s work throughout 2025. Restoration Therapy partnered with the NHS through its Talking Therapies Plus programme, providing counselling support to patients requiring mental health support. The practice also worked in partnership with Walsall Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority as part of the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Project, supporting individuals at risk of or recovering from homelessness and addressing the complex mental health challenges often associated with housing insecurity.
Alongside the number of people supported, 2025 also showed clear signs that counselling was making a real difference for clients. Using the CORE-10 wellbeing questionnaire, which measures levels of psychological distress, the practice observed an average of 35-40% reduction in client scores, meaning that our clients reported feeling less overwhelmed, experiencing fewer intense symptoms of anxiety or low mood, and having a greater ability to cope with daily life. They were also more likely to describe improved sleep, better concentration, and increased emotional stability compared to when they first began counselling.
Nordia Philpott, Practice Director, reflected on the year:
“It was wonderful to see the commitment and care shown by our experienced counsellors working alongside our student counsellors, all focused on delivering high-quality support. While it is heartbreaking to see how many people across Walsall and the wider West Midlands are struggling with their mental health, we are grateful to have been able to support so many individuals and make a real difference in their lives.”
As the organisation moves forward, Restoration Therapy remains committed to strengthening community partnerships and expanding access to high-quality mental health support across the area.
