Local social enterprise Beyond Psychology has launched a new online portal subscription service to provide even more support for people.

After hosting a number of free workshops and vlogs during the pandemic lockdown, the clinical psychologists at Beyond have launched a mutually beneficial service, providing a number of resources, including a bite-size workshop for parents, workshops for professionals who work with children and families, vlogs, live question and answers with the clinical psychologists, plus much more.

Dr Louise Mansell, who co-founded the service, said: “We had been considering this as an option before lockdown. However, when lockdown happened, our service had to go online and workshops provided more popular than ever, booking up in hours of being released.

“Our wonderful followers wanted to know how they could support us or donate, or crowdfund our service as we started to offer more free phone support.

“Donations didn’t feel right, as we charge for our service as a social enterprise. ‘Supporting us to support you’ seemed like a great way to both effectively and efficiently support people and support us financially. It’s mutually beneficial, which is how we like to run our service.”

A not-for-profit social enterprise, Beyond was set up and founded by chartered clinical psychologists, Dr Kirsty Hughes and Dr Louise Mansell in March 2017.

Funded by schools, social care, the NHS and parents, the Beyond Psychology service has worked in the public sector with the NHS CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services), schools and children’s services as well as working alongside occupational therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, speech and language therapists, and mental health nurses.

Subscriptions to Beyond’s new service can be made monthly (£10), or annually (£100).
