At The Zachary Geddis Trust, we are proud to offer a comprehensive range of professional mental health services for adults aged 18 and over.

Our interventions are available both in person and online, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for everyone who needs support.

Referrals and Access

We accept referrals from a wide range of sources, including:

  • Individuals (self-referral)
  • Family members and friends
  • GP and mental health services
  • Community Mental Health Teams
  • Family Support and Intervention Teams
  • Other community organisations

If you’re unsure how to begin, our team is happy to guide you through the referral process.

Our Professional Team

All members of the ZGBT team are qualified professionals within their specialist fields. Many of our practitioners also work within statutory mental health services and we are incredibly grateful to those who volunteer their time to support our clients through the Zachary Geddis Trust.

Services Available

We provide a wide variety of evidence-based and person-centred interventions, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred Therapy
  • Mentoring
  • Psychotherapy
  • Couples Counselling (heavily subsidised but not FOC)
  • Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Our goal is to ensure that every client receives the most appropriate support for their individual needs.

Our Client Intake Process

Our structured but compassionate approach ensures you are supported from your first contact with us through to ongoing care.

  1. Referral Submitted
  2. Initial Consultation Appointment Confirmed
  3. Wellbeing Plan Created
  4. Allocation Made
  5. Client Sessions Commence

We do not limit clients to a set number of sessions; support continues for as long as it’s needed.

Progress is reviewed every five weeks and again three months after discharge. Feedback is gathered at the end of your intervention, and onward referrals can be arranged if appropriate.

Funding and Costs

All Adult Support Services are completely free of charge (FOC).
The Zachary Geddis Trust does not receive any payment from referral pathways.
Every session and service is funded entirely through community donations, fundraising, and charitable support.

Your contributions help us continue to provide essential, free mental health care to those who need it most.

Student Placements

Each year, The Zachary Geddis Trust offers placement opportunities to two students who are currently completing their professional mental health qualifications.

These students are carefully selected and closely supervised throughout their placement, receiving ongoing guidance from both their course tutor and an external clinical supervisor.

This initiative allows emerging professionals to gain valuable hands-on experience within a community-based mental health setting, while contributing meaningfully to the support we provide to our clients.
