Testimonials

"Space from Money Worries is developed specifically to try and break the link between financial difficulties such as debt and poor mental health such as depression, stress and anxiety. It combines research on what turns financial difficulties into poor mental health (for example worry, shame, hopelessness), and uses skills from psychological therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help tackle these."

Dr. Thomas Richardson,

Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology & CBT at University of Southampton
