A London based startup have launched an initiative sponsoring 1000 people's first therapy session in Twickenham.

Timewith mission is to make therapy accessible to all. They have launched the nation-wide initiative to cover the cost of 1000 people's first session, which includes Twickenham residents.

Explaining the reasoning behind 1000 Hours for 1000 People, founder & CEO Mark Tsirekas said: “Mental Health problems are on the rise, yet despite the progressive media narrative, few people are aware of how to seek support.

"Therapy is an age-old solution which has been proven to work. It changes lives - our whole team can attest to that. But it remains a huge unknown, and with the average cost of a session being £58, many lack the conviction to try it. We’re changing that with this campaign.”

Head of growth and communication at Time with added: "This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who has considered therapy but has held back due to a lack of understanding of how it can benefit them, or of how to find a good therapist."
