in Blackheath Village
Heathwell is a collective of highly experienced, independent therapists working across a range of specialisms within one clinical practice.
We believe therapy works best when you are with the right person, especially if you’re feeling unsure where to begin.
Heathwell was created as a local clinic where people can access different types of therapy in one place, without being filtered through systems or passed between providers. The intention was to make it easier to find a therapist whose experience, availability, and way of working genuinely fits.
The clinic is based in Blackheath Village, at the junction of Lewisham and Greenwich, and is easy to reach by public transport from South East and Central London. We also provide therapy online.
There are no algorithms or automated matching systems. We focus on careful, human conversations from the first contact onwards.
If you have questions or aren’t sure what kind of support you’re looking for, you can get in touch and we’ll help you think it through.
