During the financial year July 2024 to July 2025, aMAZing Therapy Centre CIC has remained committed to providing accessible, trauma-informed mental health counselling for individuals experiencing low to medium psychological distress. Our services are inclusive and community-focused, addressing the urgent need for ethical, affordable mental health support across the Thames Valley. Our core mission is to ensure that everyone regardless of financial situation or life circumstance has access to high-quality counselling. We specialise in working with people facing complex challenges, including those affected by homelessness and domestic abuse. We operate a dual-income model: individuals who can afford to pay contribute through our full-fee services, and those unable to pay benefit from fully or partially subsidised sessions funded through donations, grants, and our “pay it forward” scheme. Key Activities and Impact 1. Mental Health Support for People Experiencing Homelessness In May 2025, we launched Phase 2 of our therapeutic programme for residents at YMCA High Wycombe, following a successful Phase 1 in 2024. This trauma-informed service provides structured counselling for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. It helps clients build emotional stability, resilience, and long-term coping strategies. This work has been made possible by generous funding from the Heart of Bucks for 2025 and a pledge from the Rothschild Foundation for the year 2025/26. 2. Domestic Abuse Survivor Support – Kaleidoscopic UK Partnership In partnership with Kaleidoscopic UK, we delivered Phase 1 of a specialist counselling service for survivors of domestic abuse involved in the Thrive to Survive programme in early 2025. Phase 2 began in May 2025, with sessions tailored to support long-term trauma recovery and emotional empowerment. This project is fully funded by Kaleidoscopic UK and demonstrates a strong collaborative model of trauma-informed care. 3. Criminal Justice and Community Safety As part of our expanding specialism in working with those affected by the criminal justice system, we are building relationships with Thames Valley Police and Trailblazers Mentoring. Our goal is to support individuals engaged in diversion programmes, including out-of-court resolutions, and to contribute to long-term rehabilitation through counselling. While this work is in the development stage, it forms a key part of our Year 3 (2025/26) strategy. We are actively engaging stakeholders to create sustainable mental health support pathways that reduce reoffending and promote mental wellbeing for those at risk. Operational Growth and Leadership In early 2025, Dr Marcelle Crinean joined as Joint CEO alongside founder Marian Kennedy, bringing expanded leadership and governance capacity to support our ambitious growth strategy – including launching a ‘Buy Me A Coffee’ scheme to increase our ‘Pay It Forward’ funds and targeting more funding and organisational partners for both restricted (project based) funding and unrestricted funding (for business development and marketing). We also welcomed two new counsellors to our team this year, strengthening our ability to meet increasing demand across our service areas. All our counsellors are fairly compensated at a rate of £30–£40 per session. Each client receives an average of 10 sessions, allowing for meaningful therapeutic engagement and measurable emotional progress. Community Outreach and Future Focus We continue to invest in outreach, education, and stigma-reduction campaigns to ensure individuals across the Thames Valley know how to access support. Through a re-branded and refreshed website, online content, word-of-mouth referrals, and targeted community engagement, we are breaking down barriers to mental health care. As we enter our third year of trading, aMAZing Therapy Centre CIC is strategically scaling to increase service delivery, deepen partnerships, and further our impact in areas of acute community need. We remain focused on providing compassionate, inclusive, and professional mental health counselling for all who need it.

Consultation with Stakeholders At aMAZing Therapy Centre CIC, we recognise that our success is rooted in meaningful engagement with the individuals and organisations we serve and collaborate with. Our key stakeholders include: 1 Clients receiving counselling 2 Counsellors and supervisors 3 Community and referral partners e.g. YMCA, Kaleidoscopic UK 4 Funding bodies e.g. Heart of Bucks, Rothschild Foundation 5 Full-fee paying clients who support our pay it forward model , a subset of ‘Clients receiving counselling’ We engage these stakeholders throughout the year to shape and improve our services based on their feedback, experience, and insight. Clients Clients are consulted at multiple stages of their counselling journey through pre- and post therapy check ins, informal discussions, and feedback forms. This year, client feedback reaffirmed the need for a minimum of six sessions to build a foundation of trust and therapeutic progress. Based on this, we have maintained our average of 10 sessions model. Clients also expressed a desire for greater flexibility, and we have responded by increasing availability for in-person, telephone, and online counselling options. Feedback has also helped us refine our trauma-informed approach, particularly in our work with survivors of homelessness and domestic abuse. Counsellors Our counsellors, who are paid between £30 to £40 per session, provide regular feedback through monthly clinical supervision. These discussions contribute to service planning, training needs, and internal support mechanisms. We also held informal peer discussions to share best practices around supporting clients with complex trauma, especially in preparation for our work with the criminal justice system. Community Organisations and Referral Partners We maintain close working relationships with organisations such as YMCA High Wycombe and Kaleidoscopic UK, who offer valuable insights into the mental health needs of their communities. In response to feedback from these partners, we designed bespoke support for vulnerable groups and improved coordination around client referrals, session timings, and safeguarding protocols. Their input also contributed to the successful delivery of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our therapeutic support programmes in 2025. Funding Bodies We consult with our funders, including the Heart of Bucks and Rothschild Foundation, and going forwards will be providing them, where required, with progress reports, impact updates, and budget transparency. Their guidance has helped us allocate funding more strategically, particularly in supporting staffing, evaluation, and outreach efforts. Full-Fee Paying Clients Full-fee clients are consulted through follow-up feedback forms and informal discussions. Their feedback has driven quality improvements in areas such as confidentiality, session structure, and aftercare. We also ensure they are informed about how their contribution supports others through our pay-it-forward initiative, creating a deeper sense of shared purpose and community investment. Through active consultation with all stakeholders, aMAZing Therapy Centre CIC continues to refine and expand its services to meet real community need. As we enter our third year of trading, stakeholder input remains central to our plans for growth, quality assurance, and impact.
