Soulwalker Pledge

 SOULWALKER PLEDGE HERE

Our vision is to normalise mental health and therapy. Soulwalk, one of our key activities promotes walking in nature for our physical and mental wellness.

What is the Soulwalker Pledge?

In 2019 we created the Soulwalker Pledge to support:

  • Individuals – Those unable to access 1-2-1 therapy (walking or skype) due to financial constraints
  • Pay Forward – As a way for others, who know the benefit of talking therapy to pay forward for someone else to receive therapy
  • The provision of Soulwalks – Our free community walks in nature

Soulwalker Pledge [PLEDGE HERE]

The reduced fee therapy, and the Soulwalks will be provided by Founder of Soulhub, Carmen Rendell. She’s a trained integrative therapist. Her love is to walk and talk, either in nature, or nowadays also remotely on the phone or skype.

Donate anything from £20 to £500, and you can support someone else along their way. Pay forward for someone who might appreciate walking and talking. Someone to listen to them. To share. To work through whatever their current issues or concerns. As an example Carmen works with those who currently have:

  • Lack of direction, difficulty choosing what’s next in life
  • Anxiety and uncertainty
  • Depression and lack lustre
  • Struggling to find happiness
  • Lack of confidence and low self esteem
  • Grief or loss
  • Relationship issues

Carmen’s current client fee is £510 for 6 sessions (March 2021)

This is how it works?

The Pledger

  1. The Pledger decides how much he/she would like to pledge;£20 to £500 contribution.
  2. They make their pledge here 
  3. The pledge will go into the overall funding pot to be used for clients unable to pay or need reduced fee therapy sessions (who are deemed eligible by Carmen) will receive therapy
  4. Funding will also cover the costs of monthly Soulwalks in nature organised by Soulhub.

The Client

  1. Contact carmen@soulhub.co.uk to arrange a chemistry call. During this call Carmen will discuss financial status, appetite for therapy, availability and duration of therapy.
  2. Each month Carmen ring fences an allocated number of hours (depending on funds received) to the Soulwalker Pledge clients. (Current demand in March 2021 = 4 hours per month).
  3. Individuals will be offered therapy on a 6 week rotation

Why this could be important to you

  • You’ve benefited from counselling / therapy and wish to give others the chance to reap the same benefits you had
  • Someone close to you who you hoped would look for some external support, but for one reason or another hasn’t be able to
  • You have someone in mind you’d like to gift a therapy session for
  • You would like personal therapy, but don’t have the current funds to pay for regular therapy

WHO’S BENEFITTED SO FAR

As part of Therapy Thursday during COVID, 5 individuals were given free therapy by the Soulhub team.

Approx. 15 Soulwalks around London and on the Coastal Path with over 90 people walking in nature with the community.

In addition, to date (March 2021) 46 hours of therapy have been provided, supported by the Soulwalker Pledges below.
