“There’s not many places where you can do this sort of thing. I just wish there was more chance of this sort of stuff."
Men's Group Participant

Heart Wood is a mental health charity based in Hexham, Northumberland. We offer free, person-centred therapeutic group counselling in a natural environment, for men who are experiencing complex and enduring poor mental health.

We work with people within our community who often cannot engage with existing services.What we offer is unique and different - a quality intervention with small manageable group sizes, that puts people in the lead.

Heart Wood also offers residential CPD training courses in the Heart Wood approach of working therapeutically in nature, and facilitated wellbeing days for staff teams.

To find out more about our programme and join our mainling list for CPD training, please contact Emma at admin@heartwoodcharity.org or call 07813 814644.
