The Happiful Foundation
Supporting charities offering counselling and talking therapies
Our belief
Everyone should have access to support when they need it.
Local and nationwide charities are providing life-changing counselling services, often with limited funding and increasing demand.
We want to support and help grow the work these charities are already doing through direct and meaningful donations.
Who are we?
Happiful
A mental health and wellbeing platform where people can connect with uplifting, expert-led content as well as find professional support services through our five wellbeing directories.
Counselling Directory
Our core directory connects people with professional, verified counsellors across the UK. Founded in 2005, Counselling Directory has connected more than 10 million people to qualified counsellors in private practice.
Through the Happiful Foundation, we’re donating to UK charities that are delivering counselling services to their beneficiaries.
“Counselling Directory was founded in 2005 with a clear mission – to help more people access the support they need. That mission has remained at the heart of everything we do, and The Happiful Foundation is our next step in delivering on our mission. We’re incredibly passionate about supporting the work of charities offering counselling in their communities, and proud that we can now contribute directly to this vital work.”
– Amy-Jean Burns, CEO at Happiful
