First you’ll make an enquiry for therapy by filling out the BMMUK self referral form

Providing you are eligible for support and we are in a position to fund therapy, you will then receive the BMMUK agreements for you to sign.Once all documents are reviewed and signed we will then send you for a comprehensive initial assessment.

Once we receive confirmation from our senior assessors that we are able to meet your identified needs we will match you with a qualified Black therapist for 10 weeks of online therapy.
