Oakwood Solicitors is proud to announce a formal partnership with Towards, a Leeds-based high-street therapy organisation dedicated to empowering individuals through accessible, high-quality mental health support.
Through this collaboration, this mental health awareness month, we are expanding our commitment to client care. We believe legal representation should go beyond the courtroom; it should ensure that every individual has access to the vital emotional and psychological support they need during life’s most challenging moments.
Bridging the Gap Between Legal and Social Support
Navigating legal hurdles, whether personal injury, family disputes, or complex litigation, often carries a significant emotional toll. The strain can be overwhelming, and legal success is only one part of a person’s recovery.
By partnering with Towards, Oakwood Solicitors provides clients with a direct pathway to person-centred therapy, fostering resilience and well-being alongside their legal journey.
Who are Towards?
Towards was founded on the conviction that the current mental health system is often inaccessible. Long waiting lists, high costs, and clinical jargon can prevent people from getting help when they need it most.
Towards has reimagined the model, making support simple, reliable, and local. With their flagship hub in the heart of Leeds, they provide a tangible bridge to recovery.
How They Support the Community
Towards removes the traditional barriers to mental health care through five core pillars:
- Accessibility: Support is available both online via a dedicated app and in-person at high-street hubs.
- Simplicity: No complex referrals or endless waiting lists. Clients are typically matched with a therapist within days.
- Reliability: Every therapist is hand-picked and trained by Towards to ensure the highest standards of clinical safety.
- Affordability: Competitive rates for 1-to-1 sessions and low-cost group options ensure quality care is priced fairly.
- Local Focus: By establishing hubs on local high streets, towards ensures clients are supported by therapists who understand their community.
Visit the Leeds Hub
Residents in Leeds can visit the Towards hub on Albion Place to begin their journey or simply drop in for an informal chat.
The Albion Place space is designed to be warm and welcoming, maintaining total confidentiality while removing the “clinical” feel of traditional therapy. No booking is required for an initial enquiry.
“The Leeds hub is designed to be a safe, judgment-free, welcoming space where you’ll feel heard, understood, and supported by people who truly care.” Sally Charles, Lead Therapist, Leeds.
Types of Support Available
Through this partnership, Oakwood Solicitors’ clients and the wider community can access:
- 1-to-1 Therapy
- Couples Counselling
- Group Therapy Sessions
- Family Support
- Young People’s Services (Ages 12+)
Supporting the Person, Not Just the Case
Legal assistance is vital, but it is rarely the whole story. By joining forces with Towards, we are able to look after the individual, not just the file. We aren’t just standing by you during your claim; we are your long-term partners, ensuring you have the strength and support to move forward with confidence.
Towards recognises how “legal stress impacts mental health, yet legal and therapeutic support have traditionally operated in silos. Oakwood approach their clients the way we approach ours, with seriousness and without judgment. For people in Leeds navigating something difficult, this partnership means they no longer have to do both alone.” Sarah Bateup – Towards therapy.
