Bupa has opened a mental health centre at Broadgate Central, London.
The centre will support employers with their workforce’s mental health and the government’s aim to boost economic growth through workplace health and wellbeing.
It is the 20th mindplace centre to open follows the insurer’s commitment to open 70 mindplace centres across the UK by 2027.
Billed as its flagship location, it will initially be available to business and UK Insurance customers with capacity for more than 400 patients per week.
The purpose-built centre provides access to face-to-face talking therapies including counselling, psychology, psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It has seven therapy rooms suitable for one-to-one sessions, couples therapy and a dedicated group therapy room.
The centre will be open seven days a week.
Sarah Melia, general manager for health services at Bupa, said: “There is an increasing need for mental health support across the UK and fast access to services has never been more important; early interventions improve outcomes.
“We know people want face to face access to mental health professionals so we’re pleased to be investing in Mindplace Broadgate, our flagship centre and first to open in the capital, as well as 70 centres across the UK by 2027.
“Providing these crucial mental health services supports businesses to keep people well and in work.”
