Welcome to the Global Mental Health Network

The Global Mental Health Network started in Dorset, as a small independent idea by counsellor Holly Cruttenden, from a deep commitment to making mental health support accessible, especially for those who might otherwise go without it, and has grown rapidly, now offering support worldwide! Our mission is to offer compassionate, low-cost counselling to individuals from all walks of life, at a low-cost rate. We work to a Person-Centred approach for adults, as well as for children and young people (11+). Our experienced practitioners work across a broad range of needs, from managing daily life stresses and anxiety to supporting individuals through major life transitions, identity exploration, relationship breakdowns, workplace challenges, and the complexities of neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ experiences.

We are proud to also support clients internationally, with current individuals accessing our service from countries including Ireland, Canary Islands and mainland Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Dubai and Peru. Our international work has developed through a combination of self-referrals, recommendations, and direct school referrals, often where access to local mental health services is limited, has long waiting lists, or is financially inaccessible.

Expertise includes working with mild through to severe and complex mental health needs, in both counselling and psychiatric settings, allowing us to provide rounded, informed support based on each individual’s needs. Sessions are available online, via telephone, text-based chat, and in-person in Ramsgate, Kent.

About Us

The Global Mental Health Network was founded in 2023 by counsellor and psychotherapist Holly Cruttenden after personally experiencing the barriers of long waiting lists and unaffordable therapy. TGMHN provides low-cost counselling to make emotional and psychological support accessible worldwide, regardless of background, location or income. Sessions are available online, by phone, text or in-person, whichever works best for you

Adult Services

We offer low-cost, confidential, person-centred support for adults worldwide. These sessions are flexible, affordable sessions to help anyone, wherever they are. We work with mild to severe mental health conditions, as well as offering support to those who just need a little help through a difficult period in their life.

Children and Young Person Services

Supportive, age-appropriate counselling for children and young people worldwide. We create a safe space for CYP to explore their emotions, thoughts and feelings, in a safe and non-judgemental way. These services are available to individuals who are aged 11+. Where needed, we can also assist with referrals to external services, including CAMHS, secondary mental health teams, or specialist organisations to ensure the best outcomes for those we support.
