About

Welcome to Rivers Assist, established in 2006 by Patricia Williams, MA, MBACP, MHFA. With a deep commitment to mental health and overall wellbeing, we offer comprehensive, bespoke programs designed to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our services extend across various sectors and age groups, tailoring mental health support that is both effective and compassionate.

Our values

Our dedication stems from the understanding that good mental health is a crucial aspect of everyday life, impacting not only personal happiness but also professional performance and societal engagement. Since our founding, we have worked to enhance the wellbeing of individuals, couples, families, and organisations alike, ensuring that mental health support is accessible to everyone who seeks it.

We believe in the power of open conversations around mental health. At Rivers Assist, we strive to create environments where individuals feel empowered to discuss their emotional and psychological challenges without fear or stigma. We are passionate about cultivating a positive culture that recognises good mental health as an essential component of a healthy, fulfilling life. By helping people access the resources and support they need, we aim to break down the barriers surrounding mental health, fostering inclusivity and acceptance.

"Supporting well being, one conversation at a time."

Rivers Assist understand that mental health doesn’t exist in isolation. Countless factors, both external and internal, play a role in shaping our wellbeing. These can include workplace stress, life transitions, physical health, and personal relationships. Left unaddressed, these influences can diminish your engagement, productivity, and overall satisfaction in life.

Our ultimate mission is to help individuals and organisations alike navigate these challenges by providing tools and strategies for better mental health management. We work closely with our clients to design tailored approaches that empower them to thrive in all areas of their lives.

At Rivers Assist, we go beyond corporate support. While we specialise in providing mental health services to businesses, helping them create healthier, more productive work environments, we also extend our expertise to individuals, couples, and families. 

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or a significant life change, our range of therapeutic options is designed to address your specific needs. We believe that with the right support, everyone has the potential to lead a more balanced and satisfying life, regardless of the challenges they face.

What sets Rivers Assist apart is our team of experienced professionals and our commitment to collaboration. Our team includes accredited counsellors, coaches, mental health practitioners, and wellbeing experts who are deeply invested in the well-being of every client. 

We also work with trusted partners to ensure our services are comprehensive and high-quality, leveraging the best resources and expertise available. By adopting a holistic approach to mental health, we are able to provide support that is both practical and transformative.

Geographic focus

While our head office is in Birmingham, West Midlands, we deliver services across the UK and internationally. We offer secure, confidential online sessions, making our services accessible to individuals, couples, and workplaces, no matter their location.

Whether you seek in-person support, or prefer the convenience of online sessions from the comfort of your own home, our goal is to provide professional, consistent, compassionate support that empowers you to thrive and flourish.
