Specialist Therapy for 999/NHS Personnel

In 2017, our Managing Director, Rebekah Golds-Jones, founded Stepping Stones to provide low cost specialist therapy for first responders and NHS personnel after being married to a Paramedic for many years, as well as having worked on in both the Police and Ambulance Street Triage NHS mental health services across Sussex and Hampshire over her 28 years of service. 

Since this point, Rebekah and the team have worked with hundreds - approaching one thousand! - of ambulance, police, fire and NHS personnel from all over the UK, and have provided a range of therapies to support the improvement of their wellbeing, with huge success.  This has been with clients who have privately referred to Stepping Stones, those who have been referred by their employer and those who have come to us via charitable trusts.

Privately referring 999 and NHS personnel and their immediate families are entitled to see our therapists at a vastly reduced rate of £35 per 50 minute appointment for 1:1 sessions (£40 for EMDR / REWIND Therapy) and £55 for couples / family sessions that are 90 minutes long.

At Stepping Stones, we work within a 12 session model with all of our private clients, as we believe that this is the most clinically effective amount of time within which a therapeutic alliance can be formed which enables clients to benefit most from their therapeutic journey.

Stepping Stones is a very unique and specialist service, where the therapists understand the life of 999 personnel - often due to personal experience or from having worked with many 999 staff over the years. 

As a team we attend regular CPD events connected to working with emergency services personnel,  to ensure our understanding of the 999 work remains current and valid.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to the service in due course, and to answering any questions you may have. 

*Proof of employment will be requested by the therapist at your first meeting.

**The reduced rate applies to all 999 employees and NHS employed staff
