Bristol mental health organisation crowdfunding for new therapy rooms
Sisu Therapeutic Services is a mental health community interest company based at Paintworks on Bath Road.
Sisu’s work is rooted in “the understanding that systemic oppression can profoundly impact both individuals and communities”.
“By validating and addressing these experiences, we strive to offer an equitable therapeutic space that champions social justice.”
Founded in 2024, the company offer counselling, talk therapy and psychotherapy among other services.
They are now crowdfunding for £5,000 to allow them to expand their offering and create three new therapy rooms.
The company has raised £400 with the crowdfunder due to end on May 20.
Sisu’s plan is to convert their space in the Paintworks into three therapy rooms
Sisu co-directors Kimberley Fuller, Stacey Cullen and Emily Hall said: “We are calling on the community to help raise funds to redesign our space and create three fully equipped therapy rooms to expand our services.
“Bristol already benefits from incredible mental health services like Nilaari and Off The Record, who provide vital support to the city.
“At Sisu, we want to complement these existing services by offering long-term, affordable therapy tailored to the needs of children, young people and adults.
“Mental health support should be accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the community’s needs.
“With your help, we aim to create a purpose-built, safe space featuring three therapy rooms designed for a range of therapeutic approaches.
“Additionally, we will establish a flexible office area that can also serve as a welcoming space for parents and carers to work while their children attend sessions, ensuring a supportive environment for the whole family.”
