Wingspan is a holistic non-clinical practice, with a focus on mental and emotional health for each of our values clients. The practice is operated by Pagan Kelly and Fiona Richards, who have worked in mental health for many years.
“Cost is important to us – our rates are considerably lower than the average. We want to be affordable, so that our clients can have regular therapy rather than only when they can barely afford it.”
“If we can cover our overheads and pop food on our tables a few times per week, that will do.”
