CREATIVE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Eggtooth is a Hastings-based charity supporting young people and families with the right support, at the right time, in the right way.
A creative mental health and wellbeing charity based in Hastings, East Sussex. For over 14 years, we have been supporting young people aged between 5 and 25 and families in the local community through creative and therapeutic, trauma and neurodivergent-informed approaches. We are a trusted, community-embedded organisation that has been shaped by local need, systemic gaps and lived experience, known for our ability to work creatively and flexibly, meeting young people and families where they are.
Funded Service
We offer 8 fully funded 1 to 1 creative and therapeutic sessions for 7-17 year olds that can be accessed via a referral from your GP (Hastings & St Leonards catchment only). Sessions can range from walking with horses to music to cooking to art and so much more. This pathway is currently closed to new referral – we are currently working through our waiting list.
Self Funded
We offer counselling, psychotherapy and creative sessions. Each one hour session is £55 and led by a highly skilled practitioner or therapist. We will work with you to find the best match for you.
Schools and Alternative Provision
Eggtooth’s specialist support and tailored learning experiences can better meet the needs of students with behavioural, emotional, or learning difficulties, improving their educational outcomes. Our skilled practitioners provide targeted mental health and wellbeing support, helping students address underlying issues that impact their ability to succeed in mainstream education.
