Our Therapy Service starts with the goals of a brain injury survivor and can extend to their family or carers.
We bring together our expertise across a range of therapies to give each person the support they need in the best way for them.
"Talking therapy helped me come out of my shell and learn about myself.”
Our Therapy Team use their expert knowledge of brain injury to help people achieve their potential and live a meaningful life.
Our interdisciplinary approach brings together our skills across a range of therapies to give each person what they need in the best way for them.
This can include help to:
"Some of us have never exercised before the brain injury, and many people don’t have access to a gym or don’t feel they will be able to receive the right support. The gym is very helpful for me and for all the Headway members."
We offer private therapy sessions with the aim of supporting people living with brain injury, their family or carer in navigating the complex path of recovery.
We offer the following therapies:
We also provide support for cases and complete medico-legal assessments and reports.

Our therapists work out how best to give the help that people need.

Each individual’s pathway is unique and we work with our professional teams to determine the best package of support.
We are commissioned by NHS North Central London to provide specialist community-based therapy services for adults with a non-progressive acquired brain injury (except stroke) in Enfield.
The values of Headway East London which acknowledge the long term and complex nature of brain injury are incorporated in our innovative approach to community rehabilitation.

"I don’t think I would have been at the stage I am without the group."
We are funded by Propel to explore health inequalities for brain injury survivors.
In 2023 we conducted a service audit of free-to-access mental health services in our catchment. This highlighted the lack of specialist service provision for brain injury survivors.
To address this gap, we are developing our member-led training programme and expanding research into these health barriers nationally.
If you would like to request some member-led training or discuss research opportunities, or contact us at info@headwayeastlondon.org.
