🧠 Our Services
At Baxenden Therapy Hub we offer a range of supportive, tailored services:
💬 Therapy & Wellbeing Support
Evidence-based therapeutic support for emotional wellbeing, mental health and life challenges, for clients of all ages in a safe, compassionate environment.
📘 Assessments & Neurodiversity Support
Professional SpLD and neurodiversity assessments that provide clear, detailed reports and next steps for individuals, families and educational settings.
📚 Irlen Syndrome Support & Pathways
At Irlen Centre Lancashire, we provide access to Irlen Syndrome assessments, training and tailored support options. Irlen Syndrome is a visual perceptual processing condition — not related to vision or eyesight — where the brain struggles to process light and visual information, leading to symptoms like light sensitivity, visual distortion, headaches, concentration difficulties, reading issues and sensory overload. Certified Irlen assessments can identify individual needs and recommend personalised colour filters, overlays or other accommodations to improve comfort and learning experiences.
🏡 Community Spaces for Hire
Flexible, welcoming rooms within the hub are available for local wellbeing groups, workshops, therapist use and community activities — supporting connection and shared growth.
🤝 Collaborations & Bespoke Support Packages
We work closely with local therapists, educators and wellbeing professionals to design bespoke packages that meet your goals, whether that’s support for school success, family wellbeing, transitional life stages or enhanced confidence.
💛 Our Mission & Values
At Baxenden Therapy Hub we are driven by a commitment to inclusion, clarity and community. We believe that:
• Everyone deserves clarity and understanding — about themselves, their thinking and how they experience the world.
• Support should be compassionate and accessible — no matter your age, background or challenge.
• Collaboration strengthens outcomes — by working with individuals, families, schools and local practitioners we create pathways that empower growth and connection.
Baxenden Therapy Hub is your space to be heard, understood and supported.
