LONDON ACCESSIBLE PSYCHOTHERAPY (LAPIS) 31 October 2022 Trustees’ Annual Report for the period 01/11/2021 to 31/10/2022
Aims and purposes
The aims of London Accessible Psychotherapy and Inclusive Supervision (LAPIS) are to provide psychotherapy services to anyone affected by physical or learning disabilities, their carers and family, including individual counselling and psychotherapy, mindfulness and mindful movement classes and group work. Therapy is always open-ended and low-cost, where the client decides how much to pay.
Objectives and activities
We have provided online or telephone weekly individual counselling and psychotherapy, and had begun to work face-to-face in various community settings. We also run individual and groupwork and counselling schemes commissioned by other organisations and charities. LAPIS provides professional training in order to provide specialist disability education plus high quality individual fortnightly clinical supervision to all staff by registered psychotherapists and counselling psychologists with expertise in this field. The training and supervision/support services are provided to other charitable and commercial organizations.
LAPIS currently has 19 volunteer psychotherapists, three grant writer volunteers, two website designer volunteers, a graphic designer volunteer, and seven trustees (two are about to be inducted and one is leaving). To utilise our grant to cope with increased referrals during COVID lockdowns, we have 5 paid sessional psychotherapists.
Achievements and performance
During this financial year we served 115 clients and currently have 90 clients on our books plus a waiting list of around 10 referrals. They will all be placed with a LAPIS therapist by February 2023.
Other activities: This year we have also continued online our online mindful movement classes for women with disabilities, serving 4-10 women weekly. We have hosted and facilitated monthly staff support sessions for another charity. LAPIS carried out a pilot counselling scheme of adults with Cerebral Palsy, commissioned by another charity and is currently submitting a journal article for publication based in the outcomes. LAPIS carried out a lecture for a psychoanalytic psychotherapy training organisation and has been commissioned to provide two lectures on the counselling psychology doctorate training at a London university. LAPIS has started Partnerships with one charity, setting up a weekly clinic space in their facility, and we are currently in partnership discussions with three other services. LAPIS is planning a Parent Carer Wellbeing Conference for May 2023 in partnership with a national service and have secured funding for this from four other organisations. We will provide for 80 parents at this event and will be filmed to distribute more widely. A London school alternative education facility has been volunteering to write to and visit businesses to provide wellbeing products for the parent carers. Other individuals and businesses have been making and providing gifts and printing for the conference and it will be staffed by LAPIS and other skilled volunteers
Financial review
Reserves policy
The charity retains circa £10,000 every financial year to cover expenses for the following year. The Reserves policy is reviewed annually after the end of the financial year and may be changed if appropriate.
Financial review
'We have had £15,000 in private donations, with at least £10,000 further pending that is our reserve (we're waiting for Gift Aid approval for this and further pledges to be actualised). We're waiting on a few grants, adding up to £25,000 and others are currently being written. We have also reduced our outgoings through charity partnerships who allow us to use their spaces at no cost, and are reducing the number of paid sessional therapists due to the increase in numbers of volunteer therapists.

On the advice and guidance of 180 DC and the consultant we hired last summer, our corporate partnership team is starting to market our services in industry next month, once our Branding and website are ready. We hope to gain at least two contracts in industry and with solicitors, and are promoting bespoke Packages including training, staff support services and individual psychotherapy (Disability Employee Assistance Program). The proceeds from the partnerships will directly financially support the charity whilst helping companies to fulfil their corporate responsibilities.
