Keeping people safe whilst travelling

We understand that some of the most vulnerable times for people with mental health or addiction issues are when they are travelling to or from a residential facility.  Once the decision has been taken to get help making sure you arrive at your destination without delay or distraction is pivotal.  This is all the more important when travelling abroad.

Our coaches are by your side

PBH coaches are trained and experienced accompanying people to and from treatment, or other locations. Helping clients cope with distractions, triggers or nerves as they undertake a difficult journey. We help our clients check in safely, handing them over to the care of their chosen facility. When returning we can be there to help settle them home, providing security and structure so that they will be safe and less likely to relapse.

Accompanying clients on travels

Whilst our transportation service is most often used to help someone to or from a treatment centre, we ca also fulfil other travel requirements.  This may be accompanying someone on holiday, making sure that there is safe companionship during festive periods or providing dedicated guidance when going on a business trip or on tour. We work with clients in a range of settings and have a roster of coaches who are experienced at managing just about any situation they find themselves in.

If additional information is required by a client in making an insurance claim an administration fee is payable.

Do you have a coach who suits my lifestyle/background/sexuality/gender/age/ethnicity etc

We have a wide range of coaches we work with from a whole range of backgrounds. It is rare that we are not able to find a match that suits our clients. If a client is particularly nervous we can arrange a free introductory meeting to see whether it will be a good fit before starting to work with someone.

Do you provide confidential support?

Discretion and confidentiality are our bywords. We protect our clients confidentiality rigorously and have processes in place to ensure that information is safeguarded. We pride ourselves on our discretion. Our flexible approach to support means that we can often work with clients in a way which suits their needs for privacy.

Where are you based?

We operate from two offices, one in London and one in Guildford, Surrey. However, we provide support to clients across the world through case management, coaching and therapy. This may include remote or online support or it may mean our coaches travelling to clients in their home country.

What do I do in an emergency?

Dealing with mental health problems is turbulent and characterised by repeated crises. PBH is not an emergency service. If you find yourself in a situation where someone needs medical assistance or there is an imminent danger you should call emergency services. If the situation is contained and you require rapid response in the form of case management or coaching please get in touch.
