Personal Session Presets and a few deeper therapeutic skills (the rest of the skill library stays free)

Connect & Support UK is run by Play North West CIC — a Community Interest Company, not a tech startup. Your Premium pays for the version of this app that someone in crisis will open tonight. You’re not unlocking yourself — you’re paying it forward.
