Who we help
Veterans at Ease is a leading Military Mental Health Charity, committed to helping all members of HM Armed Forces Community, be it Veterans, Reservists, Serving Military Personnel or their families, so they can deal with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, flashbacks or thoughts of suicide, as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other combat stress-related issues.
We will help anyone who feels they need our support whether they have been diagnosed or not.
We provide free therapy and support through a technique called NLPt by our trained therapists (all of whom have suffered themselves, been through treatment with Veterans at Ease and then gone on to qualify).

Our Therapy Explained
At Veterans at Ease we use a a range of psychotherapies that fall into the category of Integrative psychotherapy and within that we have therapists trained in Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) which is a specialised form of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), based on the principle that we “construct” our own reality.
An NLPt psychotherapist works on the basis that we each build our own unique “model” or “map” of the world around us and, although such maps are genuine and real to us as individuals, no one’s “map” is fully able to represent the “real world”. Most elements of our “maps of the world” are useful and work well for us, but some of our beliefs and behaviour patterns get in the way of our own progress and can make us feel “stuck” or out of control.
With NLPt, you can explore how you think in ways that are perhaps new, constructive and useful, you may model effective behaviours and find successful strategies, and then apply these to improve your own life.
NLPt draws on concepts from many areas of psychology and psychotherapy. It helps us to understand how and why we do what we do, and how to change those unhelpful behaviours and thinking patterns. It also helps us to develop a greater sense of self-control, recognise our own best qualities, and use them well.
Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy, is a psychoanalytic theory and method of therapy wherein social interactions (or “transactions”) are analyzed to determine the ego state of the communicator (whether parent-like, childlike, or adult-like) as a basis for understanding behavior.[1] In transactional analysis, the communicator is taught to alter the ego state as a way to solve emotional problems.
As well as Hypnopsychotherapy, which combines hypnosis with psychotherapeutic techniques to help individuals address deeper problems, explore thoughts and emotions, and promote positive change in behavior, attitudes, and overall well-being.
A typical session will last about 1 hour. You may be asked to carry out some small tasks at home between sessions, for example: keep a journal or logbook, read an article, watch a movie, practise a certain technique, listen to a CD, or experiment with a new behaviour. All of that said, when we deal with traumatic experiences you will not be asked to re-live your experience in detail. We also adhere to the ethical guidelines of the UKCP and BACP and as such all of our therapists attend regular supervision sessions and their own therapy sessions.

Supporting the Armed Forces Community
What drives Veterans at Ease
In 2007, our founder and CEO Garreth Murrell, suffered from the devastating affects of PTSD, 14 years after he returned from Op Grapple 1 in Bosnia. Having been suicidal whilst trying to deal with it himself, he discovered NLP and in a very short time found that it resolved the psychological effects of his experiences.
As a result of the support Garreth received, his passion for life increased and he realised he could help other veterans who are struggling with life after the military. He decided to change career, re-train as an NLP psychotherapist and Veterans at Ease was born.
Everyone here at Veterans at Ease, whether they are therapists, paid staff or volunteers, all share the same passion to help ease the psychological and emotional suffering of every veteran who asks for our help. Garreth’s treatment was very expensive, which is why we became a charity, offering the same NLP therapy initially received by Garreth, on a free basis to those Veterans we work with.
Many of our employees and volunteers come from the Armed Forces Community so you’ll be understood and in good hands.
