PFA Wellbeing services

Members of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) have a range of fully funded therapeutic services available to them, as outlined on the PFA website.

  • Contact with a member of the PFA wellbeing team (via phone, email or text).

  • A call from the team to discuss presenting issues and initiate the process of finding a suitable therapist. Where possible members will be matched with a therapist who has experience and expertise relevant to the presenting issue. Members will also choose between online or in-person sessions.

  • The member will then begin a course of 6-12 sessions. These sessions can be tailored to work around a player’s training schedule.

  • A range of talking therapies will be available to help members identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

  • Therapy will conclude and members will review its effectiveness with their therapist. If additional support is required a member of the PFA Wellbeing team will be in touch.
