We Are Changing Mental Health For The Better

We refuse to accept a world where people in need are left waiting. Right now, 1.4 million children in the UK are struggling with their mental health, yet 39% of them are turned away from treatment. Waiting lists stretch beyond 1,399 days, leaving too many feeling lost, unheard, and alone.

We exist to change this. By providing fast, practical, and empathetic support, we are breaking down barriers and making sure no one is left behind. Mental health support should not be a luxury, it should be a lifeline, available whenever you, your child or your employees need it.

Jon’s Story

Turning Struggle Into Support

Jon Manning knows what it is like to feel lost and unheard. At just six years old, he was placed in a children’s mental health setting after facing a difficult year. Growing up, he tried to get help but was met with long waiting lists, complicated processes, and little support. Even when he was in crisis and placed on an urgent care list in his early twenties, he was told he would have to wait four years for help.

Instead of giving up, Jon turned his pain into purpose. He founded Arthur Ellis to create the support he never had, help that is fast, personal, and truly makes a difference.

Jon’s journey has shaped everything we do, making sure no one has to feel as alone as he once did. Through his work, he is changing the way people access mental health support, proving that with the right help, no one is beyond hope.

What We Do

  • 1:1 Support – Our trained mentors provide personal virtual sessions, offering a safe space to talk, be heard, and find practical ways to make you feel more like yourself.

  • Workplace Wellbeing – We partner with businesses to provide wellbeing sessions, workshops, and frameworks that give employees the tools to better understand and manage their mental health.

  • Workshops & Community Wellbeing – We work with schools, colleges, and local groups to bring mental health education and support to people of all ages, helping communities recognise early signs of struggle and build stronger support networks.


By partnering with workplaces, we can fund our charity, The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation. This allows us to offer free sessions to those who need them, especially children and young people.

Why We Do It

Too many people are struggling, but help comes too late if at all. Right now, 1.4 million children need support, yet 39% are turned away, and waiting lists stretch beyond 1,399 days.


Our founder Jon lived this reality. From the age of six, he tried to get help but faced endless delays. Even at his lowest, on an urgent care list, he was told to wait four years. No one should have to wait that long.


Arthur Ellis exists to change this. We provide fast, practical, and compassionate support through mentoring, workplace wellbeing and community workshops so no one is left behind. Mental health support should not be a privilege. It should be there when it is needed most.
