Leicester mental health clinic scoops prestigious community business award

Leicester-based Purple House Clinic, a trusted name in psychological therapy and neurodiversity support, has been named Community Business of the Year at the SME Leicestershire & Rutland Business Awards.

The Gold Award celebrates the clinic's exceptional positive impact both locally and nationally through accessible, high-quality mental health and neurodiversity services for adults and children.

Purple House Clinic was founded in Leicestershire by husband-and-wife team Dr Katie Morris and Steven Stych. It has since grown into an expanding UK network of seven clinics across England and Scotland, complemented by a nationwide online provision.

Across the network, the clinic delivers approximately 18,000 appointments each year, helping adults, children and families access timely specialist support that may otherwise involve significant waiting periods.

The Leicester clinic sits at the heart of this work, not only providing extensive services to clients across the county, but leading the way with service developments and nationwide initiatives across the whole Purple House Clinic network.

Founder and Clinical Director, Dr Katie Morris, said:

"It's a fantastic achievement to win this award and Steven and I are so proud to have built a business that demonstrates a meaningful and lasting positive impact on the communities we serve across Leicestershire.

We are able to transform lives through timely, evidence-based, and compassionate psychological healthcare, while actively championing awareness, inclusion, and wellbeing both locally and across the UK.

Our aim is to deliver accessible, tailored support designed to complement overstretched public services and reduce waiting times for those seeking care.

"This accolade would not have been possible without our incredible team, who are all so committed and hardworking. This recognition is as much theirs as it is Steven's and mine. Together, we have expanded the business and continued to deliver the quality of care that our clients deserve."

On awarding the accolade, Damian Cummins, Awards Director of the SME Leicestershire & Rutland Business Awards commented:

"Purple House Clinic were deserving Gold Winners of the Community Business of the Year award. The judges were especially struck by the meaningful way their work supports people through tailored mental health and neurodiversity services for both adults and children, and the difference this is making in the wider community.

These awards play an important role in supporting and championing local businesses across Leicestershire and Rutland, and Purple House Clinic is a great example of that impact in action."
