I was fortunate enough to be allocated counselling sessions of which I attended 2. However, I felt I wasn't quite ready as I wasn't comfortable addressing certain issues at the moment. I therefore, emailed my counsellor to explain & requested a break in the sessions to perhaps allow me time to be in a better place to discuss my problems fully.
Unfortunately she never responded & just sent me a computer generated appointment for the following week. I then text her with the same message hoping she would get back to me, as I didn't want to jeopardise my remaining allocated sessions, as I was eager

I have been attending Mind for two sessions so far and I have been very impressed with the whole service. Each time I've been welcomed with a smile at the door and been made to feel fully at ease by all staff interactions. My 1:1 councellor Jerry is brilliant. He has already began to make me feel supported, cared for and he makes me comfortable when discussing difficult subjects. His approach has made me for the first time in my recovery feel more grounded and centered. I am already looking forward to my next session. Thank you.

I attended a Mental Health Awareness course here a little while ago. There is no parking on site but easy access by public transport and a number of car parks within eady walking distance. The facilities were good and the staff (volunteers?) friendly and helpful. The course itself was professionally presented and varied with the opportunity for individual input and group discussion. An extremely rewarding experience.

The Service is Quick and Efficient. With Plenty of Room to Sit Inside. They have a wide Range of various Coffees. The Taste and Quality of Cappuccino's that I Order are a good Rich Flavour that is Strong, which I like Very much. One can purchase various sizes of Coffee from Small, Medium and Large, so the Cost varies to suit your pocket.
The Staff are Friendly, warm, and Welcoming.
There is also an Outside area to sit and enjoy the Surrounding area. Also, One can Smoke Outside. An Overall good Experience.
