Mind in Harrogate District runs counselling sessions five days a week.



This story is sponsored by Mind in Harrogate District. 




Mind in Harrogate District is relaunching its counselling service following a full refurbishment of its premises. 

The mental health charity, which is based at the Acorn Centre on Station Parade, now has three brand-new counselling rooms with low lighting, comfortable seating, and soundproofed walls to ensure clients’ privacy. 

The service is open five days a week, from 9am to 7pm. 

People coming for counselling have an initial assessment with a qualified professional and will then be matched with one of Mind in Harrogate District’s counsellors according to their needs. 

Tina Chamberlain, CEO of Mind in Harrogate District, said: 

“Our service is very responsive to individual needs. The vast majority of the people we support come to us with multiple issues, including anxiety, depression, low mood, trauma, stress, a sense of loss or bereavement, or difficulties in their relationships. 
“Life can be messy – it's not neat and compartmentalised, and difficulties in one area can often spill over into other areas of life. We’re here to help people make sense of it all. They might not be in a really bad place – they often just have one or two areas where they need help and support.”

Counselling at Mind in Harrogate District costs £45 per session, with concessions for people receiving benefits. Clients can book up to 20 sessions, all at the same time each week.

The counselling service is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Tina said:

"Our counselling service is very competitively priced and people using the service can be confident that the funds generated are reinvested into supporting mental health and wellbeing services in the local community."


Mind in Harrogate District also offers a workplace wellbeing service, including counselling sessions for employees. Sessions are charged at the same rate as for private individuals. 

Yvie Lois, counselling coordinator, said:

“Our mental health is affected by all aspects of our lives which impacts on how we experience work, relationships and life. We have noticed an increased awareness and understanding surrounding mental health, which has empowered people to reach out for support.
“You don't have to do it alone. Counselling offers a safe, confidential environment for people to talk and process the issues that are affecting their lives”
