About us
We are affiliated to Mind, supporting people who are experiencing mental health problems or emotional distress.
We provide one-to-one counselling support for people who are experiencing mental health problems. During the pandemic, we have provided our services remotely to support those facing isolation and loneliness.
Our free counselling for children and young people aged 11+ aims to provide a safe space where highly specialist counsellors use a range of creative therapeutic methods to help young people connect to, and express, their emotions. Helping young people develop coping strategies can mean they are able to thrive rather than just survive.
Vision: Wiltshire Mind’s vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all and that treats people with experience of mental distress fairly, positively and with respect.
