Healthy Mind Counselling Service
Suffolk Mind offers an in-house, open access counselling service providing personal and confidential support from trained counsellors.
Our counsellors provide the opportunity for people to talk about day to day difficulties such as relationship and family problems or personal crises and, at the same time, help people to resolve their situations using their own insight and resources.
People can refer themselves to this service. We have consulting rooms across Suffolk, in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, Stowmarket, Felixstowe and Newmarket. Appointments usually last for 50 to 60 minutes and are offered on a weekly basis.
All information, both given and received during counselling sessions, is strictly confidential within professional boundaries and the law. This will be explained fully at the first session of counselling.
This service is fee paying on a sliding scale system. People on low income or benefits may qualify for the minimum payment.
Details of this service can be obtained by:
- Phoning our Stowmarket office on 01449 676337
