May be the best thing I could do for myself

Counselling has helped me look and think about my life differently, I have learned to consciously filter my inner voice and thoughts and reject untruthful negative thoughts. My depression is under control and I have found myself able to go back to work with confidence. Generally my quality of life has improved as I'm no longer dreading every day but wake up enthusiastic to start my day.

I had an excellent experience with Emily, she showed genuine compassion and empathy, and always had a very relaxed and caring demeanor, that helped me open up and learn about myself in ways I have been unable to do before. She also shared helpful tips to cope with mental distress, which I would not have been aware of otherwise, and are very effective. I would highly recommend Emily as a Councillor.

Tess

I had some sessions with Tess throughout the end of last year, and I can't recommend her or the mindmap enough. Everyone goes through life hitting bumps in the road and Tess was there to help me get back on track. I was really hesitant for a few years to try anything like this but I'm really glad I did

The most wonderful and life-changing counselling experience I've ever had

It's incredible how The Mind Map counsellors have the ability to make you feel like they have known you your whole life. I have felt so seen, heard, understood and have came to some powerful revelations which I know will make my life such a calmer, healthier and more fruitful place to live in. After only a few sessions with the ever patient and glorious Tess, her expertise, discernment and insightfulness has already helped rewiring a very messy, lost and sad head. I was in such a low place, feeling helpless about where I was at, and Tess somehow managed to pull me out of the dark and more importantly, has taught me the tools to pull myself out. I feel empowered and in control of my life in a way I haven't before. Tess is currently teaching me to trust myself, and for this, I will be forever thankful. The sessions have brought me clarity, peace and wisdom, and I've started reclaiming joy and hope back into my life. I've also had sessions with Hannah, who was also nothing short of loving, encouraging, non-judgemental and overwhelmingly kind with my journey. These amazing women have put my self-worth, heart and confidence back together, piece by piece, and have made me feel so excited for what the future holds for the first time in years. The trust I have in Mind Map was instant, and that's down to their uber-skilled and even moreso uber-genuine, counsellors. Mind Map has became my mental health go-to and investing in these sessions have made the greatest addition to my life. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING MIND MAP!

Tess

I cannot praise Tess enough. She has all the qualities you would want in a therapist. She is compassionate, warm, non-judgemental. I always feel at ease during our sessions and know I can discuss issues I have freely without feeling judged. In a short space of time she has helped me process a lot of issues that have been troubling me. With her support I have gained a new found confidence and I am looking brightly to my future.
I always look forward to our sessions. Thank you Tess!

Tess

I have had 4 sessions with Tess So far and they are literally changing my life.
Tess is so kind, compassionate, professional and genuinely cares.
I have had a lot going on and a lot to try and process. Tess so effortlessly helps me to pin point certain parts of my life that are impacting me today, helps me recognise triggers and is really helping me to find myself again after a long time of feeling very lost.
I am grateful I found the mind map - and I am excited to continue on this journey with Tess’ guidance.
Highly, highly recommend.

My sessions with Tess have been amazing in helping me deal with my anxiety and any issues I have at the time. She is understanding and helps me to process my emotions in a way that I can't do alone. I always look forward to our sessions!

Tess- the Mind Map

I cannot overstate how beneficial my counselling session have been in helping me through some difficult times.
After I recently became widowed I was stuggling to deal with the grief & felt overwhelmed with anxiety. Tess is a skilled & insightful counsellor who has helped me identify the roots of issues I was experiencing in a way that enabled me to find useful strategies for addressing them.
I genuinely feel like a weight has been lifted after each session & I can honestly say that the counselling is having a positive impact in my life.
I would definately recommend Tess & the Mind Map & I am truly grateful for their help & support, if you are thinking of getting councelling my advice would be to get in touch with them asap & not delay.

I’ve been using the services here for awhile now and they’re amazing ! I genuinely look forward to speaking to Tess every week and I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made ! I have anxiety so talking one on one can be quite daunting but I feel so at ease with Tess like I’m just chatting with a friend :)

Claire Hopkins

I would thoroughly recommend Claire Hopkins as a psychotherapist. Claire helped identify critical nuances in my child's mental health condition. She helped forge positive working relationships with professionals, my doctor, school and CAMHS to better the outcomes for my young person.

As well as being an intelligent and intuitive therapist she was always a source of great comfort, offering extensive knowledge and expertise in her field.

I genuinely look forward to my counselling sessions!

I can't recommend The Mind Map enough! I was really hesitant to go back to therapy as I felt like nothing had helped in the past, but I wish I had booked sessions through this company years ago!

I've been having counselling with Charlotte for a few months now and although I only have time to have 2 sessions a month I feel like we've unravelled so much of the fog already that's been making day-to-day tasks so difficult. I suffered in silence for years but finally having someone to talk to who understands me, and shows amounts of compassion I've never seen in a human before makes me feel so supported and valid. I'm never not impressed by how Charlotte can reel back everything we've covered in a session, I feel so listened to and that makes every session worth every penny and second.

I genuinely don't have anything bad to say about my experience with The Mind Map and only wish I had found the courage to book sessions in sooner! I wish I had treated my mental health as an investment years ago, I'm amazed at how much difference I can see and feel in my attitude and behaviour towards everything now after only a few months. If you're thinking about booking sessions in now, DON'T WAIT! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Review

I am astounded and will be forever grateful for the support I have received from my counsellor Tess and the Mindmap. My sessions have been a safe place for me to speak, be heard and most importantly help gain the skills I needed to deal with difficult situations I was struggling with. Tess’ kind and nurturing approach allowed me to feel so comfortable from the start. My sessions have helped me in so many ways and have paved the way for my everyday life and my future.

Cannot recommend highly enough! Best service I've used

My sessions with Hannah so far have been incredibly helpful, I cannot recommend her highly enough. I've found they help me deal with stressful situations better and see things in different ways that are better for my mental health. It's always helpful knowing there's someone I can go to and talk things through without judgement and displays sincere empathy. Hannah is always attentive and questions things to encourage thought and discussion on the matter and helps find solutions to the problems. Using the Mindmap has been one of the best decisions I've ever made and my mental health has significantly improved because of your service so thank you!

Highly recommended

I accessed The Mind Map through gymbird membership and found the experience very positive. The booking system was easy to use and I was offered several counsellors local to me. I could easily book a session from a wide range of options. My session was really helpful and despite my initial hesitation around online therapy sessions, I have benefitted from it. Would recommend.

I used the mind map for counselling…

I used the mind map for counselling sessions during a very difficult time of my life. I had experienced the long waiting lists for counselling. But my counsellor Tess has helped me to get to the truth, untangle my thoughts and feel more positive for what is to come. We had a great connection and she listened to all of my problems and made me feel at ease. I feel there is hope for everyone who is having a difficult time you are not alone. But I can honestly say that the support I have received from the Mind Map and the services have gone above and beyond expectations. Huge thank you to the Mind Map and Tess, I couldn’t of done this without you.
