About Us
We care about your mental health and well-being
At Mind Matters NE, we are a Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to making mental health support accessible to all. As a social value enterprise, every penny we generate is reinvested into providing funded mental health services, ensuring no one is left behind due to financial barriers.
We are committed to making mental health care accessible to all by offering both funded community programmes and private therapy services. Whether you’ve been referred by a GP or community organisation, or you’re seeking immediate, tailored support as a self-referral, we are here to help. Our funded services ensure that cost is not a barrier, while our private therapy options provide flexible, personalised care for those who prefer direct access. Whatever your situation, our goal is to empower you to take control of your mental well-being in a way that works best for you.
Who We Are
We are a team of experienced mental health professionals who believe in compassionate, person-centred care.
Our approach is built on understanding, lived experience, and professional expertise.
