Anxious Minds is a multi national award-winning community mental health and healthcare charity supporting people in crisis.
We believe cost should never stand in the way of someone getting mental health support. As a charity, we keep our counselling fees low to make professional help more affordable. These contributions help cover the cost of delivering counselling, while donations, grants and fundraising help us maintain free community support.
