Mind Matters is for anyone aged 17 and over who is seeking support to manage a mental health issue and who is registered with a GP practice in Surrey.

Our service ensures that we meet the needs of different age groups, people from different backgrounds and communities, and people with a disability or sensory loss or any other protected characteristic. The information below provides more detail about how we do this.

We are committed to making therapy accessible for everyone, including those who are typically less likely to access support, such as:
•    people who have a learning disability
•    those who do not have English as their first language
We adapt our sessions to make them easier to access and engage. Adaptations may include sessions in another language using our bi-lingual therapists or an interpreter, questionnaires available in other languages, and adapted session materials including simplified text or spoken rather than written materials. 

We work closely with local universities and schools to provide free talking therapies to Surrey’s students who are aged 17 and over. 

We are aware of the stress and common problems that students experience and can offer cognitive behaviour therapy and counselling to help manage mood to have a positive impact on studies.
