This week we have hit another milestone of supporting 1,000 people with one to one counselling since 2019 🙌

This is not including our workshops, support groups, coffee morning or drop in's so i know we have likely doubled or tripled this over the years 💚

Since setting up Creative Minds in 2019 it has been our mission to support as many people as possible. Our service is growing, more people are finding out we are here and we are so gratful for everyone helping us to spread the word. 💚

Thank you so much to our funders who make this possible. Without you we simply wouldn't exist 🧡

Thank you to the wonderful ladies who joined me today for our AuDHD womens coffee morning. ☕️

This group is becoming something truly special to me and so many others 💚

Today we used the Neuro Cards for some focused discussions and explored our experience of Interception and Alexithymia from the cards chosen.

Thank you everyone for sharing so openly and honesty 🥰

Our next group will be held on 2nd June. See you then ✨️
