A safe welcoming space for better mental health

Welcome to Wiltshire Mind

Offering one to one counselling and group support

Our waiting List for Counselling Support

Due to exceptionally high demand, our waiting lists for children and young people’s counselling is currently very long. At this time, you may experience a wait of nine months before an appointment becomes available.

Our waiting list for low cost adult counselling is approximately two months. (as at September 2026).

As a charity, we rely entirely on funding and donations to provide our services, and our ability to offer counselling is limited by the resources available within our income budget. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to support everyone in need.

If you are in crisis
Signposting

If you or someone you know might imminently attempt suicide, or has already seriously harmed themselves, contact 999 or go to the nearest Accident & Emergency department.

Mental health emergencies are serious, you are not wasting anyone’s time.

If you need urgent support for your mental health but it is not life-threatening, contact the NHS on 111 (option 2) who can tell you how best to get support in your area.

Wiltshire Mind does not offer a Crisis Service.
Thank you.
