Contact us today and we’ll be in touch to design a programme of support that’s right for you.
Supported self-help is a free, 6-week guided programme. Supported self-help can make a positive difference to your mental health.
It’s a free programme that works with you, to support you to recognise and understand your emotions. Over six weeks we’ll give you information, resources and regular phone calls to help improve how you feel.
You don’t need a GP referral to sign up for supported self-help. This is a one-to-one guided self-help service, not a counselling service. But our practitioners do use counselling based skills in their support. It incorporates some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) style tools but also provides other kinds of support.
Once you’ve signed up, we’ll get in touch to talk about the issues you’re dealing with. If supported self-help is right for you, together we’ll agree a programme of support. This can cover any of the following:
If you move forward with supported self-help, we’ll invite you to a 40-minute session to discuss in more detail what support you’re looking for.
Each week we’ll call to check in on how you’re doing and give you any support you might need. We’ll also send you materials to help you understand and manage your feelings. These might include explaining how and why we experience difficult emotions, completing a thought diary or practicing mindfulness techniques.
Supported self-help is a six-week guided self-help programme that works with you, to support you to recognise and understand your emotions. Over six weeks we’ll give you information, resources and regular phone calls to help improve how you feel.
It can help people with mild to moderate mental health problems, such as:
The service is for adults (18+) who are experiencing a mild to moderate mental health problem. You must be living in the Haringey borough.
It’s okay if you have, or don’t have, a formal mental health diagnosis.
It’s okay if you’re on a waiting list for counselling or another form of mental health support such as therapy.
We’re sorry but supported self-help isn’t for people under the age of 18.
You won’t be able to access supported self-help if you are currently accessing another form of mental health support such as counselling or therapy.
Supported self-help is delivered over the phone or via video call, to make it easier to fit around your weekly schedule.
In a recent survey:
Each week we’ll call to check in on how you’re doing and give you any support you might need. We’ll also send you materials to help you understand and manage your feelings. These might include:
In your last session, together we’ll review how you’re feeling and talk about the ways the course has helped. We’ll talk about what’s next and if Mind can support you in any other ways. We might also suggest services or activities available from organisations other than Mind.
You’ll have at least six sessions, over the course of six to eight weeks.
When you sign up, you’ll be given some options for your first appointment, but if there isn’t one to suit you, someone will contact you within 28 days to help you find one that does.
You’ll also need to set aside some time to work through the resources.
It’s totally free, thanks to investment from Mind and external funders.
