About Harbour Minds
Who are we
Harbour Minds is a Community Interest Company (CIC) created to make mental health support more accessible, more affordable, and more human.
We exist to meet a growing need in our local communities for counselling and wellbeing services that are trauma-informed, inclusive, and available without long waiting lists or high private fees.
Based in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, we work with fully qualified and student counsellors on placement — under close supervision — to offer low-cost therapy sessions, supervision, and community wellbeing activities.
Our Mission
To provide a safe and inclusive space where people can explore their mental health and wellbeing, supported by trained counsellors in a way that is affordable and compassionate.
We believe in:
- Access for all — not just those who can afford private therapy
- Developing the next generation of counsellors through structured placements
- Reinvesting into our community through subsidised services and outreach
- Working collaboratively to create a more connected and supported society
Our Approach
- Low-cost counselling delivered by students and qualified practitioners
- Professional clinical supervision ensures ethical, high-quality practice
- Community wellbeing workshops and education days
- Transparent, ethical, and trauma-informed at every step
We are not-for-profit and proud to operate with an asset lock, meaning all income is reinvested into our mission.
Our Team
Harbour Minds was founded by a group of practitioners, supervisors, and community members who share a vision of accessible, high-quality support.
We’re passionate about helping people feel heard, supported, and empowered — whether through one-to-one counselling, group sessions, or wider wellbeing events.
How We Work with Students
We collaborate with UK counselling training organisations to provide high-quality placement opportunities for student counsellors. Each student receives ongoing supervision and training, helping them grow into confident, competent practitioners — while offering clients meaningful, affordable support.
