Counselling provides a safe confidential space to talk about difficulties and events in life. At your appointment, you’ll be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained therapist, who’ll listen and support you without judging or criticising.
The therapist can help you to gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and to find your own solutions to problems; they won’t usually give advice or tell you what to do.
Counselling can help with a wide range of issues such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, stress depression and anxiety. It can also help to explore events from the past and to develop a better understand of yourself and other issues that you may be experiencing.
How do I access Counselling?
You can access our counselling service by downloading a printable referral form here:
We will conduct an informal assessment to discover if counselling is a good option for you. If we feel you would benefit from counselling we will then ask you to attend an assessment to discover in what way our services can benefit you.
What to expect
Our counselling service is usually accessed for up to 8 sessions but there is also an option to work with a therapist on a longer term basis.
When you are allocated to a counsellor you will meet on the same day at the same time for the duration of your therapy.
Your counsellor will discuss the terms and conditions of your counselling at your first appointment and you can ask questions about anything you are unsure of.

With just over 6 weeks until the Rightmove MK Marathon Weekend, we are delighted to say that we will be supported by David Down Sports Therapy on the day.
'Mental Health has been something that I have become much more aware with over the past few years. Working in elite sport, a private practice, and even with numerous high profile individuals, I've learn that mental health is something that can effect anybody.
Its never nice seeing someone who is with battling mental health issues. Quite often I see people struggling to come to terms with an certain injuries, and although I may never fully understand the thoughts and feeling someone is going through, I know that having someone there to listen and support can go a long way.
This is why I am supporting Mind BLMK, so they can continue doing the great work they do, supporting people who are struggling with their mental health across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.'
Sports Massages will be provided by David to all Mind BLMK runners complimentary on the day within the arena, and accessible to other runners with the option of making a donation towards the charity.
A huge thanks to David, for kindly supporting the charity in this way and for providing this support to our amazing running community. 🌟

On behalf of everyone at Mind BLMK, we would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank our friends Foxley Kingham Anniversary Foundation, for all of their amazing support over the last year.
To celebrate their 50th birthday, the Luton based accountancy firm pledged to support 17 local charities over the year, with the aim of raising £50,000.
Together, they absolutely smashed their target raising a staggering £56,123 and it was an absolute pleasure to hear first hand how they achieved so much.
From a team Tough Mudder UK entry, quizzes, murder mysteries, skydives, cycle ride from London to Reading, Gala dinners, to their IT Support's personal weight loss journey - they went truly above and beyond in aid of their local community, and we are so grateful to them all. 🤩
Wishing the amazing RSR all the best of luck in their team 10k run in the Milton Keynes Festival of Running this Sunday! We are all so grateful for your support and look so forward to hearing how you all get on. To find out more and to make a contribution towards their target of £2,000.00 please visit their Just Giving page below. 🏃♂️🏃♀️💨💨💨
