Who are Minds Matter?

Minds Matter is a name used by the local, highly respected charity, MCH Psychological Services, and is also the charity behind one of the Island’s other leading mental health charitable organisations, Isle Listen. Minds Matter has helped many people and their families on the Island suffering from long-term conditions, with mental health and wellbeing support for nearly 40 years and was formerly better-known as The Lisa Lowe Centre and Manx Cancer Help.

The charity has long been aware of the difficulties faced by people trying to access mental health support, either for themselves or for their children, and with the growth in its service, it today operates, along with Isle listen, from a very warm and welcoming therapy suite at Skanco Court, Cooil Road, Douglas and their Community Suite at The Old School House in Cronkbourne.

The team understand that some people may feel nervous when seeking therapy and have worked extremely hard to make sure that any visit to its therapy suites, will be a positive experience that they will be happy to engage with.

MCH Psychological Services is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Minds Matter adheres strictly to its ethical framework. As an organisation, they follow and frequently surpass National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines around supervision for their therapists and counsellors.
