We are a not-for-profit counselling service based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire
WE ARE FUNDED BY BIG LOTTERY FUND UNTIL 2014 AND BY HLC UNTIL SEPT 2010
We provide subsidised counselling, hypnotherapy, remedial massage and personal
development workshops to adults and children aged 8 and over
We have:
* male and female counsellors available
* ground floor counselling rooms
* appointments are available both inside and outside of work and school time
please visit our sister sites at
www.openmindsdoncaster.com and www.openmindscounseling.com
We set out to 'fill the cracks of care' locally:
To make sure that people in distress who cannot afford private counselling but do not fit others organisation's criteria have a source of professional therapeutic support
We are not here to duplicate the work of private counsellors but to complement their work and that of other counselling organisations.
We work with those people who do not fit into the other organisations' criteria and who cannot afford private counselling
In order to sustain ourselves when our funding ends we charge for our services, depending on what you can afford. Hence our prices normally start at £5 a session but if you can afford more, for example £10 a session we ask that you give this so that we can continue to provide our wonderful service to others

it's the difference between talking and not talking, the difference between life or death,
between turning your life around and moving forward or staying in the abyss,
someone at Open Minds could be just for them
and all of a sudden they can see the sun shining just for them
a great team make Open Minds a nice warm, friendly environment -
keep up the good work!
if it wasn't for Open Minds, with your caring and kindness,
I nearly don't know where I would be today. Please keep up all the wonderful work
I didn't speak to my parents or friends about my problem
in as much detail as with my counsellor...I thought it was perfect
a massive thank you to all at Open Minds.
I know where I've been and thanks to you all I'm back
Your first step
Simply ring us on 01302 344192 or 07765 224564 for details about how to arrange an initial meeting.
What next
An initial meeting will give you an opportunity to ask questions and to begin to talk about your problems and concerns.
If counselling could be of help, weekly sessions can be arranged.
Then
You will see the same counsellor every session unless you request someone else.
Each session lasts 50 minutes.
Day-time and evening and weekend appointments are available.
You can end your counselling at any time but the sooner you start it the more likely it is to be of help.
