About Us

Mind Garden Therapy Ltd was established in 2010 by Angela Atack & Ann-Marie James.  Mind Garden emerged in response to local need for a therapy centre specifically designed for the unique needs of counselling, psychotherapy & psychology professionals.  In the years since, Mind Garden has grown to be home for 30 professionals offering around 500 sessions per month of talk therapy and related services.

The centre also hosts a range of workshops on stress, trauma, breathwork, meditation and much more.

How we work

Mind Garden is owned and directed by two psychotherapists with over 40 years’ combined clinical experience.  This ensures that the therapeutic needs of our clients are always at the centre of what we do.

All Mind Garden therapists are fully qualified, registered with a relevant professional body and adhere to a code of ethical practice. All therapists must meet minimum requirements to apply to the centre and be specifically trained in all therapy modalities offered.
