About us
Mental Central aims to provide a central hub where you can find a range of resources to support your mental and emotional well-being. The content has been chosen by Clare, a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, who wants to give you clear, concise information which you can use to identify issues and how to help yourself. Clare has brought together some of the best tools from a variety therapeutic approaches that therapists use with clients. Alongside Clare is Audrey who has supported the work here. Clare and Audrey are two mums, who met at IICP college in 2017 in their 40's. A variety life circumstances brought them to the decision to retrain as psychotherapists. Since then they have worked with a variety of clients in a variety of settings. They know that although going to therapy is very helpful to people, they are also aware that a lot of what helps is what people do in between sessions. And, if people have access to good quality resources, they have something they can use to help themselves. We don't all have the luxury of time or money to spend on regular counselling and psychotherapy sessions, therefore, we hope, that what you find here will give you some support, guidance and tools to help you make some movement towards the life you want. Remember, change doesn't happen over night, its in the little things we choose to do everyday that makes the difference, good luck!!

Our Mission:
At Mental Central, we're here for you. We know that accessing professional therapy isn't always possible, so we have provided a variety of mental health supports in one location, to make it as accessible as possible for as many of you as possible. Through sharing these helpful resources, we aim to create a supportive space where you can fill your toolbox and gain a sense of empowerment and hope that change is possible.
Our Vision:
At Mental Central we envision a world where everyone has the support they need to thrive mentally and emotionally, regardless of their access to professional therapy. By creating a central location and providing valuable resources, we aim to empower individuals to take charge of their mental health, build resilience, and live fulfilling lives filled with hope and understanding.
Our Values:
At Mental Central we know that living in alignment with your personal values is vital for a life well lived. We see these five values as essential:
Accessibility: Mental Health support should be for everyone, no exceptions.
Clarity: Mental‑health information should never feel overwhelming. We translate complex therapeutic ideas into simple, usable guidance that makes sense in everyday life.
Hope: We inspire you to see the possibilities for a brighter future.
Empowerment: People thrive when they have tools that help them help themselves. We focus on practical, evidence‑informed supports that build confidence and autonomy.
Growth: Change doesn't happen overnight. We honour the small steps, the setbacks, and the courage it takes to keep going. Progress is built in the everyday moments.
