About Mind Matters Counselling Pontefract

Mind Matters Counselling Pontefract is a warm, family-run counselling practice located in the heart of Pontefract town centre, West Yorkshire. Founded on the values of empathy, integrity, and community, we are passionate about providing client-centred support to individuals navigating life’s emotional challenges.

We understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, which is why we aim to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.

As a local, family-led service, we pride ourselves on offering a personal touch, building genuine therapeutic relationships and tailoring our support to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or simply need a space to talk, we’re here to walk alongside you on your journey to emotional well-being.

We offer in-person sessions from our Pontefract location, as well as online and telephone counselling for those who prefer the flexibility or comfort of remote support.

As members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), we are committed to adhering to the highest ethical standards in our practice. The BACP is a leading professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, ensuring that members are qualified, experienced, and regularly supervised. Being a BACP member means that we are bound by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice, which promotes integrity, confidentiality, and respect for clients' well-being. This membership offers you reassurance that we are committed to ongoing professional development and adhere to the latest therapeutic practices, providing you with the best possible care.
