About Bristol Mind
At Bristol Mind, we are passionate about promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing for everyone in our community. As a trusted local mental health charity, we have been supporting the people of Bristol and surrounding areas for many years through a variety of accessible, inclusive, and compassionate services. Our aim is to ensure that no one faces a mental health challenge alone.
We believe mental health support should be available to everyone, regardless of background, circumstance or ability to pay. Our dedicated team of trained staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide a safe, welcoming space where individuals can talk openly and find the support they need.
Our Services
Community Wellbeing Services
Our Community Wellbeing Services are designed to provide ongoing support for individuals who are facing mental health difficulties. We offer group activities, one-to-one wellbeing support, workshops and courses—all intended to help build confidence, reduce isolation and improve quality of life. These services are open to anyone and focus on recovery, resilience, and empowerment.
Counselling
Bristol Mind Counselling offers a confidential, low-cost counselling service for adults who are experiencing emotional distress. Our counsellors are either fully qualified or in the final stages of their training, working under professional supervision. We offer both short and long-term counselling to suit your individual needs. Sessions are available face-to-face, by phone or online to ensure accessibility and flexibility.
Information Telephone Service
Our Information Telephone Service is available for those seeking guidance about mental health services, local support organisations, or general mental health advice. Whether you’re unsure where to start or need help navigating the available options, our friendly team is here to listen and signpost you to the most appropriate resources.
MindLine Telephone Support
MindLine is our confidential emotional support and mental health helpline, run by trained volunteers. It is open to anyone who is struggling with their thoughts, feelings, or general wellbeing. MindLine provides a safe and non-judgemental space to talk and be heard. Sometimes, just speaking to someone who understands can make all the difference.
Additional Information
Bristol Mind is affiliated with the national Mind network but operates independently to serve our local community. This means that every donation and every volunteer hour directly supports people in Bristol. We continually strive to break the stigma around mental health by promoting awareness, education, and compassionate care.
If you or someone you know needs mental health support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. At Bristol Mind, we are here to listen, support, and walk alongside you—every step of the way.
