Services Offered
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Service
Our Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) service provides short term therapeutic-based interventions for residents of Huntingdonshire and Fenland who are going through difficult times, including up to six sessions of one-to-one low intensity CBT and guided self-help. Our Wellbeing Workers can also refer individuals on to employment support, counselling services or high intensity therapists as appropriate.
CBT is a Department of Health project designed to make evidence-based psychological therapies more accessible to people living with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety disorders.
Counselling
CPSL Mind offers a fully funded counselling service which provides time-limited one to one counselling with a trained counsellor from various locations across Cambridgeshire.
Counselling can be helpful in clarifying the problems and challenges which all of us face at some time in our lives. It can help us to gain fresh perspectives and, in turn, make positive changes in our lives which can ultimately have a profound impact on our emotional wellbeing.
Your counsellor will: - Listen non-judgementally - Enable you to express your feelings - Help you to explore and understand your difficulties - Help you to find new ways of managing the challenges you face
Counselling is not about making judgements. It is a specific arrangement between the client and counsellor, and it is confidential in all but exceptional circumstances.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
