What is Mind Store?

Posted 25th Jul 2024 · Blog


Talking Therapies

Many people are unsure what to expect from counselling or therapy and may hesitate to come along. It maybe that there are life stressors or situations that you find difficult to deal with. We offer person centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on relationships between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is designed to help people who are troubled by persistent negative emotions. It can help people identify their negative thoughts and also behaviours which may be keeping you in unhelpful patterns. The therapist will help you change these patterns and develop more helpful thoughts, beliefs and behaviours.

Person centred Counselling focuses on the quality of the relationship with your counsellor. They will help you understand how you interact with the world and to develop your self-awareness. The sessions are directed by you rather than the counsellor.

EMDR The mind can often heal itself naturally, in the same way as the body does. Much of this natural coping mechanism occurs during sleep, particularly during rapid eye movement (Rem) sleep. Franchie Shapiro developed Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1987, utilising this natural process in order to successfully treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Since then, EMDR has been used effectively to treat a wide range of mental health problems.

Trustees

Do you want to be part of a growing organisation which aims to improve the wellbeing and mental health of adults aged 16+ in the Aberdeen area?

Our aims are to promote the provision of cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling and EMDR services, to develop the links between nutrition and mental and physical wellbeing and to promote opportunities for learning about food and its links to a healthy lifestyle. We currently offer therapy sessions, growing for wellbeing groups, group cooking sessions and group therapy.

Mind Store is a SCIO and obtained charitable status in 2022. Since its inception in 2019 we have supported an extensive number of people improve their wellbeing and mental health.

We are looking for trustees to help guide and help to shape the organisation as it moves forward.

Chairperson: Our former chair recently stood down and we were sorry to lose her extensive knowledge and experience she brought to the role. We would like to attract someone with experience in any of these areas: mental health, nutrition, governance.

Trustees: We would also be interested in strengthening our board of trustees and we are looking for individuals who have skills in fundraising, marketing, and business development. We are keen to attract anyone with third sector experience or with an interest in gaining experience within the sector.

If you feel that you have the skills to fulfil any of these roles, we would love to hear from you.

Please get in touch with either Jenny, Jayne or Sophie either by email: mindstore@cfine.org or 07907 473894
