Our Story

UniqueMinds was founded by Alison Bean in 2016, following ten years as a Clinical Director for an Essex-based bereavement charity, where she founded and developed the Children’s Bereavement Service in 2009. With over 18 years of therapeutic experience, she has a wealth of knowledge working with complex mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress, depression, self-harm, eating disorders and anxiety, as well as presenting numerous well-being webinars and workshops.

Our Vision

Alison’s vision has always been that emotional health and well-being should be achievable for everyone, and as such has set out to support as many individuals as possible who are struggling with their mental and emotional health. Alongside an incredible team of passionate Counsellors and Psychotherapists at UniqueMinds, we support young people and adults in one-to-one consultations, public organisations, corporate companies and schools, making this vision a reality – across the UK and the rest of the world.

Parsloes Primary School has engaged with Unique Minds for the past year.  The service is first class.  Teachers, Social Workers, and Parents have been very appreciative of the work undertaken by the service. Our counsellor Christine is always willing to discuss as appropriate any concerns she has so that as a school we can support the pupil within the classroom. She has also provided reports, as appropriate,  for Child Protection Conferences. Chairs have noted how valuable the reports are in assessing the needs of the children and formulating plans.

Pupils too, in some of their darkest moments have expressed how the service has helped them.

I can recommend whole heartedly accessing this service. I would welcome a conversation if you wanted to find out more.
