Thurrock and Brentwood Mind is a charity supporting people in the local area who are experiencing, or at risk of developing, mental health problems. Our services include a variety of wellbeing groups which individuals can self-refer to. We also have a number of services that require a referral through a GP or other health professional.

For individuals who feel their mental health has reached crisis point they should call NHS 111 option 2. We have crisis services available that will be offered via this service for those that need this level of support.

We work closely with local NHS services and other local agencies to reduce duplication and ensure services are joined up/aligned with those available from other organisations.

We take a personalised care and support approach, placing the service user at the centre of decision-making and their recovery.   Having conversations about "What Matters to You" and listening to what will make a difference and planning together how to achieve it.

Private counselling service is available for individuals and couples.
