Mindhaven
Coming soon

A gentler way to start counselling, with the right person for you.

Mindhaven is a private UK mental-health platform built around one quiet idea: that the counsellor matters as much as the method. Browse a directory of qualified counsellors, pick the one whose approach feels right, and use the platform between sessions for journalling, breathing, and gentle structure.

What is Mindhaven?

One quiet place for the work between sessions.

A counsellor sees you for 50 minutes a week, maybe. The other 167 hours, you’re on your own. Mindhaven is the gentle toolkit for that time — alongside the counsellor of your choice.

When the multi-counsellor version of Mindhaven launches, you’ll pick your counsellor at intake from a small, qualified directory, read about how they work, and book directly. Everything you write stays between the two of you, end-to-end.

What we do

Three quiet pillars.

Nothing flashy. Nothing performative. Just the things that actually help, made gentle and accessible.

Journal in private

A daily prompt and a mood scale. Soft enough for small days, deep enough for hard ones.

Breathe with intention

Guided 4-4-6-2 breathing, visualised. Reach for it when the day tightens.

Talk to a real counsellor

When journals and breath are not enough, your counsellor is one tap away — secure messages plus in-app video.

Find the right fit

Choose the counsellor who feels right — not just the next available slot.

The hardest part of starting therapy is finding someone who gets you. We make that part smaller.

A small, qualified directory. Every counsellor on Mindhaven is BACP / UKCP / BABCP registered. No marketplace clutter.
Pick at intake. Read their bio, see how they work, and choose — before paying anything.
Strict patient–counsellor confidentiality. Counsellors only see the patients who chose them. Your data never crosses to another practitioner.
Switch if it’s not working. A bad fit is no one’s fault. Move on with no awkwardness.
Get early access

Be the first to know when we open.

We’re onboarding counsellors and quietly polishing the platform. Leave your email and we’ll write only once: when you can sign up.

We store your email to notify you at launch — nothing else. No marketing list, no third-party sharing. You can ask us to remove it at any time at privacy@mindhavenmindhealth.co.uk.

Built carefully

Quiet on the outside. Serious about the inside.

We treat clinical data with the same care a regulated practice would — even before regulators ask.

UK-built, UK-hosted

Servers and backups stay inside the UK. GDPR is the baseline, not an after-thought.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

TLS 1.2+ on every connection, AES-256 on every byte stored. No exceptions.

No data resale

Mindhaven’s revenue comes from counsellors’ subscriptions and session fees. Never from your data.

You can delete it all

Right of erasure baked in. One button, and your journal, messages, and assessments are gone.
