Congratulations Chris on reaching your 100 placement hours today 👏 🙌

This hasn’t just been about completing hours. It’s been about your presence, your willingness to learn, and the way you sit alongside people with genuine care. You bring a calmness and steadiness that allows others to feel safe, and that is something that can’t be taught, it comes from within you.

The journey to becoming a counsellor asks a lot. It asks you to reflect, to grow, to stay with discomfort, and to keep turning up even when you doubt yourself. You’ve done that. Quietly, consistently, and with integrity.

Every one of those 100 hours holds moments where someone felt heard because of you. Moments where you leaned into the work, even when it stretched you. That says so much about the kind of practitioner you are becoming.

We’re really proud of you, Chris. Thank you for everything youve done and do for Stable Minds. 🩵

We're still taking this in a little bit this morning.

Last night, Stable Minds was named runner-up for the High Sheriff Outstanding Community Impact Award 2026… and it’s hard to put into words what that actually means.
Because this never started as something big.

It started with sitting with people. Hearing what they were going through and knowing it shouldn’t be this hard to get support. Knowing people deserved somewhere they could just walk into and be met properly.

So that’s what we built.

No waiting lists. No referrals. No barriers. Just a space where people can come as they are.

And now here we are… with over 3,000 people who have trusted us with their stories.

That’s what this is about.

Not the room last night, not the certificate… but every single person who’s walked through our doors, every conversation, every moment where someone felt even just a tiny bit less alone.

I’m so proud of our team. Honestly, the way they show up every day for there clients and community os what its all about.

And I’m so grateful to our community for trusting us, shaping this with us, and growing alongside us.
This means a lot. It really does.

And we’re only just getting started

Best Community Mental Health Support Organisation 2026

Some lovely feedback to receive this week.

Stable Minds CIC has been awarded Best Community Mental Health Support Organisation 2026 – North West England in the SME Awards. What meant the most was the feedback from the panel recognising our commitment to community mental health and the way we design support around the individual.

From the very beginning the idea was simple. People should not have to squeeze themselves into a rigid system to access support. Instead the system should adapt around the person.

Mental health is not one size fits all. Different people need different approaches, different environments and different ways of being supported. That has always been at the heart of Stable Minds.

Thank you to SME News for this award. It truely means alot.

We know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. At Stable Minds, we believe that everyone should be able to access help when they need it.

We offer low cost counselling sessions starting from £20 with our final year placement counsellors, who work under professional supervision within our trauma informed service.
Steven currently has a limited number of spaces available.
