Telford Mind in short
Telford Mind is an independent charity affiliated to national Mind, supporting people with mental health difficulties across Telford and Wrekin. Our view is that the community model is the point of difference: recovery work, one-to-one drop-in support and outreach rather than private one-to-one therapy, backed by the federation's Mind Quality Mark for recent years.
Services cover recovery work, one-to-one drop-in support and outreach across Telford and Wrekin. The charity sits on the Charity Commission register, and the company record shows an active charitable incorporated organisation. Contact runs through the charity's website and listings page, with the charity's phone number on the Google listing.
Customers are divided on Telford Mind, at 3.3 from six Google reviews, the weakest customer record in this round, and Google is the only public review source on record. This review reads that score as a genuine caution, whatever the pressures on a charity service. Six ratings still leave most of the charity's day-to-day work unrecorded in public. No session charges are published; the site sets out donation routes instead.
What counts against the charity, in our judgement, is that review record together with overdue reporting on the public charity register. It reads as a different kind of offer from the ranked private practices: community support at charity scale, not a therapy room booked by the session. It suits anyone seeking charity-run mental health support in Telford and Wrekin rather than private therapy, with federation quality marking behind it.
Our verdict

Questions about Telford Mind
Is Telford Mind any good?
Our judgement: mixed. It sits outside our September top ten, with federation quality marking and a broad community offer, but 3.3 from six Google reviews and overdue charity reporting on the public register [2] [3]. Visit the service, read recent reviews, then decide whether it fits. That mix suits someone seeking community support rather than private therapy, provided the review record does not put them off.
Is Telford Mind on a professional register?
It is a registered charity holding the Mind Quality Mark for recent years, the federation's quality assurance standard, rather than a therapy-register listing [1] [3]. Ask which qualified staff or volunteers deliver each service and what supervision they receive, plus how the charity handles complaints. That distinction matters because charity quality marking and therapy registration test different things, so direct your questions to the service you will actually use.
How much does Telford Mind charge?
No session charges are published; the site sets out donation routes instead, which fits its charity model [1]. Ask what, if anything, each service costs and whether donations are expected before you attend, and ask whether any service has a waiting list. Put that question to the charity before you travel, since opening hours and waiting times vary by service.
Where does Telford Mind work?
Across Telford and Wrekin, with recovery services, one-to-one drop-in support and outreach [1] [3]. Contact runs through the charity's website and listings page. The listed address is the Court Street Medical Practice in Madeley, but services run across the patch, so confirm where your service meets. Check which site each service runs from before travelling, and ask about current waiting times and opening hours.
How is Telford Mind ranked?
It was researched for our September round but sits outside the top ten psychotherapists, assessed as charity-based mental health support across Telford [1] [2]. The gap is the weakest review record in the round alongside overdue charity reporting on the public register. If you run the charity, use the Claim a listing route to send updated detail for the next round.
How do I get a quote from Telford Mind?
Start on the charity's website, which sets out donation routes rather than session charges, or use the phone number on the Google listing [1] [2]. Ask what, if anything, each service costs and whether donations are expected, plus current waiting times. Keep the reply for your records, and compare it against one private quote if you are choosing between charity support and paid therapy.
What do Telford Mind's reviews say?
Customers are divided, at 3.3 from six Google reviews, the weakest customer record in this round, and Google is the only public review source on record [2]. This review reads that score as a genuine caution. Read the recent reviews yourself before visiting, and treat what you see on the day as the deciding factor.
How does Telford Mind compare with the ranked firms?
The ranked firms sell private one-to-one therapy by the session, while Telford Mind offers charity-run community support: recovery work, drop-in sessions and outreach. That makes it a complement to the table rather than an alternative: consider it alongside the ranked rooms if you want community backing rather than a private therapy room, and judge it on the service you will actually use.
