About Us

At Rareminds we believe that everyone impacted by rare conditions (affected individuals, their carers and/or family members) can benefit from and, if needed, should have access to a trained, qualified specialist rare condition counsellor with an understanding of their specific rare condition. 

To achieve this we aim to provide affordable, timely access to highly specialised counselling. We also advocate for recognition of the importance of specialist mental health support by informing policy, practice and promoting standards of excellence.
