Book a demo

Sometimes it really is ok not to be ok.

Solas Mind offers an opportunity to talk with a fully qualified psychotherapist or accredited coach in a safe space and the probability is you will leave feeling better than when you arrived.

1:1 wellbeing support can help to reduce psychological distress (e.g. depression, anxiety, chronic stress) and enhance and promote psychological wellbeing. It is a confidential space, free of any judgement where you are able to talk about yourself in a supportive environment.

​​The process is interactive, the aim to enable each unique individual to understand their difficulties, increase their ways of coping and feel better about themselves and others. Solas Mind offers creative support, working directly with  one of our wonderful practitioners who will support you on your journey and help you gain a deeper understanding of your self and your circumstances.

All our counsellors are fully trained and members of a leading Industry Body e.g. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UKCP and all of our coaches are ICF accredited.

Why us?

We work in partnership with you to deliver mental health services that are right for you. We provide an external source of support - an independent, personal service, that is not linked to the company or studio. Thus, individuals are less reticent to seek help if needed.​

The challenges of filming schedules, post Covid-19 anxiety and fear, post-traumatic stress, demanding work schedules, adapting to new working practices, social distancing have had a large impact on mental health:

"Solas Mind have been instrumental in keeping our crew feel safe and supported at work during the Covid 19 pandemic. From support on how to deal with and recognise signs of people struggling with mental health to being a great support for myself with the pressures of working as a Covid production manager. Every production should have a professional mental service like Solas Mind onboard to support crew."
Georgette Turner, Director, Production Safety Boat Rocker Studios
"The pressure on crew to present a strong front that you're OK and not show weakness or flaws is enormous. The pressures of being freelance are wide ranging and often invisible. There is no one who is looking out for individuals not coping so it's important that there is someone external that they can speak to without fear of being exposed. The industry may be open for business and full steam ahead, we are not back to normal. An independent counselling service like the wonderful Solas Mind available on every production and training beforehand would be invaluable to any crew who may be struggling to cope. Any avenue open to the freelancers in Film and TV which gives them professional help from qualified individuals and stops problems becoming something more serious should be embraced and welcomed by all productions and become standard practise"
Harriet Lawrence, Supervising Location Manager
"Solas Mind delivered mental health awareness training for our crew as part of a package of wellbeing support and it was so beneficial. Too many people are still caught up in the stigma of addressing their mental health.Having Solas Mind on call throughout production, offering a professional support service was invaluable. In the current climate we need this now more than ever"
Emma Mallett, Production Manager
"Sarah has an understanding of the industry, she can absolutely understand the issues that trainees and freelancers face and their current potential anxieties. Sarah and her team at Solas Mind have been offering 1-2-1 counselling  to our HETV Trainee Finder trainees, First Break and Make a Move participants for those who have felt that they needed someone to speak to in the COVID-19 pandemic.The sessions have been easy to book and feedback from those who have attended has been positive. Trainees have appreciated that ScreenSkills HETV has ensured that they have had access to this kind of support in this uncertain time and we have really welcomed working with Sarah to provide it."
Nicky Ball - ScreenSkills HETV Senior New Entrant Manager
