About

"Over the years I have been treating patients with mental health problems using conventional methods. I have never been satisfied with the outcomes. When you see your patient get better and function in the real world, it gladdens your heart.

When you see them relapse, you don’t only feel like you’ve failed them, but there is always that nagging feeling that you could have done more.

For the past 22 years, my husband (a pioneering artist and Christian Minister) and I have used a Christian based intervention, with a lot of emphasis on the relationship between the basics of neuroscience and scripture in teaching and empowering our private clients with very favourable outcomes.

The body of work that we developed over the years gave us the inspiration to refer to our intervention as the G.Y.M. (Guard Your Mind) ‘a Christian cognitive approach to managing the mind'.

For those who may cringe at the idea of merging science and scripture together, we would like to assure you that using this form of complementary intervention to develop a healthy thought life is compatible with the main stream Christian ethos as laid out in the Bible.

The G.Y.M. (Guard Your Mind), shows how the physiological effects of toxic thoughts cause stress to brain cells. Participation is of course a choice made by individual clients."

The Mind Cafe in Amhurst Terrace East London, is the first in a series of similar day centres we intend to open in different parts of London, and the rest of the UK. It is an atmospheric and therapeutic space adorned with inspiring artworks. Feel free to pop in and stimulate your mind with some of our mind mangement tools. We all need a sound mind.
