For nearly 40 years, Minds Matter, formerly The Lisa Lowe Centre and Manx Cancer Help, has provided vital specialist psychological support to people of all ages and their families with long-term conditions. We do so through the provision of a range of evidence-based psychological therapies including cognitive therapies and group work.

Our aim is to adopt a collaborative approach and work in partnership with other third sector organisations and local statutory services so as to diversify and widen the approach to the planning and delivery of psychological services on the Isle of Man.  We are funded through a variety of sources including the very generous support of our local community as well as via grants and private trusts.

MCH Psychological Services is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Minds Matter adheres strictly to its ethical framework. As an organisation, we follow and frequently surpass National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines around supervision for our therapists and counsellors.

Our clinical team comprises fully qualified, accredited and highly experienced clinicians including a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists, Person-Centred Counsellors and therapists.

In 2019, MCH Psychological Services launched Isle Listen, which is an early intervention positive mental health charitable initiative that aims to highlight the importance of mental health and its equal importance to physical health. Isle Listen provides a range of vital mental health support services and training in the schools, the workplace and community.
