Certificates and letters
What you receive, and what it shows
Certificates and letters are included in the fee.
Certificates
Courses and group programmes give a numbered certificate that an employer can check with us. A certificate of completion needs at least 80% attendance; shorter programmes give a certificate of attendance. It shows what you took part in, never anything about your health. It is not a professional qualification or licence.
Private letters
Counselling and therapy do not come with certificates, to protect your privacy. We write a private letter, such as proof of attendance, only when you ask in writing.
Work, travel or visa letters
These are issued only after a Psychological Assessment. Our Clinical Lead signs them, and they say only what the assessment found.

Reach out
Call, WhatsApp, email or use the form below. Tell us a little about what is going on.
- 02

Assessment and plan
A clinician gets to know you or your child and shares a clear plan of support.

Regular sessions, with progress reviewed together and referral to partners when needed.
What to expect in your first session

- You leave with a clear idea of the next step.

Your safety and privacy
Confidentiality and safeguarding
What you share stays private
Your sessions and records are confidential and stored securely. We only share information with your permission, or if someone is at serious risk of harm, and we will explain this to you at the start.
Keeping children and adults safe
Everyone who works with us is trained in safeguarding. If we are worried about a child's or adult's safety, we follow a clear process and work with the right authorities to protect them.
What we do not offer
Healing Minds is not a hospital or an emergency service.
- Hospital admission or overnight stays
- Prescribing medication
- Detox or residential care
- Emergency response
When these are needed, we refer you to partner hospitals and services and keep supporting you.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. You can contact us directly. Schools, doctors and other organisations can also refer someone to us with their consent.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, many sessions can take place online by video call. Some assessments need to happen in person at our centre.
Which languages do you work in?
English and Luganda. Please ask us about other languages. To confirm
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Evening and Saturday sessions are available for some courses and groups.
How long will I wait for a first appointment?
We aim to offer a first conversation within a few days. If you are in danger, please call emergency services straight away.
Is everything I say kept private?
Yes. What you share stays between you and your clinician, except where someone is at serious risk of harm. We will always explain this first.
Can I come with my child or partner?
Yes. We work with individuals, couples and families, and we will talk with you about who should join each session.
