Moving Minds is a niche provider of psychological services for the legal, insurance, public sector and employment markets with 15 years’ experience. We have unrivalled clinical governance and have successfully treated thousands of patients exclusively using evidence-based treatments in a stepped care model. Using only the best clinical practices ensures that our clients get on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.
Market-Leading Clinical Governance
Every aspect of our clinical work, from psychological assessments to treatment is supervised by our clinical team, made up of experienced clinical psychologists and backed up by a host of other medical professionals including, psychiatrists, disability experts and surgeons.
An Unrivalled Clinical Network
Our nationwide clinical network numbers 2,200 psychologists, psychiatrists, CBT therapists and counsellors trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness. Each therapist is rigorously vetted, their work overseen by our clinical team and their clinical outcomes monitored and graded. Our sister company, EMDR Extra, has trained thousands of clinicians.
A History of Innovation
Throughout its 15-year history Moving Minds has set the benchmark in clinical innovation. We introduced psychometric tests to the rehabilitation market, a practice that has now become standard. We were the first provider to offer EMDR and are still the only provider with an EMDR Europe accredited trainer on our clinical team. We published the largest ever academic study of Road Traffic Accident victims with travel anxiety.
Our latest innovation brings the entirety of a patient’s treatment journey online, offering the same levels of treatment efficacy and clinical governance of our face to face products while increasing accessibility and cutting costs.
