The mental health solutions company proving that supporting employees starts by practising what you preach

MindBerry helps employees grow into happier, more resilient individuals through mental health professionals and wellness coaches who provide wellbeing and resilience solutions for modern challenges. Through wellness coaching, specialised mental health programmes, online therapy, and counselling, they've proven that investing in mental health creates measurably better outcomes whilst improving productivity and employee retention.

​

Founded by Sandra de Monte in 2016, MindBerry grew from her experiences as a UK qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and certified Online Counsellor. Working as a Student Counsellor for the Royal College of Art in London for many years, Sandra's experiences supporting large companies and their employees on mental wellbeing journeys helped transform MindBerry into what it is today: a company where wellbeing, purpose, and performance actually work together.

​

MindBerry's mission sounds simple but it's ambitious: creating workplaces where people feel genuinely supported in doing meaningful work. As a company specialising in mental health solutions, wellbeing isn't something they do on the side. It's fundamental to who they are, reflected in everything from leadership decisions to daily collaboration. Investing in bringing international teams together in person creates moments that matter, reminding everyone there's a real human being behind every screen.

​

These gatherings strengthen trust and build the belonging that fuels great work. Rather than chasing some perfect "culture fit," they're shaping culture that grows with their people, where different perspectives get encouraged and everyone actually feels heard. The impact shows up for clients too, with measurable results when businesses use their full range of services.

Behind this mission to transform workplace wellbeing lies a culture that recently earned MindBerry recognition in the Maya Culture Awards, ranking them among over 20,000 surveyed employees as one of the UK's most loved companies to work for. Reviewed through anonymous employee sentiment analysis and in-depth assessment of current and future employee initiatives, they've built something real: environments where team members feel energised and connected to their purpose, their growth, and each other through structures that genuinely support mental health and open communication.

​

"We want every member of our team to feel energised, listened to, supported, and connected." This drives how they create spaces where people know their wellbeing matters and their work counts for something. Flexible working practices and mental health days combine with regular check-ins that invite actual conversations, not just status updates. Connection isn't just buzzword territory at MindBerry. Regular international offsites let teams step away from screens, strengthen real relationships, and come back recharged.

​

Growth happens through coaching, development budgets, and opportunities to stretch into new territory whilst people learn and experiment without fearing failure. They listen properly through anonymous culture surveys, open forums, and transparent feedback that helps them understand how people actually feel and where they can improve. Culture evolves with every voice that shapes it rather than staying stuck in place.

​

People who thrive at MindBerry care deeply about their work but equally about how they approach it, bringing empathy and genuine concern for wellbeing to everything they do. They attract people who see work as somewhere to grow and connect, not just produce output. Recruitment reflects this through looking for emotional intelligence and values alignment alongside technical capability.

When people join, they discover that mental health support isn't just what MindBerry sells but how they operate. Flexible hours combine with international retreats where colleagues actually meet face to face and build proper relationships. Rather than wanting people to squeeze into predetermined moulds, they look for those who add something new, challenge thinking, and help everyone grow together.

​

Their approach to supporting wellbeing flows naturally into how they serve clients. When mental health companies genuinely practise what they recommend, that authenticity comes through in every client interaction. This alignment between mission and internal reality creates credibility that enables more effective support for organisations working to improve employee mental health.

​

MindBerry's recognition in the Maya Culture Awards proves what happens when wellbeing companies embody the principles they advocate. By creating international connections that remind everyone about the humans behind screens whilst building genuine support structures, they've demonstrated that purpose-driven organisations investing properly in team wellbeing create workplaces people actually recommend to friends and family. That's the kind of impact that transforms not just individual companies but sets new standards for what mental health solutions providers can achieve when they start by getting their own house in order.
