Maintained Mind
Protecting your progress & nurturing your brain — restful body-doubling, post-therapy support and neuroplasticity for chronic illness, chronic pain, ME/CFS, Long Covid, AuDHD and ADHD. Learn how to maintain your mental health after therapy ends.

A quiet, members-only sanctuary to nurture your neuroplasticity. We gather in restful ways to keep your hard-won self-management strategies on track, with zero pressure, and self-compassion.

Built for spoonies and neurodivergent brains: flare-up days, brain fog and cameras-off rest are all completely welcome here.

How we meet

A gentle structure to help you maintain your baseline, stay on track, and lift each other up 💜

Restful Body-Doubling (Weekly*)

Short, 30-minute bursts a couple of times a week to come together for parallel rest. Bring your crafts, practise your physio, do a gentle relaxation exercise, or simply take a guilt-free nap alongside others.

Solution-Focused Check-Ins (Fortnightly*)

A deeper group session where we share what's been going well, learn some quick psychoneuroeducation to keep your brain happy, and finish with a guided relaxation.

Maintain between sessions

Use the resource library and toolkits between meetings to stay grounded and keep your self-management strategies on track.

* Live sessions are subject to practitioner availability and exclude scheduled annual leave, bank holidays, and short-notice sickness. All session times are shown in UK time (GMT/BST).

Kim Clayden, founder of Maintained Mind
Meet your guide

Hi, I'm Kim Clayden.

I'm a solution focused psychotherapist & clinical hypnotherapist who has spent years helping people with chronic illness, pain and hypermobility syndromes retrain their brains and build sustainable mental health toolkits. I created Maintained Mind to bridge the gap between finishing therapy and maintaining those strategies alone, through community, neuroscience, and self-compassion.
