Mental Health and Current Times

During these difficult times it is even more vital to take care of our mental health. You may be feeling sadness; anxiety; loneliness; stress; worry; fear; frustration; grief. Whatever feelings you have are totally understandable.  It can also be particularly difficult if you are already struggling with mental health. 

Try to   

• Keep a regular routine (Try to get up and go to bed at a regular time each day. Also try to eat at  regular times).
• Find things that you can still enjoy; receive pleasure from. It may be something in the here and now or a nice memory that you have. 
• Be kind to yourself. Take things step by step.    
• Keep connected and talk about your worries. With friends/family or through helplines; Samaritans 116 123 Mind 0300 1233393. It is essential to get the support that you need. 
• Look after your body (Eat as healthily as you can. Avoid using alcohol to manage feelings. Try to Exercise as regularly as you feel able.  
• Use reputable sources for information.
• Try to avoid scrolling through or listening to too much news if you are aware that it has an impact on your mental health. Read and listen on a need to know basis. 
• Try to focus on the things you can change rather than worrying about the things you (and most people) can't.

I have particular expertise in working with trauma. Please don't hesitate to contact me about having sessions to help with any difficulty that you may be having related to current times and of course you are also welcome to contact me to enquire about having therapy in regard to anything else too. 

I am offering online therapy only currently and will be for the foreseeable future.

I can offer a variety of different options tailored to your individual needs. All of the modalities that I offer work very well online.      

I have over 25 years of experience as a psychological therapist, and I am able to offer a range of therapeutic modalities.

Seeking psychological therapy can be a daunting and anxiety provoking process. However please be reassured that you are not alone. Statistics show that 1 in 4 people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year (http//www.mentalhealth.org.uk/help-information); and the World Health Organization predicted in 2009 that within 20 years more people will be affected by depression than any other health problem.

It may be that you don't have a specific mental health problem as such, but are suffering with an overall feeling or sense of dissatisfaction or loss of direction or purpose. It may be that you would like to use psychological therapy for the purposes of self development/exploration. It may also be that it is a requirement of your own therapy training to have psychological therapy.

Whatever the reason for your enquiry into psychological therapies, I have endeavoured to give you as much information as I can through my website about what I am able to offer.  However; please do not hesitate to e mail me to find out more, or to have a no obligation informal chat about whether I might be able to help.
