Reflecting on Mental Health Month 🧠🍃

Mental health awareness is important every month, but having a dedicated month allows us to open conversations, increase awareness, and reduce stigma around mental health challenges 🍃🩵

🤍 Mental health is a core part of overall wellbeing, not an add-on or an afterthought.
🤍 Struggles are experiences, not identifies. People are more than what they're going through.
🤍 Emotional responses are signals, not character flaws.
🤍 Seeking help is an active step towards change, not a failure.

We have psychologists available to assist with mental health difficulties across the lifespan. Referrals and further information can be found by

Understanding Child Behaviour ✨🪴

When difficult behaviours arise, it can be helpful to reflect on what the function of the behaviour might be or what the child's needs may be. Understanding this can lead to a better understanding of behaviours and can help us respond to the child's needs 🍂✨

When thinking about child behaviour, it can be helpful to think about what might be lying beneath the surface of difficult behaviours, a bit like an iceberg 🪴🧊

If you need further support with understanding your child's behaviours, we have psychologists who can help. You can get in contact with us by:

Some reminders for going back to school 💖🍂

✏️ routines can rebuild slowly, it's okay if it takes some time
✏️ brains need breaks too, it's okay if it's taking young people a little while to get back into the swing of learning
✏️ big feelings about going back to school are okay
✏️ drop offs might have plot twists
✏️ sleep doesn't auto-correct, it takes time
✏️ little wins count and it's important to celebrate them

We have psychologists available who have experience supporting with these difficulties. You can get in contact with us by,

Let's chat about attachment theory ✨🍃

Attachment theory explains how the bond we form with early caregivers influences emotion regulation, trust, and the way we build relationships throughout our lives 🩵

There are a few different attachment types:
✨ Secure attachment: develops from consistent, responsive caregiving. Builds trust, resilience, and closeness in adult relationships.
✨ Anxious attachment: develops from inconsistent caregiving. Can lead to heightened anxiety, fear of rejection, and reassurance‑seeking.
✨ Avoidant attachment: arises when caregivers are emotionally unavailable or dismissive. Encourages self‑reliance, emotional suppression, and withdrawal from closeness.
✨ Disorganised attachment: often rooted in trauma, where caregivers are both a source of comfort and fear. Can create confusion, unpredictability, and unstable relational patterns.

Attachment theory underpins a lot of the work we do as psychologists.
For children, attachment theory can help with:
🍃 understanding a child's attachment needs
🍃 assisting caregivers to build secure attachment with their young people
🍃 building secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship

For adults, attachment theory can help with:
🍃 increasing understanding of childhood attachment
🍃 assisting clients to build stable attachments in adulthood
🍃 helping clients understand how their attachment needs may be impacting their relationships

We have psychologists on our team who have availability to support you and your family. Please get in contact with us if you would like to hear more about our service.

Let's chat about depression and low mood ✨🩵

Depression and low mood don't usually come from one cause, it's usually due to a mix of things including;
🩵 a person's biology
🩵 stress
🩵 thinking patterns
🩵 environment
🩵 physical health
🩵 other mental health difficulties such as anxiety

Some warning signs you may be experiencing depression or low mood
✨ feeling tired despite adequate sleep
✨ everyday tasks are unusually hard
✨ social withdrawal
✨ loosing interest in previously enjoyed hobbies and interests
✨ feeling irritable flat, or "emotionally numb"
✨ changes in appetite

Depression and low mood impact individual across the lifespan and can have a significant impact on daily life and functioning 🌧️

Psychological therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be helpful in reducing the impact that depression and low mood have on daily life 🍃

Our psychologists have experience supporting individuals experiencing depression and low mood
