Many people believe therapy is only helpful during a crisis, but that isn’t always the case!
Therapy can support you in many ways, such as:
🌱 Creating space for growth and change
🌱 Gaining clarity about thoughts and feelings
🌱 Building healthier coping strategies
🌱 Processing past experiences safely
🌱 Improving relationships and communication
🌱 Strengthening self-esteem and self compassion
Therapy isn’t just about “fixing” something; it’s about building tools, insights, and support that can benefit anyone, at any stage of life.
If you’re curious about how therapy could support you, we’re here to help 🩵
Just like the ocean, our minds move in rhythms.. sometimes steady, sometimes stormy.
Practices that are mindful ⛰️, delicate 🌸, and slow 🌊 invite us to notice those rhythms with greater awareness and care.
When we give ourselves permission to move more slowly, we create room for reflection, self-compassion, and steadiness. It’s not about avoiding life’s challenges, but about meeting them with clarity and balance.
Small pauses can become anchors, reminding us that tending to our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

Known for her warm nature and practical approach, Dr Olga draws on a range of evidence-based therapies to support each person’s unique needs, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT); exploring the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
CBT provides practical tools to:
✔ Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns
✔ Build healthier coping strategies
✔ Respond to challenges with more balance and choice
It’s not just about “thinking positive” 🚫, it’s about learning new ways to navigate life with awareness and resilience.

It can be exhausting to carry the weight of “holding it together” when inside, it feels like so much more.
Maybe it's a smile.
Maybe it's a brave face.
Maybe it's the quiet “I’m fine”.
Sometimes these are just ways of getting through the day.
But you don’t have to keep carrying it all in silence, or alone 🩵
At WellMind Collective, we’re here to provide a safe, compassionate space to explore what you’re going through.

Did you know serotonin is often called the “feel good” chemical? 🧠✨
It’s a natural mood stabiliser that plays a big role in how we sleep, how calm we feel, and even how we connect with others.
Simple everyday habits can help support serotonin, like:
🌞 Spending time in the sun
🫀 Doing some cardio
🪷 Meditating
🚶🏼 Going for a walk
Why does serotonin matter for your mental health? Swipe across to find out!
Your mental health is supported by both the big and small things you do daily, and serotonin is one of the key players in keeping that balance 🔑

Trauma can come in many shapes and forms, and the way we experience it can be very different from person to person.
It might look like:
🔐 Trouble feeling safe, even in familiar places
👩🏼❤️👨🏽 Finding it hard to trust others
🚫 Difficulty switching off or relaxing
🔔 Feeling “on alert” much of the time
Understanding these signs isn’t about labelling yourself, but recognising that your feelings and experiences are valid.
If any of this feels familiar, know you don’t have to navigate it alone.

It can be so easy to push through, ignore what we’re feeling, and only notice we’re burnt out once we’ve reached our limit.
Here are 5 ways to be kinder to your mind:
🔹 The way we speak to ourselves matters. What if you approached your thoughts with curiosity instead of criticism?
🔹 Notice when your mind or body is asking for rest, and give yourself permission to take it
🔹 Allowing emotions to come and go can help them feel less overwhelming over time
🔹 Remind yourself about what matters to you and keeping this close can help you feel more grounded
🔹 Celebrate the small wins; the everyday moments of progress matter too
What’s one way you can be kind to your mind today?

What image makes you feel calm? 📸
Sometimes, when life feels overwhelming, finding something that grounds you (even for a few moments) can make a difference.
It could be watching gentle ripples in water.
A clean and quiet space for you to simply be.
Or looking at something that reminds you to slow down.
In those moments, we give our minds a chance to breathe, and knowing what soothes you can help you feel steadier when life feels uncertain.

We’re constantly growing, learning, and evolving 🌱 even if it doesn’t always feel that way!
What once brought you comfort may not feel the same now, and that doesn’t mean you’ve lost your way. It might mean you’re listening more closely to yourself.
It’s okay if your version of peace looks different today than it did a year ago, or even last week.
Change isn’t something to resist; it’s often what helps us uncover what we truly need to feel grounded, safe, and well.

Ever feel like your feelings are being dismissed, you’re questioning your reality, or you walk away from a conversation feeling more confused than before?
These may be signs of gaslighting.
Gaslighting isn’t always loud, and sometimes it shows up in subtle, repeated moments that leave you doubting yourself.

Life is rarely without its challenges. There are some that can be so overwhelming that it seems impossible to move on. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, overwhelming feelings of anxiety or anything else causing you distress in your day-to-day life, it’s important you know that help is available for every problem life throws your way.
We all have a bit of a negative voice in our head from time to time. But if your negative self-talk is stopping you from doing what you want or need to do in your life then it’s not helping you and it has to go.
Your recurring problems will directly be related to your self-talk, beliefs and values. If you or a loved one are experiencing consistent problems or are just sick of the negative chatter, please fell welcome to get in touch.
Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day. Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. What you consistently do ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray.
The problem is not the old ideas or habits, the problem is that we hold onto the belief that these old ways and attachments are holding life together and are the only way.
But what if… really think about it… what if there is another way, what if things could be different, what if you could do things differently, what if you could be happier?
We can teach you strategies and we can support you to work through the transition from your old ways to new ways.
