The Gap Counselling

After 20 years in a secure medical career, Imke found herself asking the same question many of us quietly carry around:
“Is this really my life… or just the life I once chose?”

Her journey back to herself was inspired by our 8-week programme, Dare To Be You. It’s for people who’ve spent years doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected from who they really are.

If you’re at a crossroads… if you’ve been functioning instead of living… if you know there’s more in you than the world has seen so far… this course is your space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity and courage.

New courses start in February 2026:
• Online for those in the UK
• In-person at The Gap Café

Dare to be you. It might be the right moment to take your next step.

Remembering Our Loved Ones – Sunday 21st December, 11:00 🕯

Christmas can be a difficult time for many, especially if you’ve lost someone you love.

On Sunday, 21st December, there will be a gentle, reflective moment at The Gap - Son Caliu to honour those who are no longer with us.

🕯 Light a candle
☕ Enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee
💛 Take a quiet moment to remember

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re coming alone, with family, or supporting a friend. Sometimes a small moment of togetherness can make all the difference.

✨ Small joys count too.
A quiet morning.
A message from a friend.
A walk in the cold air.
A cup of something warm.

Not every moment needs to be magical, some can simply be gentle.

Here’s to finding little pockets of peace this Christmas period.

We’re grateful to share some lovely feedback from BIC - Baleares International College, Sant Agustí 's latest newsletter following Gary’s Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month talk with students in Years 10–13.

The session focused on helping young people understand what mental health really is, the pressures they face, and how to recognise when something isn’t right.

BIC highlighted how Gary encouraged students to:
• recognise early signs of poor mental health
• speak openly, especially young men who may feel unsure about asking for help
• stay connected, talk honestly, and seek support when needed

These conversations matter.
When young people learn early on that their feelings are valid, that they’re allowed to ask for help, and that they’re not alone, they build stronger foundations for lifelong mental wellbeing.

A huge thank you to the staff and students at BIC for welcoming us, and for recognising how important it is to talk openly about mental health with the next generation.

Happy Sunday everyone!

A reminder that today’s final Movember event has been postponed, our new date will be Thursday 18th December from 18:00 - get your Christmas jumpers ready! 🎄

The raffle will be drawn on the 18th, so there is still plenty of time to get involved 🥳

The UK Government has just released its first-ever Men’s Health Strategy, a long-overdue step in recognising the reality that men are dying younger and struggling in silence far too often.

Movember has published its initial response, highlighting some key strengths… and some areas that still fall short.

You can read their full breakdown here:
🔗 https://uk.movember.com/story/the-uk-government-has-published-its-first-ever-men-s-health-strategy-this-is-our-first-response

What stands out is this:
Men’s mental health is finally being acknowledged on a national level, but acknowledgement alone isn’t enough.
Real change requires funding, access to support, earlier intervention, and practical services men will actually use.

We’d love to hear your thoughts:
• Do you think this strategy goes far enough?
• What would you want to see prioritised?
• What support do you feel is still missing for men and boys?

Men’s mental health isn’t a once-a-year topic, it affects families, workplaces and communities every single day. Conversations like this matter.

If you or someone you love needs support, our team at The Gap Counselling is here.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to wait for a government strategy to get help.

A landmark day for men’s health. Movember UK joins partners to champion England’s new Men’s Health Strategy for a healthier, longer-living generation.
