June marks Mens Health Week. A quick google of some mental health stats for men in the UK may shock you:

Last year around three-quarters of deaths by su***de in the UK were males, and su***de is the largest cause of death for men under 50.

If you are male and reading this: It is OK to not be OK. Please reach out to loved ones or any mental health professional for support, we are here for you, you are important and you are not alone.

Mindfulness is easier than you may think. It can look like anything and is far from perfect:

Counselling doesn't have to be a series of sessions - great support can be given with a single session, but it's not for everyone.

If you think you might benefit from a single-session focused on where you are stuck please get in touch!

Single-Session Therapy aims to give you targeted help when you need it most to help you meet your goals. Read on to decide if this is the right method of therapy for you,

It's mental health awareness week 13-19 May 2024 and Mind are encouraging everyone to talk about mental health. 1 in 4 of us will suffer with our mental health at some point in our lives.

Let's talk about mental health to support the people around us who need help now and de-stigmatise the conversation for the future.

So you've booked your first session, but what can you do to prepare so you get the most out of it?

Here's a few tips:

Are you silently suffering from anxiety?
*Do you constantly feel like something bad is going to happen?
*Do you find it hard to sleep, or the opposite – cant get enough sleep?
*Do you avoid certain situations because you’re afraid of having a panic attack or being so anxious that you’ll struggle to function?
*Is there something you wish you could do but you can’t because of how you feel?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, your nervous system could be struggling to help you self-regulate.
Fortunately, there is something we can do about that – together, we can show your body and brain that the worst isn’t going to happen and all that adrenaline and doubt isn’t needed.
You are not the problem, you are not broken. Your brain and body just need some extra support to get you back to feeling safe again – something that have supported clients to do in the past and I am ready to support you too.
Maybe its time to talk about how you’re feeling:

Access mental health support from the comfort of your own home 🏠

Some people are dealing with so much, that it's difficult to leave the house. This is where online and telephone sessions can be especially useful. I will meet you where you are and help you to get through whatever it is you’re going through.

If you think that’s something you would benefit from right now, please get it touch, I offer a 20 minute telephone call where you can ask all your questions to find out how I can support you and if im the right counsellor for you. I am here for you whenever you're ready.
