BREAK THE STIGMA! LETS LET MEN TALK🗣
Hearing of more men take their own life saddens me so much! If you are finding yourself in that dark headspace please talk to someone. It may not change everything but it COULD change something!

Hi Everyone

We all need some tips to help us with anxiety at times, here are 5 tips that you might find helpful.

1. Focus on your five senses - this can help us to focus and be present when needing an immediate distraction.
2. A good App can help - Apps such as Calm & Headspace are great for understanding and coping with anxiety and other struggles you might face.
3. Breathe - find the right breathing technique for you.
4. Exercise - it can sometimes be difficult to find the motivation. However it can offer a fulfilling sense of achievement.
5. Talk to someone - talking to someone can help to feel like you are not alone and having the chance to offload can help ease the stress that can come with anxiety

It can be a bit anxiety provoking when enquiring about counselling as people don’t always know what to expect, If you would like to have some more information feel free to email me on Rtalkcounselling@gmail.com
