For some people, talking openly about anxiety can sometimes help bring clarity about their thoughts and concerns.

Talking to a professional about how you are feeling, and why you’re feeling it, can lead to a better understanding of the things that add to and shape your anxiety.

This may help you see things from a different angle, making anxiety easier to manage. It may also help you find ways to manage during the times when your anxiety is heightened.

We have a team of experienced therapists who work with you to help find ways to move forward that work for you. Get started and book your first appointment today through our website

Connection to self is about acceptance and love for who you are. Sometimes, having a safe space to talk things through can make all the difference.

Talking can sometimes help people to gain clarity about their thoughts, concerns and past experiences. Discussing how you are feeling, and why you’re feeling it, can lead to a better understanding of the things that add to and shape you.

If counselling feels like the right step, our team of experienced therapists are here to help

Wishing you a peaceful time, however you are celebrating today.

It can be a difficult time for some people, feeling stressed, isolated, or uncertain of the future. If you can, reach out to people who may be struggling. Extend kindness to yourself too, you’re doing what you can.

If you’re facing a tough time, you can call the National Mental Health support line on 111-press 2, or the Samaritans 116 123.

The festive period can bring up a mix of emotions. For some people, this time of year can feel difficult. Some people might be feeling low, lonely, or overwhelmed and the pressure to be joyful and connected can make things feel even more intense.

Pressures can feel bigger at this time of year, financial worries, relationship tensions, or simply the sense that life doesn’t look the way we think it’s supposed to, or perhaps you’re experiencing grief and loss.

In one of our previous webinars, our counsellors explored some of the challenges that can come up around Christmas, and shared thoughtful, compassionate ways to navigate them.

There’s no “perfect” Christmas: choose what brings you joy and celebrate in a way that's right for you. If redecorating your kitchen on Christmas Day brings you joy, go for it!

Grief is different for everyone—it might bring feelings of sadness, anger, numbness, or even moments of peace. There’s no “right” way to feel; it’s as unique as your relationship with the person you’ve lost.

In our bereavement webinar, Platfform Wellbeing’s Lead Counsellors Katie and Jody shared insights on navigating grief. They touched on milestones like anniversaries, supporting others at work, and coping with loss after su***de.

We’re living in a world that moves faster than our nervous systems can keep up with, where constant pace, pressure, attention overload and emotional fatigue can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and from others.

When we feel constantly stressed and overwhelmed, our thinking narrows, and workplace relationships can be strained.

But when leaders feel grounded, emotionally aware, and supported with space to reflect, clarity and creativity have room to grow.

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll explore coaching and how creating a dedicated space to slow down can help us think more clearly, regulate under pressure, and make decisions with greater confidence.
