It's World Mental Health Day - a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.🌍💜
This year our theme is ‘overwhelm’. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed by global events and what can feel like non-stop negative news.
It’s okay to feel this way and it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you are going through.
Take time today to start a conversation with a friend about what good mental health means to you.💜

I've been having a digital clear out recently and came across the draft of this article which went on to be published by the Counsellors Café Magazine back in 2017. A lovely blast from the past which made me smile so I thought I'd share with you all.

Welcome to September! I've just published my latest blog where I'm looking at how CBT can help us to figure out 'how the world really works' and free us from negative thinking patterns and habits.
I love this image! It's not uncommon to struggle with uncertainty esp. if you are a chronic worrier. This is just one of the areas of CBT which I specialise in. If you're interested in taking that journey with me then please get in touch: hello@forresttalkingtherapies.co.uk.
Uncertainty can be scary, but if you want to create a life you love, being brave enough to face the unknown is often required! 🖌️

Press the pause button. Take a slow deep breath. Picture yourself in a forest. As you look up you see the trees towering majestically above you and the light radiating through the leaves. All around you is the sound of beautiful bird song. As you breathe in the air feels so clean and you can ... Rea...

Forrest Talking Therapies started in December 2015 when a colleague asked me to supervise his private work. From here I worked with the Womens Organisation who helped me to set up my own business providing therapy and supervision on a private basis.
Prior to Forrest Talking Therapies I had many years experience of providing therapy in the NHS and charity sector. I was looking for more flexibility and variety in my working life and was excited about the challenges of working for myself.
I’ve been lucky to work with a number of local business’ who have helped me with essentials such as room hire, leaflet printing, referrals and website design.
I work with national companies and receive referrals from organisations such as BUPA and Nuffield Health. I have also previously worked with IESO Digital Health providing therapy online.
I started my blog - Forrest Rambles - in April 2017 with the aim of demystifying cognitive behavioural therapy and the conditions it can help with. You can read this on my website (https://forresttalkingtherapies.co.uk/forrest-rambles/) and social media feeds on the 1st of every month.
In 2016 I worked with colleagues to set up the Liverpool Branch of the BABCP which provides networking and training opportunities for CBT Therapists. I was the Secretary of the Branch until May 2019.
In 2020 Forrest Talking Therapies moved online which means that you can access treatment from anywhere in the UK!
As well as Forrest Talking Therapies I am also busy working part time for the NHS and University of Chester.
