🧠 World Mental Health Day is an important reminder of why open, honest conversations about mental health matter.

Below, counsellor and psychotherapist Jemma Kane of First Psychology Glasgow highlights the value of having personal “anchors” for our mental health: simple, practical ways to stay grounded when things feel uncertain or overwhelming.

Talking about mental health shouldn’t be limited to one day, but today is a good place to start.

We put our clients at the centre of everything we do. This means that before we make any decision at First Psychology, we ask ourselves “Is this in the best interests of our clients?”

We are passionate about providing the best therapeutic service we can, and that means considering those we are helping in all that we do.
