The Process Psychotherapy, London (2026)

Ever noticed how, as we get older, our social circle tends to shrink?

I’ve went on a canyoning trip in Scotland with one of my oldest and closest friends, and it reminded me just how important friendships are for positive mental wellbeing. For me, social connection is one of the non-negotiables for a happy life.

But.… as we get older, careers, relationships, and families naturally take priority, and friendships often get pushed to the side-lines.

The risk?

Isolation creeps in without you even realising it and isolation is where the depression monster thrives.

Over the years I’ve learned that, just like anything valuable, friendships need investment.

You have to put the time in if you want meaningful connections that last.

Here’s how I try to keep mine alive and thriving:

Plan ahead – everyone’s busy, so get things in the diary and don’t cancel!

Make it count – when you do catch up, do something memorable and fun.

Choose wisely – some friendships lift you up, others just weigh you down. Focus on the good ones.

It sounds easy but, when was the last time you really connected with friends?

So here’s my Friday reminder… friendships don’t maintain themselves. You have to be intentional.

How do you keep your friendships strong when life gets busy?

When was the last time you rewarded yourself for all your hard work?

Most of us are great at pushing ourselves.
Deadlines, goals, commitments.
But when it comes to recognising that effort, we hesitate.

I ask the groups I work with how they reward themselves, most people said:

“I wouldn’t know how.”

When I asked how they would reward someone they love, the answers come easily.

If there’s no reward for the effort we put in, eventually, the motivation to keep going grinds to a halt.

I break my rewards down into three:

Small – a walk in nature, a favourite coffee, a great meal.

Medium – a spa day, a weekend away, or a live event.

Big – something significant I’ve wanted for a while like a holiday.

For me, that “big” one recently was finally staying at Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi Coast. A place I’d had wanted to visit for years.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if I deserved it. After reflecting on the hard work I'd put in and progress made, it felt right to treat myself.

Now, on those cold, dark mornings when motivation’s low and resistance is high, I’ll remember that trip and remind myself that hard work results in great rewards.

(And yes - I did just want to show off my holiday pic).

How do you reward yourself for the work you put in?

Last week, I was awarded for my work in mental wellbeing. It's always great to get recognition and I was sure to celebrate with a trip to my favourite Italian restaurant Bellini's Italian Eatery on the outskirts of London.

The award should really go to my team though. Although it's only a small team, I really wouldn't be able to help those I work with without them. So, thank you so much to Jenai Maurits, Steven Dunn, Charlotte Jarrey, Oliver Richards, Felix Oram, Sachin Sonchhatla and now, Arlo Taylor.

You're all great at what you do and I am extremely grateful for all your hard work.

Ever noticed, when the clocks change, your energy levels change with it?

As the days shorten and the clocks go back, I’ve learned to notice what this change brings up for me, and for many of the people I work with.

No more late-evening tennis, BBQs with friends, or sunlit pub gardens. The loss of light can feel like a loss of energy, connection, and momentum.

It took me a while to connect the dots, but now I prepare for it just like I would for any challenge:

- Awareness
- Acceptance
- Action

These are the foundations I always return to.

Here are a few patterns I see show up in others (and in myself) and how I approach them now:

Less social interaction → Plan social meet ups in advance. Don’t leave it to chance. Book in early.

Less community engagement → Join new communities that thrive in winter. Indoor clubs, smaller gatherings, local teams.

Mornings feel much harder → Adjust sleep. Go to bed earlier, especially around the clock change.

Caffeine intake creeps up → Be intentional. Scale back now so it’s effective when you need it.

Exercise reduces → Find winter-friendly ways to stay active.

There’s no one-size-fits-all, but small intentional changes help me stay grounded and connected through the darker months.

How do you prepare for the seasonal shift?

The Process Mental Wellbeing is pleased to share we are now affiliated with AXA Health Insurance.

This follows our recognition by the BACP as an accredited mental health provider - a standard that reflects years of training, ethical practice, and professional experience.

BACP accreditation is awarded based on trust and quality. AXA affiliation builds on that, making it easier for clients and organisations to access support through insurance, without the barriers that can slow things down.

For employees covered by AXA, this means quicker access to therapy and confidential support when it’s needed most. For organisations, it offers the reassurance that their people are working with a provider recognised for both professional integrity and practical impact.

At The Process, we deliver psychotherapy, group workshops and keynote sessions that help teams build resilience and strengthen workplace culture.

Together, these partnerships make it simpler for organisations to turn good intentions around mental health into meaningful, accessible action.

As the demand for keynotes and workshops increases, the amount of time I spend on the therapy couch is shrinking fast.

Helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing is why I started in this field—and it’s still at the heart of everything I do.

That’s why I’ve created The Journey – a Psychotherapy agency created to provide accessible, affordable Psychotherapy sessions for all.

Every therapist at The Journey holds a Master’s degree, and after a very positive meeting with three Roehampton MSc grads, our team has grown to five therapists plus a coordinator.

The Journey’s aim is simple: to make sure everyone can access the support they need, quickly—whatever they are struggling with.

I’d like to give a very warm welcome to The Journey’s newest recruits: David Soffer, Felix Oram, and Arlo Taylor.

A special thanks to Dr Kay Capaldi for all your support along the way.
Another example of the power of LinkedIn.

The Journey is just getting started—let's see where it takes us.

The Process Mental Wellbeing is excited to be back with the team at Changing Social tomorrow.

We’ll be delivering a session on mental health emergencies and catastrophes to mark hashtag .

This isn’t about theory. It’s about real people, real moments, and real responses.

In the session, we will explore:

• How to spot the signs of a mental health emergency - in ourselves and in others

• What to do in those critical first moments

• Steps we can all take to minimise the risk of crises happening

There are so many ways to recognise hashtag , from team discussions and lunch-and-learns to simply highlighting the support services already available.

How will you use this day to show your team that you’ve got their back?

The Process Mental Wellbeing is excited to be returning to Asia in November to work with Johnson & Johnson.

I will be supporting their teams in developing a growth mindset to strengthen cohesion and improve productivity.

The work is focused on applying a growth mindset for lasting team cohesion, exploring themes such as:

- How mindset influences collaboration and communication

- Building psychological safety within teams

- Developing resilience and adaptability in times of change

- Turning constructive feedback into continuous improvement

- Overcoming fixed thinking to unlock innovation

- Creating sustainable habits that support wellbeing and performance

A special thank you to Shirley Loh for the time and effort spent coordinating this work. Your support makes these sessions possible.

I am looking forward to connecting with the team and supporting them on their journey.

If not anxiety, then what?

I recently enjoyed a rare few days off and took the chance to pause and reflect.

Business? Good.

Health? Good.

Family? Well, still family.

Tottenham had even won before an international break and that never happens!

Everything was fine… yet something was missing.

Anxiety!

I had nothing to feel anxious about, and oddly, that felt uncomfortable.
It made me realise how familiar anxiety had become. Sometimes we hold on to emotions like stress, overwhelm and anxiety because they feel familiar.

When the negative feelings are gone, it can be hard to know how to feel without them.

So I asked myself: If not anxiety, then what?

Content.

Calm.

Excited.

I started practicing those feelings until they became my new normal.

If you could choose your feelings, what would you choose?

The Process Mental Wellbeing is pleased to share that we are now hosting small group therapy sessions seven days a week.

We will be teaming up with Felix Oram and Oliver Richards at The Journey Therapists to meet the growing demand for affordable, accessible mental health support.

Each group focuses on managing anxiety, depression and unwanted compulsive behaviours, and is facilitated by subject experts who have personally overcome these challenges.

Why small groups?

Because when people come together in a supportive, non-judgemental space, they not only recover, they develop the skills to thrive.

Group therapy provides:

• Open, honest discussion
• A sense of belonging and shared purpose
• Community, accountability and ongoing peer support

Each group also has its own WhatsApp community to encourage connection and mutual support between sessions.

These sessions are built around four key pillars of positive mental health:

• Community
• Responsibility
• Social interaction
• Purpose

For employers, professionals and individuals, small group therapy can be an effective and sustainable part of a wider wellbeing strategy.

If you know someone who could benefit, or if your organisation is exploring ways to strengthen mental health support, please share this post or contact The Process Mental Wellbeing to find out more.
