A Healthier Mind Counselling

More and more of my clients are showing signs of neurodiversity. I see a real link between ND and anxiety of fitting in. Irrelevant of what labels people have been given or even undiagnosed I work to help people understand who they are and accept themselves 💕💕

This article explains why I give an hour a week to an amazing charity. ❤

An A&E nurse describes the anguish she's faced - and how a helpline inspired by Clap for Carers gave her hope.

I volunteer for this fantastic charity that offers counselling to NHS workers.

If you know of anyone in the NHS that is struggling then pass this on.

If you are a counsellor and could spare an hour a week they are desperately in need of more volunteers as there is always a waiting list.

It’s World Menopause Day today, guys don’t scroll away, there is such a thing as male menopause too, it’s called Andropause!

Both have a connection with stress and anxiety. Not related you may say, but the connection between how stressed they are and their hormones is being talked about more and more with my clients.

I’ve heard one account of a person thinking they were going through the menopause who managed to reduce their stress levels significantly and their symptoms vanished.

So have a think today about what you could do to relieve your stress and improve your mood.

It could be exercise, meditation, getting a bit more sleep, eating a more balanced diet or just having a chat with a friend. Give yourself a break and take care of yourselves out there, it's a stressful world.

All too often the way we speak to ourselves is unkind.

It's often hard to listen to ourselves, but if you catch yourself saying something unkind then ask yourself "Would I say that to a friend?"

If the answer is "No", then you probably shouldn't be saying it to yourself either and expecting too much of yourself.

With a lot of people working from home during it's hard to get positive interaction from others so we have to be mindful of our internal monologue.

If this resonates with you then feel free to DM me.

Always good to explore how others are reacting to COVID and add to my skills.

Get psychological first aid training online and learn how to help people cope with the emotional toll of COVID-19, with Public Health England's online course.

We often are kinder to friends than we are ourselves. Next time you say something unkind, ask yourself “would I say that to a friend?”

Thoughts can be quite harmful so please don't believe everything you think.
