đź§  Burnout is increasingly recognised as a serious issue across mental health and care settings đź§ 

The World Health Organization defines burnout as an occupational phenomenon linked to chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

Research shows it is driven largely by sustained pressure, emotional load and limited recovery, rather than individual weakness.

Evidence-informed approaches that can help reduce burnout risk include:
• Recognising early signs such as emotional exhaustion or detachment
• Building regular recovery time into daily and weekly routines
• Setting and maintaining clear boundaries around work and availability
• Accessing reflective or supportive supervision
• Acknowledging emotional labour as a legitimate demand

Burnout prevention is most effective when individual strategies are supported by compassionate, psychologically informed environments.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step and concerns like cost often play a role in whether people reach out.

Some clients are able to access counselling through their health insurance.

Restoring Hope Therapies currently works with providers such as:
đź’ˇ Aviva
đź’ˇ AXA
đź’ˇ Bupa
đź’ˇ Vitality
and more!

If you have health insurance, it may be worth checking your policy or asking your provider whether therapy is included.

Coverage can vary, but exploring this option can sometimes make therapy more accessible.

If you’re unsure where to start, get in contact with us today.

Support doesn’t have to begin with a commitment; it can begin with a conversation.

What People Think Therapy Is vs. What It Actually Is

What people think therapy is:

- Lying on a couch

- Being told what’s “wrong” with you

- Reliving every painful memories

- Getting quick answers or fixes

What therapy actually is:

✨ A safe, supportive space to be heard

✨ Making sense of your thoughts, emotions and patterns

✨ Learning practical tools to cope, heal and grow

✨ Moving at your pace, with compassion and curiosity

✨ Building self-understanding, not being judged or “fixed”

At Restoring Hope Therapies, therapy isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about walking alongside you as you discover them for yourself.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy.

You don’t have to have the “right words.”

You just have to show up as you are.

Healing looks different for everyone and that’s okay!

Behind every call is someone reaching out in fear, distress, or desperation.

Many people experiencing domestic abuse suffer in silence for a long time before asking for help, often feeling isolated, ashamed or unsure where to turn.

If you are affected by domestic abuse or worried about someone you care about, please know that support is available.

You deserve to feel safe, listened to and believed.

Reaching out, whether to a trusted person or a specialist service, can be a powerful first step.

Raising awareness matters.
Talking about it matters.
Reminding people they are not alone can make a difference.

Recently, Ashley Banjo spoke on Loose Men about losing a friend’s mum and the moment that stayed with many people was this:

In the days immediately after the death, everyone checked in. Messages came. Support was visible.
Then the funeral passed. A week went by. Life moved on.
And the check-ins stopped.

Ashley shared how he assumed his friend would know he was there if they needed to talk. But his friend later told him how painful it felt when that support quietly disappeared. Being told “I’m here if you need me” didn’t feel like enough when the world had already gone quiet.

This speaks to something we see so often with grief.

Grieving people are not only carrying loss, they are often carrying the responsibility of having to reach out, explain how they feel and decide when it’s appropriate to talk. That can feel exhausting, vulnerable and sometimes impossible.

True space to talk is not passive.
It is created through gentle, ongoing invitations.

Checking in weeks later.
Asking again.
Saying, “I’m still here” and showing it with presence, not just words.

Grief doesn’t need fixing. It needs room.
And sometimes, that room is made when we don’t wait for the person who is hurting to speak first.

The new year can stir up a lot of emotions. While it’s often framed as a fresh start, many people experience pressure to feel motivated, optimistic, or “ready” for change.

When that doesn’t happen, it can lead to guilt, anxiety or a sense of falling behind before the year has even begun.

Emotional wellbeing doesn’t follow the calendar.

Some people need time to recover from the previous year before they can even think about what comes next. Others may feel unsettled by change itself, even when it’s positive. These responses are normal and human.

Rather than focusing on resolutions, it can help to approach the new year with curiosity instead of expectation.

Noticing how you feel, allowing space for mixed emotions, and setting small, flexible intentions can be more supportive than pushing for immediate progress.

If the new year feels difficult, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It simply means you’re responding honestly to where you are right now.

Human Rights Day 🌍

Human Rights Day serves as an important reminder that dignity, equality and freedom belong to everyone without exception.

It is a day to reflect on the progress made, the work still needed and the shared responsibility we hold in ensuring that human rights are upheld across all areas of life.

One area where this remains especially vital is mental health.

Access to mental health support is not a luxury; it is a fundamental human right. Yet many people still face barriers such as stigma, limited services, cultural or language challenges, financial constraints or systemic inequalities.

Recognising mental health accessibility as a rights-based issue encourages us to think beyond individual wellbeing and toward creating communities and systems where care is available, equitable and inclusive.

On this day, we honour:
🔹 The universal principles of dignity and equality
🔹 The importance of safety, respect and compassion
🔹 The right of every person to access support that helps them feel understood, valued and empowered

Human Rights Day reminds us that advocating for accessible mental health support is an essential part of advocating for human rights as a whole.

When barriers to care are reduced, individuals, families and communities become stronger.

Many of us want to support someone who is having a difficult time with their mental health, yet it can be hard to know what to say or how to help.

What matters most is presence, compassion and a willingness to listen.

Showing up is not about having all the answers.

It is about being a steady, compassionate presence when someone feels lost, overwhelmed or alone.

Small acts of care can create meaningful moments of connection and make a real difference in someone’s healing journey.

What Actually Is Therapy and Counselling?

Therapy and counselling are structured, supportive conversations designed to help people understand themselves, navigate challenges and build healthier ways of coping.

🔹 Collaborative processes:
You work with a trained professional to explore thoughts, feelings and patterns that shape your wellbeing.

🔹 Safe, confidential space:
A non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself openly and gain clarity.

🔹 Practical tools and strategies:
You learn skills for managing emotions, stress, relationships and life transitions.

🔹 Not just for crisis:
Therapy supports personal growth, self-awareness, and resilience, even when nothing feels “wrong.”

Relationship-driven:
A trusting connection is central to meaningful insight, healing, and change.

Therapy and counselling are not about being “broken” or needing to be “fixed.”
It is about understanding, healing, learning and growing, with the guidance of someone trained to walk alongside you.
