Mental health is important every day, but today is a great day to talk about reducing stigma and opening conversations about how we really feel.

No one should have to struggle in silence. The more we speak openly about mental health, the more we create a culture where it's safe to ask for help and safe to be human.

This , let’s keep breaking the stigma, listening without judgement, and reminding each other: it’s okay to not be okay.

You’re not alone. We are here if you need us 💚

The recent tragic events have brought pain and fear to many in our community. But in the midst of this sorrow, there has also been warmth. Messages of care and solidarity from people of all backgrounds.

Each kind word, each act of compassion, reminds us: when we come together, the light shines brighter.

At Manchester Holistic Centres, we’re here to hold space for whatever you’re feeling - grief, confusion, or the need to simply be.

You are not alone. We stand with you 🤍🕯️🙏🏼

Not everything is in your control and that's okay ☕️💛

Focusing on your circle of influence means letting go of what's outside of your control and gently coming back to what you can manage: your thoughts, your boundaries, your choices.

In therapy, we use this idea often, especially in CBT, to help reduce overwhelm and regain clarity.

If you'd like support with this, we're here.

💛 Save this if you need the reminder.

“We know more than we know. My organism knows things that my mind hasn't grasped yet” - Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers believed we each have an innate drive to grow, heal, and evolve. If something feels “off” lately, listen closely. Your mind and body may be trying to tell you something important.

If you feel it’s time for support in your healing, growth, or self-discovery, Manchester Holistic Centre is here. We have therapists with a range of expertise, ready to walk alongside you when you're ready. 🦋🩵

August is the perfect time to slow down ☕️🧘🏼‍♀️

These summer months offer a chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself - even if just for a few quiet moments each day.

Whether it’s sitting in the sun with a cuppa, taking a mindful walk, or writing down one kind thought to yourself. The small acts of care can make a big difference to your mental well-being.

This August, give yourself permission to rest 🤍

🌟 A big thank you to everyone who joined us for Wednesday’s Networking & CPD Event! 🌟

We had a fantastic turnout and an engaging discussion on Working with Couples and Relationships in Therapy. It was inspiring to hear from therapists across different modalities sharing their unique approaches.

Joy introduced us to Emotion Focused Therapy for couples, while Gary provided insight on Imago Relationship Therapy and couples workshops. We discussed the similarities and differences in how some of the therapists approach relationship work. An open dialogue made for a truly enriching evening.

It’s always a pleasure to bring our community together to learn, connect, and develop. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Pause. Breathe. Be Grateful.

In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty and meaning in the present moment. This short video is a gentle reminder to slow down, shift your perspective, and reconnect with gratitude. 💛

At Manchester Holistic Centres, we believe small mindset shifts can lead to powerful emotional growth for both clients and therapists. Take a few minutes to watch—and reflect. It might just change your day.

Feeling exhausted, emotionally drained, or like you're running on empty?

That could be burnout talking—and it's more common than you think.

As the day comes to a close, give yourself permission to pause.
You don't need to push through everything. Rest is productive. Healing is allowed.

At Manchester Holistic Centres, we can help you untangle burnout and reconnect with yourself—gently, one step at a time.
Let’s talk when you’re ready. You don’t have to do this alone.
