This is very interesting! It makes sense - singing stimulates the vagus nerve which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system enabling us to feel calmer and more contented. But singing is also a social activity. Apparently the kind of singing that was used in these groups encouraged eye contact helping the mums involved to feel more connected to each other and their babies.

Group singing can be more effective than existing treatments at relieving the symptoms of postnatal depression, according to a first-of-its-kind study by King’s College London

The concept of boundaries is so helpful and I often use it in my work with clients. This is a great explanation of what boundaries are and why they are important.

Its World Mental Health Day. Our low cost counselling service is helping make counselling accessible to people who are on a low income. Contact us to find out more 0114 326 0043 info@sheffieldcentralcounselling.co.uk

Anyone should be able to access therapy when they need it.

But right now, that’s not the reality for too many people. Waiting lists are growing, services are underfunded, there are still barriers to access. Despite promises, mental health is still being left behind.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re calling on the Government to make mental health a priority with proper investment for services that meet people’s needs.

Its World Mental Health Day. If you are feeling overwhelmed counselling can help by providing a safe place to express and process your thoughts and feelings. You can book an appointment with our associate counsellors directly via our website

It's World Mental Health Day - a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.🌍💜

This year our theme is ‘overwhelm’. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed by global events and what can feel like non-stop negative news.

It’s okay to feel this way and it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you are going through.

Take time today to start a conversation with a friend about what good mental health means to you.💜

This week is World Childless Week, an opportunity for people who are childness not by choice to connect, find support, share stories and attend seminars about different aspects of being childless. Its also a way to raise awareness, so if this is something you know nothing about its worth taking a look at some of the submissions to gain greater understanding. Some beautiful artwork has been posted today.

I painted these forget-me-nots in dedication to the children we longed for, dreamed of, and lost.
