What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps people understand how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected.

It’s practical, structured, and tailored to each person - helping you notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps toward better coping, improved mood and greater control.

Happy International Day of Happiness!

Happiness doesn’t mean feeling good all the time - it’s about finding moments of connection, self-care, and balance that support our mental wellbeing.

Today is a reminder to pause, reflect, and notice the little things that bring you joy - whether that’s a conversation, a walk, or just a few deep breaths.

Even small moments of happiness can boost mood, reduce stress, and improve resilience.

Take a moment today to celebrate the things that make life feel a little brighter.

Everyone’s brain works differently and that’s something to celebrate. Mental health support should be inclusive, accessible and tailored to each person’s experience.

Therapy can help with anxiety, stress, emotional regulation and coping strategies - no matter your neurotype. Even small adjustments in how we communicate, listen and support each other can make a big difference.

At PLE Health, we’re committed to supporting everyone’s mental wellbeing, whatever your neurodiverse experience.

Motherhood is often described as one of life’s most joyful journeys - but it can also come with challenges that many mothers face silently.

Recent findings from the National Maternity Survey (2024) in England show that around 3 in 10 new mothers report experiencing common postnatal mental health problems, such as anxiety, low mood or depression after giving birth.

This Mother’s Day, it’s important to recognise that while many mothers are celebrating, others may be struggling behind the scenes. Postnatal mental health difficulties are common and support can make a real difference.

If you or someone you know is finding the postnatal period difficult, please remember:

• You are not alone

• Help and support are available

• Talking about how you feel is a strong and important first step

At PLE Health, we are committed to raising awareness and supporting maternal wellbeing so that every mother feels heard, supported and cared for.

Let’s use this Mother’s Day to celebrate mothers - and also to support their mental health.

World Sleep Day: Prioritising Rest for Mental Health

Sleep isn’t a luxury - it’s essential for our emotional wellbeing, focus and resilience.

Taking time to rest helps regulate mood, reduce stress and support overall mental health. Even small changes, like keeping a consistent bedtime or winding down without screens, can make a difference.

This World Sleep Day, remember prioritising rest is a form of self-care. Your mental health deserves it.

University life can be exciting, but it can also come with challenges such as academic pressure, deadlines, and adjusting to new environments. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your studies.

On University Mental Health Day, we’re reminded of the importance of creating supportive environments where students feel comfortable talking about their mental well-being and seeking help when they need it. No one should feel they have to face these challenges alone.

Trauma can leave lasting effects on our thoughts, emotions and daily life - but it doesn’t have to define who we are.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based psychological approach designed to help people process and recover from traumatic experiences in a safe and structured way. It supports individuals in understanding how trauma affects thoughts, feelings and behaviours, while building healthy coping strategies and resilience.

In this carousel, we explore:

• What TF-CBT is

• How the therapy works

• Who it can support

• The practical benefits it can bring to emotional wellbeing

Recovery doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means learning how to move forward, regain a sense of control and live well alongside your experiences.

Swipe through to learn more about how trauma-informed therapy can support healing and long-term wellbeing.
