13/05/2026

Losing someone important, or experiencing a significant life change, can affect every part of your life. Grief is not only sadness. It can include anxiety, anger, guilt, numbness, sleep difficulties, difficulty concentrating, or a sense that life no longer feels familiar. There is no single “right” way to grieve, and no fixed timeline.

For some people, support from family and friends is enough. For others, the pain feels persistent, confusing, or difficult to manage alone. Seeking therapy during grief is a thoughtful step towards understanding and healing.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence informed online therapy for individuals experiencing grief and loss. Our approach is personalised, professional, and sensitive to your unique circumstances.

Depending on your needs, we may draw on different therapeutic approaches:

Integrative Counselling
For many clients, a reflective and compassionate space to talk openly about their feelings is most important. Our integrative approach allows therapy to be tailored to your history, personality, and goals.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
EMDR can be helpful if your loss was sudden, traumatic, or accompanied by distressing memories. This structured approach supports the processing of painful experiences, helping to reduce their emotional intensity and allow space for adaptation.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy
IPT focuses on the impact of loss within your relationships and daily life. It can help you adjust to changes in roles, identity, and connection, while strengthening supportive relationships around you.

Grief does not need to be faced alone. With the right support, it is possible to find steadiness again while continuing to honour what has been lost.

If you feel that additional support would be helpful, we would be pleased to assist.

11/05/2026

Mental Health Awareness Week is a gentle reminder to pause and check in with how you are really feeling. In the middle of busy routines and responsibilities, it is easy to keep going without noticing when stress, anxiety, or low mood begin to build.

Mental health is not only about moments of crisis. It is shaped by everyday experiences, how we respond to challenges, and the support we allow ourselves to receive.

You might find it helpful this week to take a small step towards your wellbeing:

1. Notice how you are feeling
Take a moment to check in with your thoughts and emotions, without judgement.

2. Give yourself space to pause
Even a short break can help you reset and feel more grounded.

3. Reach out to someone you trust
Sharing how you feel can reduce a sense of isolation and help you feel supported.

4. Be patient with yourself
It is normal to have fluctuations in mood and energy. You do not need to have everything under control all the time.

If things have been feeling difficult for a while, you do not have to manage it on your own. Speaking with a therapist can offer a supportive and structured space to understand what you are experiencing and find ways forward.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence informed online therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma related difficulties, and other emotional challenges. Our approach is personalised, professional, and supportive.

If you feel that additional support would be helpful, we would be pleased to assist.

10/05/2026

Self care is not about doing more. It is about creating space to think clearly, feel steadily, and move through the week with intention.

Here are five practical approaches you might consider:

1. Protect Cognitive Space
Set aside a period of uninterrupted time away from emails, messages, and digital notifications. Even a short, clearly defined break can help reduce mental overload and improve focus. Giving your mind space to settle often restores clarity.

2. Prioritise Physical Regulation
Stress is experienced in the body as well as the mind. Gentle breathing exercises, a mindful walk, stretching, or slow movement can help calm the nervous system. When the body feels steadier, thoughts tend to feel more manageable.

3. Engage in Reflection
Take a few minutes to write down or quietly consider what this past week has brought. What felt challenging? What did you handle well? Processing experiences rather than pushing them aside can reduce emotional build up.

4. Reconnect with Your Values
Pause to think about what matters most to you at this stage in your life. Acting in ways that align with your values often brings a sense of steadiness and confidence, even during uncertainty.

5. Set One Kind Boundary for the Week Ahead
Consider one realistic limit that would support your wellbeing. This might mean protecting your sleep, leaving work on time, or saying no to an additional commitment. Sustainable change begins with small, achievable steps.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence informed online therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma related difficulties, sleep problems, low self esteem, and other emotional challenges. Our approach is personalised, collaborative, and grounded in professional expertise.

If you feel additional support would be helpful, we would be pleased to assist.

07/05/2026

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, is a structured and evidence based form of therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. By recognising and adjusting unhelpful patterns, many people experience meaningful and lasting improvements in their wellbeing.

CBT is commonly used to support anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive difficulties, sleep problems, and low mood. It is particularly helpful if you are looking for a focused, goal oriented approach that offers practical tools you can continue to use beyond therapy.

In CBT, you and your therapist work collaboratively. Sessions are structured and centred on the areas that matter most to you. You may explore recurring thought patterns, test out new ways of responding to challenging situations, and gradually build confidence in managing difficult emotions. Between sessions, small agreed exercises can help you apply new skills in everyday life.

CBT increases clarity, strengthens coping strategies, and improves the sense of control. The aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to equip you with techniques that support long term resilience.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality online CBT delivered by experienced, accredited therapists. Our approach is personalised, professional, and grounded in clinical expertise. Therapy is accessed through a secure platform, offering privacy and flexibility.

If you feel that CBT may be helpful for you, we would be pleased to assist.

Many people come to therapy feeling constantly tense, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off. This is especially common if you have experienced trauma, long term stress, or ongoing anxiety. You may notice that even when you understand something logically, your body still feels on edge.

Regulating the nervous system is often an important part of the therapeutic process. When your body feels calmer and safer, it becomes easier to think clearly, reflect, and engage in meaningful emotional work.

One tool some people are finding helpful is Sensate. It combines soothing soundscapes with gentle vibrations placed on the chest, designed to encourage the body’s natural calming response. The aim is to support relaxation and grounding in a simple, accessible way.

Some potential benefits include:

Helping you settle before or after therapy sessions
Offering a practical calming strategy between appointments
Providing an alternative if traditional meditation feels difficult
Reducing the physical build up of stress over time

Visit https://www.getsensate.com to learn more.
Use our exclusive discount code SERENOTHERAPY to get 10% off at checkout.

It is important to note that tools like Sensate are not a replacement for therapy. Rather, they can be a supportive addition, helping you feel more regulated and ready to engage in the deeper work of change.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence informed online therapy for anxiety, trauma related difficulties, depression, stress, and other emotional challenges. Our approach combines established therapeutic models with practical strategies that support both mind and body.

We have recently shared a new blog exploring an area that is often overlooked in surgical care: how psychological preparation can influence recovery and post operative pain.

When preparing for surgery, most of the focus is placed on physical procedures and recovery plans. However, research shows that how we think and feel beforehand can also play an important role in how we experience pain and how we recover afterwards.

Our latest blog introduces a specialist approach using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy before surgery. This type of support is designed to help you feel more prepared, reduce anxiety, and build practical ways to manage discomfort during recovery.

In the article, we explore:

1. How the mind and body work together in the experience of pain
2. The role of anxiety and expectations before surgery
3. Practical ways to feel more prepared and supported
4. How therapy can help you approach recovery with greater confidence

This is not about removing pain entirely, but about supporting you to feel more in control and better equipped for the process of healing.

At Sereno Therapy, we offer personalised, evidence informed online therapy, including specialist support for individuals preparing for surgery. Our approach is professional, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

01/05/2026

Pregnancy, childbirth and the months following birth can be times of profound change. Alongside joy and anticipation, many people experience emotional and psychological challenges as routines shift, sleep is disrupted and new responsibilities emerge. If this feels familiar, you are not alone.

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is an opportunity to acknowledge these experiences and to remind individuals and families that compassionate support is available.

Understanding perinatal mental health

Perinatal mental health difficulties can arise during pregnancy or after birth. These may include increased stress, anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm or difficulties adjusting to parenthood. Sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, changes in identity and reduced time for self care can all affect wellbeing.

Expectations of parenthood often differ from reality. Feeling uncertain, emotionally stretched or less confident during this period is common and does not reflect failure or weakness.

Common experiences may include:
1. Persistent low mood or tearfulness

2. Anxiety, panic or intrusive thoughts

3. Irritability or changes in mood

4. Exhaustion or difficulty concentrating

5. Changes in sleep or appetite

6. Feeling disconnected or losing interest in daily activities

7. Guilt, self doubt or feeling overwhelmed

8. Social withdrawal or isolation

These experiences are more common than many people realise and they are treatable.

How therapy can help

At Sereno Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence based psychological support tailored to your individual needs. Our experienced clinicians understand the emotional complexities of pregnancy and early parenthood and offer a safe, non judgemental space to talk openly.

Therapy can help you understand your experiences, develop coping strategies and feel more supported during this important transition.

28/04/2026

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is a reminder that feeling safe at work is not only about physical conditions. Emotional and psychological safety matter just as much. Experiences such as high pressure environments, bullying, conflict or distressing events at work can have a lasting impact on mental health.

Many people notice increased anxiety, low mood, loss of confidence, sleep problems or difficulty concentrating after challenging experiences at work. These reactions are understandable and common, especially when stress or difficult situations persist over time.

How therapy can help

At Sereno Therapy, we support individuals who are affected by workplace related mental health difficulties through evidence based psychological therapies.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help you understand how work related stress or anxiety is affecting your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It supports the development of practical coping strategies and helps rebuild confidence at work.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is an effective therapy for people who have experienced traumatic or overwhelming events at work. EMDR helps process distressing memories that continue to affect daily life.

Counselling offers a confidential and supportive space if you are experiencing workplace bullying, conflict or ongoing stress. It can help you make sense of your experience, strengthen boundaries and consider your options moving forward.

All therapy sessions at Sereno Therapy are delivered online by experienced and accredited therapists, allowing you to access support in a flexible and private way.

If work is affecting your mental wellbeing, you do not have to manage this alone.

25/04/2026

In the midst of a busy week, it can be difficult to find time for genuine rest. Even when we pause, the mind often continues to race. Yoga nidra offers a gentle and structured way to step out of that cycle and allow both body and mind to settle more deeply.

Often described as guided yogic sleep, yoga nidra is a calming meditation practice that supports profound relaxation while you remain comfortably aware. It can help ease physical tension, quiet mental overactivity, and restore a sense of balance. Many people find it particularly helpful during periods of stress, poor sleep, or emotional fatigue.

We would like to share a beautifully guided yoga nidra meditation by Ally Boothroyd. The session is accessible and suitable whether you are new to meditation or already have some experience. You can practise lying down in a comfortable position, allowing the guidance to support you into a deeply restful state.

You can access the meditation here:

22/04/2026

Earth Day is a reminder that balance matters. When we think about protecting the environment, we often focus on practical actions such as reducing waste or conserving energy. Yet there is also a quieter, more personal dimension. The way we relate to the world around us can influence how we feel within ourselves.

Spending time in nature, even briefly, has been shown to support calmer thinking, improved mood, and reduced stress. Simple acts such as walking in a green space, noticing seasonal change, or allowing yourself a few minutes of fresh air can help the nervous system settle. Acting in ways that reflect your values, including environmental responsibility, can also strengthen a sense of purpose and steadiness.

Earth Day can therefore be an invitation to pause. Where might small, thoughtful choices support both the planet and your own wellbeing? This does not require dramatic change. Often, it is the consistent, manageable steps that make the greatest difference.

At Sereno Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence informed online therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma related difficulties, sleep problems, low self esteem, and other emotional challenges. Our approach is personalised, professional, and grounded in clinical expertise.

If you feel that additional support would be helpful, we would be pleased to assist.

19/04/2026

Looking after your mental and physical wellbeing does not need to be complicated. Small, consistent habits can make a meaningful difference, especially when life feels busy or demanding. Sunday can be a helpful moment to pause, reset and reconnect with what your body and mind need.

Here are a few simple, supportive ways to care for yourself this weekend.

• Nourish your body
Eating regular, balanced meals helps support energy levels, concentration and mood. Try to eat mindfully and notice how different foods make you feel.

• Move in a way that feels kind
Gentle movement such as a walk, stretching or light activity can help release tension and improve emotional balance. It does not need to be strenuous to be helpful.

• Prioritise sleep
Good quality rest supports emotional regulation and overall wellbeing. Keeping a regular sleep routine, even at weekends, can help your body reset.

• Stay hydrated
Drinking enough water supports both physical health and mental clarity. Gentle reminders to pause and drink can help prevent fatigue.

• Allow yourself short breaks
Moments of rest during the day can reduce stress and prevent overwhelm. Even a few minutes of quiet can help your nervous system settle.

At Sereno Therapy, we believe self-care and professional support can work together. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need space to reflect, therapy can offer a calm and supportive place to explore what you are experiencing.
