Did you know that many of the people we work with in psychotherapy, counselling and in dietitian/nutritional therapy tell us: I AM SOOOOO STRESSED!! I FEEL I AM AT BREAKING POINT! I AM SO OVERWHELMED BY WORK AND LIFE!! Stress, overwhelm and burnout affect us in so many different ways: they affect how our brain works; they affect us physically; they affect our feelings and emotions and how we deal with them; they affect us at work and socially; and stress, overwhelm and burnout also affect our relationships and quality of life. That's a lot of things that stress, overwhelm and burnout can affect, isn't it? Yet, many of us go along, just putting up with it until we arrive at some sort of breaking point and start feeling panic, anxious, out-of-control, exhausted and maybe even lost. It doesn't have to be like that though. There are lots of things you can do, with support, to help both prevent, and manage, stress, overwhelm and burnout. Some involve simple strategies that help ...

  We all need someone to talk to sometimes.... don't we?    Talking to others about our problems, concerns, thoughts, feelings or about whatever is going on for us in life can be tricky at times. It can be hard to open up and have time to focus on ourselves. However, your mental and emotional health is sooooooo important and deserves the same care as your physical health. Sometimes we all need someone to talk to - about the big and the smaller things in life. Perhaps you need a listening ear and someone to talk to about life's struggles and stresses. Or perhaps you experience low mood, depression, anxiety, problems with food/eating, OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, self-harm etc. and other mental health issues. Or perhaps you need some support with increasing confidence, self-esteem, relationship issues, assertiveness, stress and more. Whatever the case may be, our experienced and qualified psychotherapists and counsellors can offer support and a listening ear thro...

  Signs and Symptoms of Depression    Of course, everyone's experience of low mood and depression is different; owever, the poster below can help us to spot some of the signs and symptoms of depression in either ourselves or others.    Think about the changes you have noticed in yourself or in someone you know or care about who might be experiencing low mood or depression. How have you/they changed? What are you/they doing more/less of than before? Have you/they developed unhelpful ways of coping? What other things have you noticed in yourself/another? Might it be low mood or depression?    If you need some support or someone to talk to about feeling depressed, low, sad, angry, hurt, confused, anxious, bereaved, hurt, distressed or anything else that is causing you challenge or difficulty at the moment, please know our psychotherapists, counsellors and dietitians are here to support you in making changes and working towards improving life.   ...

BULIMIA NERVOSA   Eating disorders affect physical and psychological health, emotional wellbeing, social life, work, education, relationships and so much more.   While many of the clients we work with, and have worked with, express and talk about how, for example, Bulimia affects their mental health, emotional wellbeing and social life, they also often disregard or are unaware of the physical implications of Bulimia Nervosa.   Bulimia is a serious condition and it's really important to take note of the possible physical implications - both short-term and long-term - too.   The infographic below illustrates some of the potential physical risks associated with Bulimia.   If you need some support or someone to talk to about Bulimia or any other eating disorder/disordered eating, our psychotherapists, counsellors and dietitians are here to support you in making changes and working towards recovery. We can support you with any non-eating disorder problems and concern...
