Mental Health & Wellbeing Issues
Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act and it is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Mental Health problems can be present in many forms and therapy and counselling can really help to discover coping strategies for each.
Anxiety
Anxiety is common in mental illness and can sometimes become apparent after extreme or distressing experiences. You may feel intense apprehension or worry, acute physical signs such as sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, dizziness or irritability.
Depression
Depression can be a devastating illness that affects your mood, behaviour, thoughts and your body. Without treatment and help symptoms can be present for years and may prevent you from functioning to your full ability. The National Institute for Health Care Excellence currently recommends a range of psychological therapies for the treatment of depression.
