Mental Health and Coping in a time of crisis

Taking care of your mind as well as your body is really important if you are staying at home because of coronavirus (COVID-19).

You may feel worried or anxious about your finances, your health or those close to you. Perhaps you feel bored, frustrated or lonely. It's important to remember that it's OK to feel this way and that everyone reacts differently.

Remember, for most of us, these feelings will pass. Staying at home may be difficult, but you're helping to protect yourself and others by doing it.

There are things you can do now to help you keep on top of your mental wellbeing and cope with how you may feel if you're staying at home. Make sure you get further support if you feel you need it.

Maybe arrange a counselling session with a BACP registered coucillor such as Jane Hickson who is highly recomended by our staff and customers alike

I believe the key to successful therapy is to establish a supportive and collaborative working relationship. I aim to do this by getting to know my clients and trying to understand what brings them to therapy, helping them to find their own answers and the best ways forward.
