Parents and Carers Mental Health Day: 30th January 2026
Parent Mental Health Day was created to raise awareness of the vital link between parents’ and carers’ mental health and the wellbeing of the whole family.
The challenges parents and carers face are year-round. It's important to find practical tools, expert advice, and support to help you look after your own mental health in order to support the people in your care, every day of the year.

Telephone Counselling is as Effective as Face-to-Face
A recent research study indicates that, "...similar clinical outcomes can be achieved via the telephone as are obtained in face-to-face [therapy]".
Furthermore, the alliance between therapist and client, as well as levels of empathy, attentiveness, participation and openess, are equivalent as in face-to-face therapy.
(Irvine et al; Journal of Affective Disorders; 15 March 2020)
For convenience I can offer telephone counselling sessions, as necessary and where appropriate, having completed specialist telephone training.
