Mental Health Awareness Week: 12 - 18 May 2025
This year, the theme of Mental Helath Awareness Week is 'Community'.
We thrive when we have strong connections with others that remind us, we are not alone.
Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, and support in hard times, as well as giving us a sense purpose.

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.
