When is self help enough & when should you seek some professional help?

In today's world, it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious at times. Whether it's personal or professional challenges, societal pressures, or unforeseen events, life can throw us unexpected curveballs that can be difficult to navigate on our own.

While self-help books and resources can be valuable, there are times when seeking the guidance of a trained professional can provide the support and tools we need to cope with life's challenges.

In this blog, we will explore the differences between self-help and therapy, when it's appropriate to seek therapy, and how therapy can provide us with the tools we need to take care of our mental health and live more fulfilling lives.

Championing Women's Mental Health

We explore the importance of championing women's mental health and breaking down the barriers that prevent women from seeking help. Here we try to highlight the vulnerability of women to mental health issues due to the many roles and responsibilities they have. Encouraging everyone to prioritise mental health care as a form of self-care and seek support when needed.

We also emphasise the role of qualified therapists in providing a confidential space for individuals to learn coping skills and techniques. Calling everyone to be kind, compassionate and a champion of women's mental health.
