Watch: Therapy patients urge others to ask for help

“Treatment has made a huge difference to me. It has helped me to transform from dealing with chronic pain, as I improve physically, to deal with the psychological symptoms. I felt like I really had support.”

“There was flexibility to have phone consultations. I feel confident in the info, websites and books I can use to self manage in the future.”

“The choice of the online programme fitted well with my circumstances and lifestyle, and my supporter was very good in explaining how my levels of low mood and anxiety had changed.”

“The experience was great, I really have a better understanding of my problems and I would recommend to a friend - the service was also flexible with my schedule.”

“I really enjoyed this self-esteem course and felt really involved in the group. I've taken away some skills which I will definitely use in the future.”

Ukraine

The shocking conflict in the Ukraine is at the top of the news agenda at the moment with round the clock coverage across the media. For some people it may feel to be something happening far away that has no impact on them, for others there is direct personal and psychological effects. It is normal to feel worried about the war and evolving political situation. It is normal to reflect upon and feel our own experiences of loss, trauma, and stress over the past two years. This situation – like the pandemic – is one in which we are powerless to influence events directly.

World Sleep Day

Getting a good night’s sleep is the advice from TalkingSpace Plus psychological practitioners. Sleep helps us to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit and gets us ready for the next day’s challenges and stresses. The importance of a good night’s sleep cannot be underestimated and is one of the key ways to maintain a balanced and healthy mind.
