This year’s UK Mental Health Awareness Week runs 11th – 17th May 2026, and the theme is “Action”, led by the Mental Health Foundation.

Awareness matters, mental health affects everyone at some point, directly or indirectly. Campaigns can help people to recognise signs of mental health struggles, know when and how to seek help, support friends, family and colleagues.

The week aims to:
- Increase understanding of mental health issues
- Encourage people to talk openly about their experiences
- Promote ways to improve mental wellbeing
- Challenge stigma and discrimination

Here are some easy ways to take part this week:

For yourself

- Go for a walk (even 10–15 minutes helps)
- Put your phone down for an hour
- Get outside in daylight
- Do one thing you’ve been putting off that’s weighing on you
- Take proper rest without feeling guilty

For someone else

- Check in with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Ask “How are you really doing?” and listen
- Offer practical help (not just “let me know if you need anything”)

The support around us may not always be enough. Professional help is always available, if you feel you need support please do not hesitate to contact me;

Addiction is often misunderstood as a failure of willpower or a lack of discipline. From a therapeutic perspective, it is neither; addiction is a complex psychological and physiological response to pain, stress, and unmet needs. It develops when a person finds temporary relief, whether through substances or behaviours, and that relief becomes a pattern the brain starts to depend on.

In therapy, the focus shifts from judgment to understanding. Instead of asking “What’s wrong with me?” the question becomes “What led me here?” This helps reduce shame and opens the door to change.

Recovery isn’t just about stopping a behaviour; it’s about building healthier ways to cope and creating a life where that behaviour is no longer needed. It takes time, support, and self-compassion, but meaningful change is possible.

Loneliness can affect anyone, even when life looks full from the outside. It’s that quiet feeling of being unseen, unheard, or disconnected, and it can take a real toll on your emotional wellbeing. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore these feelings, reconnect with yourself, and build meaningful connections at your own pace. Reaching out is not a sign of weakness—it’s a step toward feeling understood and supported.

If you feel support would be helpful, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Three thoughtful tips for managing the festive season

1. Have a clear idea of what’s important – if others are involved, discuss expectations, it’s good to chat ahead of time and prioritise what is important to you and others

2. Don’t feel too tied to traditions, it’s ok to do it differently and start your own

3. Make time for yourself – it can be easy to continually push yourself to give perfection, make sure you do things that give you pleasure – it’s your Christmas too!
And don’t forget that support is out there should you need it.
