It is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is Kindness.

Many of us are suffering from the stress that uncertainty brings and, within the chaos, it is easy to forget the importance of self-kindness.

Self-kindness has been proven to help reduce stress. By using mindfulness we can have a balanced approach to our thoughts and feelings as they are, without trying to suppress or deny them.

Over the next four weeks we have partnered with Alan Ross of ARK Associates to deliver 4 sessions offering a deeper understanding of mindfulness.

We will cover mindfulness in the workplace; patterns of thinking, developing stress-reduction strategies and improving problem solving and creativity.

Why not sit down with a quiet cuppa and join our early Friday morning sessions to set you up for the weekend and learn new techniques to tackle the week ahead?

As we reflect on the importance of self-kindness during Mental Health Awareness Week, it’s also an opportune time for those considering a career in mental health to explore the rewarding path of becoming a therapist.

Starting your own practice offers the flexibility to tailor your approach to the needs of your clients, creating a supportive and empathetic environment where they can work through their challenges.

Whether it’s offering mindfulness techniques, stress-reduction strategies, or helping clients build healthier thought patterns, a private practice allows you to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

For those wondering how to start a private practice, it’s essential to focus on the practical steps, from securing the right qualifications and certifications to developing a business plan that ensures sustainability.

By integrating mindfulness and other evidence-based practices into your services, you can offer clients the tools they need to manage their mental health while building a fulfilling career that centers on compassion and care.
