Anxiety
Anxiety is the most common mental health condition, affecting over 275 million people worldwide.

Feelings of sadness, lack of motivation and social withdrawal can persist and transform from mild depressive symptoms to severe depression quickly.

Anger Management
If you are noticing uncontrollable feelings of agitation, anger and aggression, you may be suffering from an anger problem.
Anger problems can have a significant impact on our ability to maintain relationships, perform to our best and enjoy life.
Accessing psychological support can help you to understand and get a hold of your anger.
-
Substance Abuse
Abuse and addiction towards drugs and/or alcohol can affect individuals from all ages and gender groups.
Addictive behaviour towards drugs or alcohol can take control over your life, and interfere with work performance, family relationships, financial stability and physical health.
If you believe you are developing an addiction towards alcohol or drugs, psychological intervention can support you greatly, to overcome and reduce these addictive behaviours.
-
Grief and Loss
Grief is the emotion we feel when we experience a loss.
This could be the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, a relocation, or a relationship breakdown.
We all grieve in different ways. For some, grief is easily overcome, whilst for others, it can take some time to pass.
Every individual grieves in their own way, dependent upon the extent of their loss and their emotions.
However, grief is a normal reaction to a significant loss, and with the right support, it can pass.
-
Trauma And Loss
For some, a significant or traumatic event can lead to long term mental disturbance.
If you have experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), you may experience recuring memories, nightmares or flashbacks related to the event.
Accessing appropriate support and treatment can help to reduce and manage these symptoms.
