We all experience low mental wellbeing from time to time. Pressure at work, money worries, relationship issues and the general stresses and strains of day-to-day life, mean that we all occasionally feel anxious, overwhelmed, angry or sad. Having those thoughts or feelings is perfectly normal.
But left unchecked, long periods of low mental wellbeing can prevent us from having the life we want, and can sometimes develop into diagnosable mental health problems. Being able to spot when something isn’t quite right means you can reach out, ask for or offer support and take steps to get things back on track.

BROWSE ALL COURSESCounselling is a chance for you to talk to someone who will listen without judgement.
Often it’s simply the relief of saying something aloud and not bottling your feelings up that helps you feel better. But talking things through with someone impartial can also help you find new ways to resolve problems.
You might be under pressure or unhappy at work but unsure how to make a change. You might be struggling with the pressure of exams. Or you might have been through a traumatic experience. Sometimes there’s no obvious reason why you feel the way you do. And that’s okay too.
