Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year (Mind UK)
In England, 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week (Mind UK)
Counselling Directory : Please click Here
Counselling Directory is a resource hub which enables individuals struggling with their emotional well-being to find a qualified and insured counsellor. Counselling Directory was set up by a team who know how difficult it can be to find the right support, and we’re passionate about connecting people to the support they deserve.
As well as providing a directory of counsellors, we also share free advice and guidance from counsellors through our expert articles. We also list counselling organisations and charities who offer free or low concession counselling. To ensure the professionalism of our website, all counsellors have provided us with their proof of membership with a professional body.
