Mental health comprises our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we feel, think and act. It also is a determinant of how we handle stress. Thus, it is very important at every stage of life.
People who have good health can still have underlying emotional problems and mental health problems. This can be caused by a physical imbalance in the brain, stress, family problems and stressful work/education can make it worse.
With an estimated 1 in 4 people experiencing some form of mental illness, it's probable that you, or one of your loved ones, could be living with a mental health issue in silence.
Here at Unmasked Mental Health, our goal is simple, through our Hubs, Counselling Services and our Training provision, we want to provide safe, stable and regulated environments where people who are suffering from poor mental health can communicate with each other, get professional support and to educate employers and others on how to support people who may be struggling.
We are proud to partner with many other organisations within the communities we operate. Unmasked are a social prescriber service working in partnership with NHS England which means you can be referred to us for support directly from your GP.
Counselling:
The Unmasked Counselling Service aims to provide an affordable counselling service for local people. What does counselling offer and who is it for?
Counselling offers a safe space where you can talk about things that are impacting your life, feel listened to and understood. No issues are too small, whatever you need to talk about, if you want to talk about something then that’s what we’ll do. Sometimes the smallest of issues can be the key to your goals.
Counselling and psychotherapy is available for people who feel dissatisfied with how they feel and want to talk things through, gain insight, awareness and understanding of how to make positive choices and feel good about themselves and life around them.
