We're all traumatised to some extent. Certain types of #psychotherapy can help us process and heal #trauma. Please get in touch if you would like to explore this. I currently have slots available online, in room or in nature in #Chorlton & #Saddleworth #oldhamhour #recovery

Recommended listening, illustrating why difficult conversations are worth having and a 10-step plan for having them. In #psychotherapy and #MentalHealthFirstAid I regularly advocate for talking openly. bit.ly/3SaN3ny #relationship #MHFA #communication #oldhamhour

I recently enjoyed watching Henry Normal share some of his #poetry. 'Better Days' spoke to me of #gratitude & mindful acceptance, practices I regularly encourage my clients to engage in and gain great personal benefit from. #psychotherapy #mhfa #mentalhealthfirstaid #oldhamhour

Rather than judge #emotions as 'positive' or 'negative', it can be helpful to see them purely as indicators of whether our needs are being met or not. #Psychotherapy can help us acknowledge, accept & regulate our emotions. #nonviolentcommunication #mhfa #oldhamhour

Loved training these Mental Health Football legends in #MentalHealthFirstAid. With the skills & knowledge they’ve developed, they can effectively support attendees at MHF's free football sessions every Friday. Thanks to FalconBusinessCentre for providing a great training room. #mhfa #oldhamhour

We are holistic beings. #Psychotherapy and other spiritual practices can keep us connected to our 'four rooms'. Which of your rooms need an airing? How will you do that today? #oldhamhour #holisticwellbeing #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #emotionalhealth #spirituality

How do you listen? Deep listening is a vital skill in both my job roles: #psychotherapy and #mentalhealthfirstaid. It promotes safety & compassionate understanding. Contact Paul if you want to be heard or want to learn how to hear others: [email protected] #oldhamhour
