When it comes to relationships, it’s not always easy to walk away from something that isn’t good for us. We can find ourselves in what feels like an impossible situation where we feel trapped and unable to leave. This is often because we have developed a trauma bond with our partner.
When it comes to sex, many things go into deciding whether or not to do it. But when it comes to contraception – arguably one of the most critical aspects of safe sex – many people find themselves tongue-tied.

Women and men alike are abused emotionally, physically, verbally, and sexually. Abuse can vary, depending upon the situation, where the abuser chooses to inflict the harm. Mental Abuse is never right and being emotionally controlled is never acceptable.
Toxic or abusive relationship can be defined as a relationship characterised by behaviours on the part of one or both partners that are emotionally and/or physically harmful. These relationships are often destructive and can have long-term adverse effects on both individuals.
Counselling is a process that involves working with a trained professional to help you address and resolve personal issues or concerns. It can provide you with support and guidance and help you develop new skills and strategies for dealing with difficult situations. Counselling can be an important tool for self-care and can be helpful for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The weeks leading up to exams can be really tough for students. Not only do they have to worry about the material they’re learning, but they also have to contend with the added stress of worrying about how well they will do on the exams. This can lead to a lot of anxiety and even depression in some students. In this blog post, we will explore how exam stress can affect mental health and what students can do to manage it. Exam stress has almost doubled for GCSE’s and A Levels according to a recent insight from Childline. More than 200 sessions about exam worries took place in March 2022, nearly double the number of sessions in September 2021.
Counselling support for LGBTQ related issues is growing in popularity. For example, the Trevor Project (America), a national organisation providing crisis intervention to LGBT youth, reports that calls for its services have increased by 50% over the past five years. In addition, studies have found that members of the LGBTQ+ community are more likely to experience anxiety and depression than their heterosexual counterparts, which emphasises the importance of appropriate counselling provisions.
