Better sleeping

Sleep can be affected by many things, such as stress, anxiety, other health issues, drug and alcohol use, shift work or a chaotic routine.

Goal setting

Looking after yourself is one of the most important contributions you can make to you, and to those you love.

Progressive relaxation

When we are hurt or troubled, we want to be soothed. While it is good to lean on others, we can also learn fresh ways to soothe ourselves.

Setting boundaries

We set personal boundaries because they are an important ingredient of healthy relationships.

Problem solving

When people are under pressure, it is not uncommon for them to feel overwhelmed and anxious.
