When you're not able to see friends or go out you can feel trapped. It can help to notice the freedom you do have, even if it's much smaller than you're used to. It might be that you can choose to go to a different room, look out of the window, connect with friends online or set up a video call with relatives. Think of someone else who has less freedom than you and call or message them so they feel less alone.

It can be helpful to have a discussion with your class prior to the session to get them thinking about the topic (not essential). Encourage your class to make comments and ask questions - the session is not about right and wrong, it's a discussion where everyone's thoughts are valid. It's equally okay not to speak up during the session, as long as students are listening (we emphasise this point because some sensitive issues can come up and students may need to process these silently). If you show enthusiasm and interest in the session, from our experience, your class will too.

A sense of belonging and the opportunity to give and receive attention are essential human needs. Both of these needs can be met by developing and nurturing your social networks (offline and online). And when you’re struggling, asking for help from trusted people in your social circle helps them to feel needed. And it offers you an opportunity to offload, be comforted and get another perspective on your situation. Tapping into your social circle also paves the way for you to do the same in return. Being able to help others can be a great way to boost your mood.

Life with a chronic illness can feel lonely. Isolation, mental health issues, and physical restrictions all make it difficult to connect with other people and get the support you need. That’s why it’s essential to surround yourself with support, including your personal support system and professional support. We are fortunate to be able to have so much information and support available to us online - especially for the chronically ill, many of whom have a hard time getting out of their homes, or find that getting out is impossible.

The symptoms of anxiety conditions can appear suddenly or develop slowly over time. This sometimes makes it hard to notice. If you recognise these signs or symptoms in yourself or someone close to you, we’ll also help you find the support you need.

In this video, rhianan lowes explains more about person-centred therapy. Created in the 1950s by psychologist carl rogers, the person-centred approach ultimately sees human beings as having an innate tendency to develop towards their full potential. However, this ability can become blocked or distorted by certain life experiences, particularly those experiences which affect our sense of value. The therapist in this approach works to understand an individual’s experience from their perspective. The therapist must positively value the client as a person in all aspects of their humanity while aiming to be open and genuine. This is vital in helping the client feel accepted, and better able to understand their own feelings.
