Mental Health Support Resources

As a neurodiversity coach and trainer, I recognise the profound importance of understanding the boundaries coaching must have.

While coaching can offer invaluable support in personal and professional development, it is not a substitute for professional mental health care. For individuals facing mental health challenges, accessing appropriate support services is crucial. 

Seeking help for mental health challenges is a courageous and often important step towards well-being. Shown below is a range of charities and organisations dedicated to providing such assistance & resources, including their contact details.​

​Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
