With the Covid lockdowns fast fading into recent history and the return to work almost complete, many families are left facing mental health difficulties. These range from feelings of anxiety, depression, loss, anger, sadness, panic attacks, low moods and self-esteem, to increased tensions in relationships and trouble coping day to day. Newspapers are reporting unprecedented increases in substance abuse, domestic violence and self-harm. Sadly, professionals in highly paid, high pressure roles are as susceptible to relationship difficulties and problems with family members, as anyone else. If you or your family are experiencing personal distress in these difficult times you can get professional help quickly and discretely from a CIO Development Relate-trained counsellor. Simply contact nicola.platts@ciodevelopment.com for a private consultation.
Message from our lead counsellor:
Everyone can have periods when they need help to work through personal difficulties and problems. I frequently saw this in my role of HR officer in a big 4 accounting firm in London and it is what first drew me to retrain. Since then I have worked for Relate for 10 years and completed over 3,000 hours of counselling with individuals and couples, teenagers and young people. Common issues include lack of communication, break-ups, affairs, and domestic violence both physical and mental.
