The most common presenting mental health issues in a doctor’s surgery are Anxiety, Depression, PTSD/Trauma and Personality Disorders.  But what does a clinical diagnosis actually mean for the counsellor?

Today’s session will focus on how we can support clients who have been given a mental health diagnosis, without feeling out of our depth.  Dr Chris will explore both the benefits and limitations of a condition being given a ‘name’, and what might present in the room.  He will address what helps and what doesn’t, including common misunderstandings.

Research tells us that Burnout is increasingly present in life, not simply as exhaustion, but as a deeper signal that something in a person’s way of living, relating, or being has become unsustainable.
