Wellbeing FAQs

Common questions from our customers

What help is out there?

First and foremost, if you are struggling with stress, anxiety, or any mental health issue, we recommend seeing your GP. The material we have collated is for self-help, and for learning about the principles of mind and thought. You can use the NHS 111 service online to help and advice with triage. Depending on the situation they will offer a range of outcomes, from calling emergency services to arranging a 111 call with a nurse. Outside the NHS you may wish to consult a doctor or specialist privately. If you prefer to read / study / investigate things on your own, there are various places to look that you might find useful, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Clarity, and The Little Book of Clarity, Sydney Banks & the 3 principles (3Ps), Hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and many others!
