Help Counselling Services

This is why we do what we do 💚

Ash came for counselling over the last year, and now he wants to give something back so that more men can get the support they need.

So, for Men’s Mental Health Month this November, he’s set himself one hell of a challenge!

200km of walking during November, wearing a weighted vest. And just to make it harder, he’ll add another 750g of weight every day until he’s carrying an extra 22.5kg by the end of the month. 😳

Ash is hoping to raise £2,000 for HELP, helping us continue to provide affordable counselling to people in our community.

We think he’s absolutely brilliant for doing this and for being so open about having needed some help himself. Men talking about their mental health really does matter.

So come on everyone, let’s get behind him! Sponsor him, share his page, join him for a few miles if you fancy it – and help us get Ash to that £2,000.

A wonderful creative safe space for young people, run by the fantastic Wiltshire Mind. Services like this are so needed. They are currently raising funds to support their mental health services with young people, and every contribution helps make a difference. There are simply too few places in Wiltshire offering this kind of support, and they do it with such care, compassion and dedication.

A brand-new Young People’s Creative Wellbeing Group is launching in Corsham this August, offering a welcoming, inclusive space where young people can connect, create, and explore new activities in a relaxed and supportive environment. The six-week programme is designed for young people aged 12 to ...

This graph stopped me in my tracks too.

One of the biggest misconceptions about menopause is that it all starts after your periods stop.
It doesn't.

Many symptoms begin during perimenopause, years before your final menstrual period. Brain fog, mood changes, sleep disruption, and hot flashes often increase during the transition, but they don't all peak at the same time.

And menopause isn't the finish line either. Some symptoms improve after menopause, while others, especially genitourinary symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful s*x, urinary urgency, and recurrent UTIs, often become more common and may continue to worsen without treatment.

Understanding when different symptoms are most likely to occur can help you recognize what's happening in your body, advocate for yourself, and know that many of these symptoms are treatable.

Which part of this graph surprised you the most?
