Counselling is Gym for the mind.
People generally don’t think twice about accessing a gym or talking about different gym routines or exercises. However, this cannot be said with regards to accessing therapy or talking about mental health. It seems that talking about our physical health is not so stigmatising as talking about our psychological health.
Counselling doesn’t have to be done in a chair in an office. Lukas Winward Counselling uses an active approach and finds that physical activity like walking and talking, shooting a basketball, kicking a footy can be very effective. The body naturally releases endorphins when you are moving and physical activity is an important step to create positive change particularly with young people.
