It’s completely natural to feel low at times, especially in response to life’s challenges. However, when feelings of sadness persist for more than two weeks and are accompanied by changes in sleep, appetite, energy, concentration, or enjoyment in life, it may be a sign of depression. If your mood is affecting your ability to function day-to-day at work, in relationships, or within yourself, it may be time to seek professional support.

If you’re unsure, we encourage you to get in touch. An initial assessment at REST Therapy can help you better understand what you’re experiencing and explore the most supportive next steps.

Stress is typically a short-term response to a specific pressure or situation and often eases once the challenge is resolved. Anxiety disorders involve persistent, excessive worry or fear that may not be linked to a clear cause and can continue even after the original stressor has passed. If anxiety is affecting your sleep, work, relationships, or ability to manage daily life and especially if it's accompanied by physical symptoms it may be helpful to seek professional support.

If emotional, behavioural, or psychological difficulties are affecting your daily life, relationships, or work, or if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to resolve a concern on your own, professional input can be beneficial. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support; reaching out early can be helpful and meaningful, preventing issues from becoming entrenched, and helps you to decide whether therapy is the right fit.

Yes. Therapy is not limited to those with a clinical diagnosis. Many people seek support to better understand themselves, manage stress, navigate life changes, improve relationships, or explore their identity. Therapy can be helpful at any stage of life and for a wide range of reasons even if you’re simply feeling stuck or seeking to gain clarity during terms of uncertainty.

Your initial assessment session will focus on understanding what’s brought you to therapy and understand your current concerns. Collaboratively, you and the mental health professional will begin to develop a shared understanding of your needs and identify a therapeutic approach tailored to you.

At REST, confidentiality is a fundamental part of the therapeutic relationship.

Anything you share in sessions remains private and is handled in accordance with professional, ethical, and legal standards. Any limits to confidentiality, such as concerns about risk of harm to you or others will be clearly explained before therapy begins.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your goals and the nature of your difficulties. Some individuals benefit from brief, focused work, while others may engage in longer-term therapy. Your clinician will discuss this with you during the early stages of your work together.

It’s very common to experience more than one difficulty at the same time, and these are often interconnected. At REST, therapy offers a space to explore how your experiences relate to one another, helping you develop a deeper understanding of your patterns, triggers, strengths and responses. Rather than addressing each issue in isolation, we take a holistic approach in supporting you to make meaningful, lasting changes that enhance your overall wellbeing.

Progress is reviewed as an ongoing, collaborative process between you and the mental health professional. Regular check-ins, reflective dialogue, and evidence-based outcome measures are used to help evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. This approach allows us to adapt therapy as your needs evolve, ensuring it remains goal-focused and relevant. Feedback is always welcomed and plays a vital role in shaping a meaningful and responsive therapeutic experience.

Online therapy is a flexible and accessible option that works well for many people. It can be especially helpful if you value the convenience of attending sessions from home, travel frequently, or have limited time or access to in-person services. We are happy to explore this with you during your initial session to ensure it meets your needs and preferences.

REST offers evidence-based, clinically informed workshops and training programmes designed to increase awareness and deepen understanding of mental health, reduce stigma, and support early, effective and ongoing intervention.
Led by experienced clinicians and consultants, our training is tailored to meet the needs of organisations, schools, community groups, and teams across sectors.

Whether you're laying the foundation or building on existing efforts, we help equip people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to foster psychological wellbeing in the spaces they lead and serve.

Popular areas of focus include:

• Understanding the impact of anxiety, low mood, or trauma

• Responding to stress, burnout, and emotional overload

• Creating psychologically safe and supportive environments

• Building trauma-informed and culturally responsive practice

We also design bespoke sessions aligned to your context and priorities.

REST therapy is not an emergency or crisis service, and our team does not monitor emails or phone messages outside of working hours. If you need urgent help, we recommend contacting your GP for an emergency appointment or visiting the nearest hospital.

Therapy at REST is a collaborative process. Before beginning, we ensure that you have a clear understanding of what therapy involves and what to expect. Informed consent is always obtained, and your autonomy and choice are central throughout your care.

Yes. Not all therapy experiences are the same, and just because a previous approach or therapist didn’t work for you, it doesn’t mean therapy can’t be effective. At REST, we offer a variety of therapeutic modalities and have clinicians with diverse specialisations. An initial consultation will help us understand your unique needs and match you with the right therapist and approach that better aligns with your goals.

Yes, we offer therapy packages that allow you to book and pay for multiple sessions upfront, providing flexibility and convenience. Once you join our mailing list, you will gain access to detailed pricing options and session availability. Please note, the selection of a package may be influenced by the outcomes of your initial assessment, which helps determine the most appropriate support plan. If you have any questions about which package is right for you, our team is happy to assist you.
