Whether your goal aligns with one of these or you have a unique and specific reason for seeking coaching, choosing to begin this journey of self-improvement is a proactive step towards regaining control of your life and equipping yourself with evidence-based knowledge and skills that will enhance your mental health and wellbeing for a lifetime. At Person Centre, we understand the significance of this decision and are dedicated to providing the support and guidance you need on your journey towards a healthier and happier life.
At Person Centre, we adopt a blended coaching approach of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychology.
We offer practical tools and techniques to manage depression, anxiety, and stress. CBT helps challenge negative thinking and develop healthier coping mechanisms, while positive psychology focuses on building positive emotions, strengths, and resilience. By combining these approaches, individuals can better manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, leading to improved overall well-being and effective stress management.

Who can benefit from Mental Health Coaching?
Our resources cater to individuals who are 16 years or older and have at least one of the following goals (but not limited to):
-
simply interested in how Positive Psychology can help them maximize their potential and flourish in various aspects of their lives, such as work, study, relationships, and beyond.
-
find themselves in "mental subhealth" - a state between mental health and mental illness, where a person may not have a diagnosed mental illness but experiences symptoms or struggles with their mental well-being. It can include symptoms such as stress, anxiety, mild depression, and difficulty coping with daily life. Mental subhealth is not a clinical diagnosis, but rather a concept used to acknowledge and address mental health concerns before they develop into more critical conditions.
-
look for evidence-based tools to manage mild to moderate mental health problems, such as depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic, Phobia, and Insomnia.
Mental Health Check-in Test
We offer a free initial screening test for depression and anxiety, based on our clinical experience in NHS England. While this test is not a diagnostic tool, it can provide you with a general sense of your mental well-being in terms of the level of depression and anxiety. You can also find out if we are the right service for you.

What are the limits of the Person Centre?There is no magical bullet. We don’t have the answers of what to do with your life and we cannot do the work for you. Our work is a collaborative and active process based on the guided self-help model. We can guide you to get deeper insights into your situation based on psychological science, and, together, we identify strategies and tools that can help. It does require you going away and putting them into practice to make a real change. We are a confidential service with the exceptions if there are concerns about your safety, or the safety of others. We are not a crisis service. Please contact these services if you need immediate mental health support. We are not able to offer you a formal mental health diagnosis. We are not trained to support you to manage certain mental health conditions. If we cannot offer support, we will try our best to signpost you to other services that better suit your needs. We cannot offer support while you are receiving other therapies. We have zero tolerance for aggressive, violent or abusive behaviour.

How is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy different from Counselling?Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. CBT does not remove your problems, but helps you manage them in a more effective way. It encourages you to examine how your actions and thoughts can affect how you feel. CBT is an active therapy and you will be expected to work on your problems between sessions, trying out different ways of thinking and acting, as agreed with your therapist. The aim is for you to develop the skills to become your own therapist. CBT is usually a short-term treatment. For example, a traditional course of CBT may consist of between 6-12 sessions. CBT differs from other types of psychotherapies because it is: pragmatic – it helps identify specific problems and tries to solve them highly structured – rather than talking freely about your life, you and your therapist will discuss specific problems and set goals for you to achieve focused on current problems – it is mainly concerned with how you think and act now rather than attempting to resolve past issues collaborative – your therapist will not tell you what to do; they will work with you to find solutions to your current difficulties Counselling is another type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential environment. It helps individuals who want to understand issues causing their distress. It can provide a safe and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult feelings. This approach encourages reflection and exploration of underlying conflicts, as well as providing a listening, supportive and containing experience. Counselling can help you to: cope with a bereavement or relationship breakdown cope with redundancy or work-related stress explore issues such as sexual identity deal with issues that are preventing you from achieving your ambitions deal with feelings of depression or sadness, and have a more positive outlook on life understand yourself and your problems better feel more confident develop a better understanding of other people's points of view
