Past experiences can have
a profound effect on how we
feel about ourselves in the
present. If we are negative
this can start a downhill
spiral. Depression can also be
caused by a past trauma for
example, being at war or being
raped. Sometimes, feelings
of depression can appear for
what seems like no reason.
Try keeping a record of
negative and mood lowering
thoughts and then challenge
them. Write down for and
against points for each thought
and look at other ways to view
the situation. The aim is to
make a positive out of your
negative thoughts.
During periods of depression,
it’s important to look after
yourself by keeping active.
The less you do the less you
want to do, so set yourself
small goals each day.
Most importantly, seek help.
See a Counsellor or go to
a self-help group. It’s also
important to discuss this issue
with your GP, as they may
be able to prescribe some
antidepressants in certain
cases.
Your GP can set you up with
six counselling sessions. A
counsellor may work with
problem solving therapy which
will break down your problems
into a more manageable
size and discuss coping
mechanisms and techniques.
Your counsellor may also work
with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy) to challenge negative
thought patterns. My personal
opinion is that it’s important
to explore what triggered the
depression so you have a key
understanding as to why it
started.

Some people with depression
do have suicidal thoughts, so
please don’t feel that you’re
going mad or alone in this.
If this happens, please tell a
friend or family member and
your GP. You’ll be amazed at
how much better you will feel
just for telling somebody. By
telling your GP, he/she can
monitor your progress and put
you in touch with a therapist or
other support groups.

more adrenalin and increases
the problem. Your digestive
system can slow down to allow
more blood to the muscles,
which can sometimes cause
a dry mouth. These changes
enable the body to take action
and protect itself in dangerous
situations, hence the saying
‘fight or flight’.
It’s normal to feel worried
about life and your problems
from time to time. Examples of
such worries can include public
speaking, a driving test or
having an injection. However,
when worry affects everyday
life you may be suffering from
anxiety.

8ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGE
Acceptance plays a huge part
in helping with anxiety issues.
Knowing what is wrong with
you and accepting it is the first
step to achieving what you
want.
Change, on the other hand,
is more difficult because
to get better you will have
to challenge yourself and
change.
Understanding what is wrong
with you is the key to getting
better. Understand it, accept it,
and change it. It sounds easy in
theory, but believe me; it might
be the biggest challenge you
have ever had to endeavour.
Taking small steps daily is the
key, do not look at the whole
picture or it may feel like a
big mountain to climb and you
might give up before you get
started.
It is so easy to have a mental
health problem and through
lack of understanding feel
scared and alone. Try to be
understanding of your fears
instead of being hard on

branding
A successful set of brand guidelines can revolutionise the way it is seen in the eyes of the public. A brand is so much more than a logo; it’s imagery, fonts, colours and tone-of-voice.

website design
I create websites that blend the personality of the brand and the requirements for its use seamlessly. They’re not just design-led, they’re also created to be practical for everyday use.
