Divorce can be one of life’s most emotionally challenging transitions. When children are involved, the process becomes even more complex. Co-parenting after separation requires emotional resilience, effective communication, and ongoing self-reflection. It’s a journey that doesn’t end with the legal paperwork; it evolves day by day, shaped by how parents manage conflict, maintain stability, and prioritise their own mental wellbeing. Therapeutic perspectives such as Person-Cent

Each year, from 25 November to 10 December , communities across the world participate in the 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence —a global campaign dedicated not only to raising awareness but also to inspiring meaningful action to end abuse. In the UK, these 16 days highlight the continuing need for prevention, early intervention, compassionate support, and structural change. Domestic violence affects individuals of all genders, ethnicities, social backgrounds, and ag

Each year, Disability History Month invites us to pause, reflect, and learn from the stories of disabled people throughout history. It is a time to recognise not only the inequalities and barriers that many continue to face, but also the resilience, wisdom and contributions of disabled communities. At The Wellbeing Therapy Hut, we believe this month also offers a meaningful opportunity to explore the connection between disability, wellbeing, and therapeutic support. Understan

November, often marked by Movember moustaches and growing conversations about men’s health, provides a vital opportunity to focus on men’s mental wellbeing . While the campaign often highlights physical health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, an equally urgent conversation is unfolding around men’s mental health  and the role therapy can play in changing lives. Despite increasing awareness, many men continue to struggle in silence. Societal expectations, traditi

Every year, National Stress Awareness Day  offers an important reminder to pause and reflect on how stress affects our lives — and what we can do to manage it more effectively. In a fast-paced world where constant demands and responsibilities often take their toll, understanding stress and learning how to respond to it is essential for maintaining both mental and physical wellbeing. What is Stress? Stress is a natural response to pressure. It can be triggered by work, relati

Every year, Alcohol Awareness Week offers a chance to pause and reflect on how alcohol features in our lives. In the UK, this campaign is coordinated by Alcohol Change UK, and in 2025 it ran from 7–13 July  under the theme “Alcohol & Work” . Whether you’re an employee, employer, freelancer or carer, the connection between work, stress, culture and drinking is one often overlooked. This week is a good moment to ask: Am I drinking more than I realise? Is alcohol affecting my w

October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month , a time to shed light on an issue that too often hides behind closed doors. Domestic abuse affects people from all walks of life — regardless of gender, age, sexuality, or background. In the UK alone, an estimated 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men  will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Raising awareness is not only about recognising abuse but also about empowering survivors and offering hope for recovery. Understanding Domestic

Every October, OCD Awareness Week gives us an important opportunity to shine a light on one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Despite being a common term in everyday conversation, OCD is often misrepresented. Phrases like “I’m a bit OCD about cleaning” or “I like things neat – I must have OCD” can unintentionally trivialise what is, for many people, a deeply distressing and life-disrupting condition. So, what exactly is
