Your emotional health affects mental health, and can cause anxiety and depression. It can also affect your relationship with food, causing unhealthy eating patterns. 

Your emotional health can affect your behaviour - you might withdraw or isolate, or become emotionally dysregulated, leading to spontaneous crying or angry outbursts. 

It can impact your brain health, causing brain fog, difficulty concentrating and reducing your work performance. 

Lacking energy, sleeping too much, or too little.

Having negative thoughts, or unkind self talk. 

Using drugs, alcohol or food as a source of comfort is a symptom of poor emotional health. Though they can help numb pain, in the long run, they worsen symptoms.

Emotional health can be affected by a number of things - historic and recent trauma, your nutritional status, hormonal health, toxin levels and thyroid health among many other things. 

Past trauma might include things like sexual or domestic abuse - or it could be less obvious, like bullying throughout your school years, or having a parent who shouted a lot when you were a child. 

Your emotional health is largely informed by your formative years and how responsive caregivers were to your needs. You might not even remember any mistreatment - but still have difficulty feeling safe or regulating your emotions now. That’s because lots of your emotional wellbeing was defined when you were pre-verbal. 

Changes in your health status - getting older and being diagnosed with a condition.

External pressures from relationships, work, finances, unstable home environments. 

Grief whether caused by the loss of a relationship, loss of identity, or death.

Our practitioners take an integrated approach when it comes to your emotional health. 

Our naturopaths explore physical factors for your emotional health, using testing to confirm their diagnosis, before creating a treatment plan to rebalance your body and fulfil any nutritional gaps. 

Our counsellors, psychologists and psychotherapists can provide you with coping mechanisms to support your day to day functioning. They can help you manage emotional dysregulation and everyday stresses. Our psychologists and psychotherapists can help you work through trauma and its effects, at your pace. 

Cranial osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, acupuncture and energy healing can provide you with ‘bottom up’ therapy. These modalities work with your body and energy first - and through their connection to the emotional and mental, help heal your emotional wellbeing. These therapies work with your nervous system, making them useful for those with sleeping problems, or who aren’t yet ready to talk with a therapist. 

Homeopathy also offers therapeutic support for those not ready for counselling. 

You can start wherever you like - and if you’d like to explore another modality, our practitioners can recommend another service for your needs.
