A new approach to self-help for the mind is coming to Stafford.

Not so much about ‘positive thinking’ or self-help mantras, the Emotional Wellbeing course is about achieving balance in both body and mind to boost mental and emotional health.

Designed by 42-year-old psychotherapist and yoga teacher, Sue Tupling, the eight week course relieves the symptoms of anxiety and depression using the latest in psychophysiology and neuroscience to give people simple yet powerful techniques they can practice themselves. The classes will introduce people to practices drawn from coherent breathing, mindfulness and deep relaxation techniques, yoga and self relations psychotherapy.

Sue believes that most people don’t know how to take care of their mental and emotional health – and GP surgeries are overwhelmed with people who need help.

“In Staffordshire alone, almost one in four people attend their GP surgery for mental-health related problems, and in the UK the number of prescriptions issued for antidepressant drugs has risen significantly.

The eight week course is funded by Staffordshire County Council’s wellbeing fund and is non-profit making and includes CD/DVD, workbooks and other resources for people to use at home.
