One-to-one talking therapy
There’s a vast amount of research that shows how beneficial counselling can be for dealing with the ups and downs of life. To put accessible mental healthcare in the hands of everyone in the drinks industry, we’ve teamed up with online therapy service Dr Julian, to offer one-to-one sessions with highly experienced therapists and psychologists through video chat, telephone, and text messages. The service provides a secure and caring environment where they listen and treat you as the unique individual that you are, which in turn allows you to focus fully on your health.
Members of the drinks hospitality industry can access the Dr Julian services at no cost to themselves. For those struggling with ongoing and significant concerns, The Drinks Trust will consider funding ongoing treatment, although these will be granted only in circumstances of significant ongoing need.
Some of the issues we can help with include..
ANXIETY
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, which can be mild or severe. We all have feelings of anxiety at some point in our life which may be brought about by having to sit an exam, have a doctors appointment or a job interview.
STRESS
Stress is our body’s way of responding to any kind of threat. Some common things that can make us feel stress include experiencing something new or unexpected, something that threatens your feeling of self, or feeling you have little control over a situation.
DEPRESSION
Depression is characterized by persistent sadness, and low moods and affects your everyday life. It is a common mental health disorder experienced through feelings of guilt, low self-worth, poor sleeping, low energy and poor concentration.
