Domestic violence is physical, sexual, or psychological abuse directed towards one’s spouse, partner, or other family member within the household. Domestic abuse is a pattern of one person exerting coercive control over another. The one who abuses, uses physical and sexual threats, emotional insults, and financial deprivation to control and manipulate the victims. The aggression might be intermittent, infrequent, or chronic. Violence against women, particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women causes major public health problems and violations of women’s human rights.

Article | Psychotherapy
Despite increased mental health awareness and support from social media and celebrities, many people hesitate to start therapy due to stigma, fear, and misconceptions. The fear of being perceived as weak, the discomfort of opening up, and uncertainty about therapy often deter individuals. However, starting therapy is a courageous step toward personal growth and helps normalise seeking help. Promoting therapy as a routine part of self-care and debunking myths can bridge the gap between advocacy and action, leading to broader acceptance and understanding of mental health care.

Discovering ACT Therapy: A New Path to Mental Well-Being

Discovering ACT Therapy: A New Path to Mental Well-Being

Article | Other
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique form of therapy that helps you accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It focuses on taking positive action in line with your values to lead a fulfilling life. ACT Therapy benefits those dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, stress, OCD, and substance abuse. ACT revolves around six core principles: accepting your thoughts and feelings, distancing yourself from unhelpful thoughts, staying grounded in the present moment, recognizing you are more than your thoughts and feelings, identifying what is truly important to you, and taking steps towards living according to your values. Scientific research supports ACT's effectiveness. Studies have shown that ACT is as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression, improves functioning and quality of life for individuals with chronic pain, reduces stress levels and improves psychological flexibility, and helps reduce substance use by aligning actions with values. ACT Therapy offers a compassionate, holistic approach to mental health, encouraging you to thrive and lead a meaningful life.

Dysmorphophobia: Exploring the Sensory and Emotional Complexities

Dysmorphophobia: Exploring the Sensory and Emotional Complexities

Article | Emotions

This article explores the complexities of dysmorphia, a complex psychological condition characterized by intense and irrational fears about physical defects or perceived deformities. Although often confused with body dysmorphic disorder, dysmorphic disorder is markedly different, focusing on a fear of deformities and defects rather than an obsession with physical appearance. Individuals with this disorder experience perceptual distortions, leading to a distorted view of themselves, and may experience high levels of anxiety, depression, and feelings of embarrassment or shame about their appearance.


The sensory and emotional complexities of neurodistortive fear are explored, highlighting how it affects an individual's sensory perception and emotional world. Early intervention and cognitive behavioral therapy can be effective in helping individuals confront their fears and improve their body image. Relaxation techniques, meditation, art and music therapy can also be explored to enhance anxiety management and expression of emotions.


Awareness plays a crucial role in treating DD, as awareness campaigns can help reduce the feelings of embarrassment or shame that prevent individuals from seeking help. Community can play a supportive or obstructive role, as a strong support system can greatly improve outcomes, while social stigma and lack of understanding can increase an individual's isolation and anxiety. In conclusion, understanding the sensory and emotional complexities of neurodysmorphic fear is crucial to providing effective treatment, and ongoing research and awareness paves the way for improved treatment of individuals who struggle to accept their appearance and live with their fears.

If you are considering psychotherapy but do not know where to start, a free initial consultation is the perfect first step. It will allow you to explore your options, ask questions, and feel more confident about taking the first step towards your well-being.

It is a 30-minute, completely free meeting with a Mental Health specialist that does not obligate you to anything.

What are the benefits of a free consultation?

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.

Another key advantage for Specialist

Specialists offering free initial consultations will be featured prominently in our upcoming advertising campaign, giving you greater visibility.

It's important to note that the initial consultation differs from a typical therapy session:
