Three nights of sleep loss can negatively impact our mental and physical health
A new study looked at the consequences of sleeping fewer than six hours for eight consecutive nights – the minimum duration of sleep that experts say is necessary to support optimal health in average adults.
Researchers found that three consecutive nights of sleep loss can have a negative impact on both mental and physical health.
They also found that sleep deprivation can lead to an increase in anger, frustration, and anxiety, and reduced physical wellbeing, including gastrointestinal and respiratory problems.

Telephone Counselling is as Effective as Face-to-Face
A recent research study indicates that, "...similar clinical outcomes can be achieved via the telephone as are obtained in face-to-face [therapy]".
Furthermore, the alliance between therapist and client, as well as levels of empathy, attentiveness, participation and openess, are equivalent as in face-to-face therapy.

To maximise your safety and wellbeing at this time, I can provide telephone counselling, where appropriate.
I have completed specialist telephone counselling training in order to offer this option.
