It’s not always clear what’s meant by mental health and how it relates to mental illness, as well as how the two things differ. It’s important to have a good understanding of these terms, as well as the real-world impact behind them. After all, mental health is important to us all, whether we realise it or not.

  Anne was so great. She is extremely comfortable and very knowledgeable. Anne was able to help me overcome some old habits and was able to help me come to terms with my past. I would recommend her to anyone.

  I went to Anne with multiple Traumas . I was not Hopfull that it can help however my partner booked me in to see Anne .. Anne was very professional and wise. She tried alot to stop me from self sabotaging .. I am still dealing with anxiety day in day out however I feel more aware of my problems and also less aggressive and sensitive to some  triggers.. not all my problems are solved as it was just four sessions with Anne! we could just work with couple of the issues... however it did help and I see a change .. I recommend TRTP specially for those battling with PTSD !

  I've been seeing Anne Serrey for anger management and for TRTP as part of my court ordered diversion since April. I can comfortably say that slapping the guy that brought me to these counselling sessions was the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely life changing. I feel much lighter, I feel free, and unstuck for the first time since exiting my mother's uterus thirty odd years ago.

Thanks so much Anne for all your help and your continued support.

Highly recommend Anne's services.

  Anne is amazing, TRTP has changed my entire outlook on life, how I interact with people, and what I’m doing. In the few months since TRTP my life has honestly changed so much for the better, it’s beyond what I could have ever imagined. My friends and family are also noticing it! And amazingly, every day gets better. Thank you so much Anne!

  Well all I can say is that Anne has helped me get through some of the anger And trauma Been built up inside of me for years and I have not known how to deal with it. She took me step by step on to see how I could overcome these issues that were holding me back on achieving some of my greatest goals in life.

Thank you so much Anne 🙏🏾

  TRTP has completely changed the way I think about myself and the world around me.
The changes have been extraordinary in such a short space of time. I suddenly find myself walking forward with a new set of positive core beliefs which others are noticing on a daily basis
Anne supported me through the process with expertise, compassion and patience.
TRTP really does offer you a new launch pad from which to embark on a new journey.
I’m so grateful for having this opportunity to do this work with Anne

  I had been struggling with life and reliving my trauma for over 20 years, I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I was referred to Anne, who took me through The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) as that is the process that helped shift the past and get you to a better place.  Words cannot express how she turned my life completely around. For once, I am actually excited about life, I am actually thinking about my future. I feel like my life has been reset, I have a second chance and I am developing my life the way I want it to be, rather than the influences I was brought up with. Anne, I am indebted to you, thank you so much.

Expert Help with Mental Health Melbourne, Victoria

Mental Health

Your mental health is your condition regarding your emotional and psychological wellbeing. It relates to your feelings and thoughts and you’re dealing with things in life on an emotional level. There are many things that can impact it too.

Your social connections, things occurring in your life and how you’re dealing with problems all impact your mental health. The state of your mental health will affect how you think, how you see and perceive the world around you and how you act within it.

Mental Illness

So, how is mental illness different from mental health? As the name suggests, a mental illness is an illness that impacts the way a person thinks, feels or behaves. It can change how they interact with the people around them in negative ways. The exact symptoms all depend on the illness in question.

Mental illness is different to mental health because it’s possible to have poor mental health without having any kind of mental illness. Mental health is something that needs to be worked on and maintained, but mental illness is a whole other category of health.

The Importance of Good Mental Health

Maintaining good mental health is important because it can help us to remain balanced and reduce issues such as stress and anxiety. It helps us to stay in touch with those around us and interact with people in more positive and helpful ways.

Almost every aspect of life is improved by maintaining good mental health. When we don’t maintain our mental health, we can feel overwhelmed and unable to cope with the pressure of life and everything that comes with it, leading to a host of other stressful issues.

How to Improve Your Mental Health and Wellbeing

There are lots of things you can do to improve your mental health and wellbeing and to maintain it going forward. Physical activity and exercise are important, as well as having a good time and making positive connections with the people around us.

Sometimes, slowing down and taking the time to rest during busy and active periods in life can be important as well. If we overwork ourselves too much, it can put a big strain on our mental health and this is likely to show up elsewhere in our lives in ways that are unhelpful, such as addictions or anger issues. Sleep is another critical factor in maintaining a good balance.

Get Help When It’s Needed

Getting help is never a sign of weakness. If you’re struggling with your mental health, talking about it with a counsellor from The Melbourne Counselling Centre can make a huge difference. It’ll help you achieve a healthier and more positive balance for your mental health and prevent you from suffering a mental illness. So, if the stress in your life is becoming too much don’t wait until it gets worse, be proactive about your own mental wellbeing seek help and support that is available.
