What Is a Mental Health MOT – and Do You Need One This Summer?

This time of year can feel like a contradiction.

The world says "slow down, enjoy the sunshine", but real life doesn't always allow for that. Many of us are juggling work, parenting, summer camps, travel, school transitions, emotional overload — and no space to breathe.

As a therapist and a mum, I get how hard it is to find time (or money) for long-term therapy. Weekly appointments can feel impossible when you're already spread thin.

That’s why I’ve created something different this summer.

🌿 The Summer Mental Health MOT

It’s a one-off, 90-minute online session to help you take stock of where you are — emotionally, mentally, and practically — and gently reconnect with what you need next.

This is not full therapy. It’s not crisis intervention. It’s a pause.
A reset.
A chance to sit down (virtually) with someone who gets it, and say:

“Here’s what I’m carrying. What now?”

✨ What You'll Receive

• A structured, compassionate session with a qualified CBT therapist

• Optional wellbeing screening tools

• A brief written summary with insights, suggestions, and a gentle plan

• Tailored signposting to books, services, or next steps (if wanted)

• Emotional space — free of pressure, diagnosis, or long-term commitment

Whether you're navigating burnout, transition, heartbreak, parenting fatigue, or just an internal fog that won’t lift — this is a space to come home to yourself.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.”
— Anne Lamott

If this sounds like something you need, or if you're unsure and want to talk it through, get in touch via the Contact Page or email me directly at reflectionclinic@outlook.com.

Sometimes a single conversation — with space to think and feel — can be the beginning of a very different journey.
