Hello,

My name is Whitman. I'm a mental health professional for the NHS and I am currently working with children and young people. I really enjoy my job because I get to meet lots of new and interesting people, each with their own perspective and outlook on life. I wanted to join 7cups.com because this website has helped me in the past with my own difficulties and I would like to try and give something back. I'd be happy to try and help in whatever way I can.

Talking therapies are extremely helpful in getting us to explore our mental processes and ways of thinking. Sometimes our thoughts develop into a feedback loop, which can be really difficult, but making that leap and talking about it is often the first step to recovery.

I have experience with children, young people and adults' mental health. My interests are in developmental trauma, attachment in childhood, systems theory, and strengths based perspectives. I also have experience of every walk of life you can imagine, so don't worry you are unlikely to shock me.

If you'd like to talk feel free, I'll do my best to help.
