Say Hi to Helen Duyvestyn of One Life - Mental Health & Wellbeing Coach in New Zealand

Why do we need mental health coaching?

Our minds can be very complex little things, can't they?! We are all so hard on ourselves while putting every single person above our own needs - until we realise we have lost our own identity in pursuit of making everyone else happy.

We eat when we can, our sleep suffers, we run ourselves into the ground taking on anything and everything people ask of us, and we end up exhausted and feeling like something is wrong with us? Somewhere we lost the ability to say "no".

Sound familiar? Yes, we hear you. I hear you!

This has been something that has been on my mind for quite some time.

And something I have been trying to get my head around for a while.

I know so much has been written about it and I know that there have been all sorts of ideas and suggestions to 'throw away your day job and travel the world'. And that's all very well and good (if that's what you want to do). But it's not at all possible.

Is it?
