About us

At the Talking Couch we are very passionate about what we do. We believe in a kinder, more inclusive, more balanced, more exciting world. We believe in this world so much that we are willing to stake our own future on it and live by what we “preach”.

Mental health has long been overlooked in our neo-liberal society, and we are starting to see the effects, even though the numbers are most likely underreported. In the medical world, if you are sick you go to the doctor, who will give you a diagnosis followed by a treatment, which in most cases is a pill. This does not work for mental health and wellbeing. Just as you take care of your body to prevent sickness, the same applies to your mental health. It is a continuous exercise to keep in balance. If that balance shifts too much to one side for too long, it becomes ever harder to return back to normal. Most mental health disorders build up slowly over time, the so-called “silent killers”. While prevention is the best option, healing is always possible even if the balance has shifted by a lot, yet this will require proper guidance and the willingness of the participant.

We believe that every person benefits from ongoing mental health exercises, such as mindfulness, yoga and mediation. We also strongly believe that every person can significantly improve their negatively affected mental health condition with the right treatment, and we are here to figure out the best way forward and guide you through it.
