The Gut-Brain Connection

The relationship between the gut and the brain is bi-directional and when you are experiencing difficulties with one, the other will be affected.

Having a gut heath condition can interplay with a number of important areas of life such as wellbeing, identity, social interactions, work and eating. It can sometimes be hard to feel like you are living the life that you would like to.

As trained Clinical Psychologists

we can offer you support and techniques to help navigate issues such as anxiety, stress, depression and trauma, while holding in mind the context of your gut health.
