Support for Self Harm
at Evolving Minds Counselling

Self-harm is often a way of coping with emotional pain that feels overwhelming or difficult to express. While it may bring temporary relief, it can lead to increased distress over time, affecting relationships, well-being and day-to-day life.

​

Self-harming behaviours may include cutting, burning, substance misuse, or disordered eating. Although commonly linked to adolescence, self-harm can occur at any age and may be a one-off response or develop into a longer-term pattern.

​

There is no single cause. It may be linked to anxiety, depression, trauma, bullying, low self-esteem or intense feelings of shame and isolation. 

​

Evolving Minds Counselling offers professional support for individuals who self-harm, as well as parents seeking help. Our clinicians provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s driving the behaviour and build healthier ways of coping.

 

We use evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and trauma-informed approaches to support emotional regulation, reduce urges to self-harm and improve self-worth.
