Mental Health Awareness Week 2025: Connecting with Ourselves and Each Other

Contents

    Each year, Mental Health Awareness Week invites us to pause and reflect on how we understand and care for our mental health. At London Bridge Therapy, we believe that mental health is about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about cultivating well-being, resilience, and a deeper connection with ourselves and those around us.

    This year’s theme, “Movement: Moving More for Our Mental Health,” reminds us of the powerful link between body and mind. Movement—in any form—can lift our mood, ease anxiety, and help us feel more present. Whether it’s a walk across the bridge, a stretch at your desk, dancing at home, or playing with your children or pets, moving our bodies helps to regulate emotions and reduce stress.

    But movement isn’t just about the physical. Emotional movement is just as important. Are we allowing space for change, growth, and connection in our lives? Are we moving out of isolation and into relationship—with ourselves, with others, with the world around us?

    Why This Week Matters

    Mental Health Awareness Week is a national reminder that we all have an important role in looking after our mental health—and we all benefit from discussing this openly. It encourages conversations that reduce stigma and open up support for those who may be struggling silently.

    Here are a few ways to honour the week:

    • Move more intentionally – even a 10-minute walk can improve your mood.
    • Talk about mental health – with a friend, family member, or colleague.
    • Prioritise rest and emotional nourishment – your body and mind are connected.
    • Reach out for support – you don’t need to go through things alone.

    At London Bridge Therapy, our team of experienced therapists offers a warm, compassionate space for exploration, healing, and change. Whether you’re new to therapy or have been on this path for a while, we’re here to support your journey toward well-being.

    This Mental Health Awareness Week, let’s all take a step—however small—toward moving with care, curiosity, and connection.

    If you’d like to speak with one of our therapists or learn more about how therapy can support you – Get in touch

    Because mental health matters—not just this week, but every week.
