It takes a lot of hard work to run a small business. As a business owner you are responsible for cash flow, complying with regulations and taxes, advertising, employing staff, and meeting the needs of your clients and customers. At the same time you also have family responsibilities, a social life, and your own personal interests and issues.
With all the pressure to run a business it isn’t uncommon for business owners to experience mental health issues such as:
- anxiety and stress
- depression
- substance abuse
- relationship issues with partners, children, and other family members.
Not getting help and support for these issues can lead to burnout, relationship breakdowns, and long-term health issues. Counselling can help you to develop coping strategies to manage stress, improve your communication skills, and explore how your strengths and values can bring value to your business and relationships.
Being a business owner means you don’t have a lot of time for yourself. All of my sessions are by Zoom so you don’t need to worry about rushing from place to place. I have written a blog about the benefits of online counselling here. If you have any concerns or questions about online counselling I’m happy to discuss them with you.
