So, as a clinical psychologist, I have a weekly column @thetimes, for the past 17 years, replying to letters sent in. This is a recent column. My columns are not about me… but thanks @KScior for the kind words - which actually reflect what I suggested to the person who wrote in!

[Katrina Scior @KScior]

@thetimes @ProfTanya Hi love, you must have done something right if they feel able to tell you! 🤣🤣🤣

This is an update to a set of images I did a year ago, now with an inconsistent care cycle. I used to use this in Training a lot to thing about how behaviours we develop that are seen as maladaptive are actually highly adaptive.
Retweet only, do not copy. Thanks 😊

If there is one message we could tell everyone this #WorldMentalHealthDay, it would be that having a mental health problem is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone can struggle. Most of us will have to reach out for help at some point. And that’s ok.

[Mind @MindCharity]

Whatever you're going through, you're not alone.

We're here for you this #WorldMentalHealthDay and beyond.

Please like and retweet this post so we can reach someone who really needs to see it 💙

RIP to a woman of dignity and unflinching service to her country.

[Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition @CYPMentalHealth]

A new investigation by the BBC highlights the deep fears about the quality of mental health care that children and young people are receiving in hospitals.

We need urgent transformation to ensure every young person gets high quality and timely support.
