Self-care takes practice, like athletes training for a match. In order for them to be at their best, they require a holistic approach to training regularly, even in the off-season. Similarly, all of us need to practice self-care in all aspects of our lives daily so that we can perform at our best. A good way to start is by assessing where you’re at this point and then making a plan to improve. Here, at MentCouch we help you to start that journey and guide you to keep going.
Our Wellbeing Services are affordable, enjoyable and effective ways to deal with everyday stressors and a form of relaxation for everyone.

Wellbeing is an essential component of excelling in life. Maintaining your wellbeing requires intentionality, reflection, and a commitment to choosing thoughts and behaviors that help you to be at your best. Most times it is difficult to identify these areas alone and that is when a professional wellbeing screening becomes vital.
Health is more than the absence of disease! In order to live a long, productive, and fruitful life, it is important to function optimally. To achieve optimal functioning one must:

If you simply want to come and talk to a mental health professional just about anything at all and not spend heavily by doing so, we can surely make that happen.

Art therapy is a form of therapy predicated on the belief that artistic expression has the power to help us in healing, relaxation or simply in chilling out. They require no artistic background — in fact, the art is less about the final product, and more about the transformation that occurs along the way.
If you’re like most adults, you probably don’t express yourself with art as you did when you were a kid. You may not think you’re any “good” at creating art, or you may not think it’s worth your time, but art is actually a valuable pastime. There are many reasons that art is a great stress relief tool, even for those who don’t consider themselves artistically inclined. Whether you could give Vincent Van Gough a run for his money or can barely draw a circle, art is a fantastic way to reduce stress.
Results of a 2016 study published in the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association found that just 45 minutes of creative activity can reduce your stress, regardless of artistic experience or talent.
Have you ever been so engrossed in an activity to the point of being in a near-meditative state? If so, you might have been experiencing what positive psychologists refer to as flow. Similar to meditation, flow can lead to lower stress levels. Here, at MentCouch, we encourage everyone to take a time out from their daily life and emerge in a journey of self-expression or flow with our specifically designed expressive art therapies. IT IS FOR EVERYONE!
If you feel like bringing your friends or family along, you are more than welcome to do so. If you want to do it in complete solitude, it is your call. Our expert psychologists will guide the process and let you be.
If you want us to arrange an “art & bonding” session for a group of friends/colleagues, just get in touch. It is a low-cost way to bring your team/friends closer together and reduce workplace/general stress.
Yoga therapy involves the entire body, including the mind. There is a connection between your mind, body and spirit. Healing just one of these does not lead to total recovery. It’s important to heal all three areas. Yoga therapy helps you do just that.
It is a practice that incorporates breathing techniques, yoga poses, meditation and mindfulness into yoga teachings and practice. This is so you can experience both mental and physical improvements, so you can experience all benefits. Designating a class as “therapeutic” implies that an instructor has additional training and years of experience with different forms of therapy that can be implemented through yoga practice. This could be the application of musculoskelatal (bones and muscles) knowledge, brief counseling, mirroring, breath work incorporated in the teaching of yoga. Our therapeutic yoga sessions are good for beginners and people of all ages and fitness levels. You can either schedule a group or individual session with us.
Prenatal yoga can be a great way to prepare for childbirth. Much like other types of childbirth-preparation classes, prenatal yoga is a multifaceted approach to exercise that encourages stretching, mental centering and focused breathing. Prenatal yoga is safe and can have many benefits for pregnant women and their babies like:
