Self harm

Self-harm refers to the deliberate act of causing harm or injury to oneself. It often arises as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, difficulties in managing mental or physical challenges, or distressing memories.

Self-harm is considered an expression of personal distress rather than an illness, although it can be associated with other mental health conditions like depression.

It is more prevalent among teenagers and individuals affected by anxiety or depression.

At The Mind Body Clinic, we offer comprehensive support for individuals who are experiencing self-harming thoughts, engaging in self-harm behaviours, or for those concerned about someone they know. Our compassionate team is here to provide guidance, understanding, and help individuals develop healthier coping strategies.
