Supporting Wellbeing in Healthcare: Alice Shares Her Counselling Journey

At Priors Hall Dental, we know that looking after your health goes beyond your smile. Mental wellbeing plays an important role in every aspect of life, including how we care for ourselves, our colleagues and our patients.

Our front of house, Alice, recently had the opportunity to share her personal experience of counselling in a video interview for BetterHelp. Lewis Capaldi had donated 734,000 hours of free therapy through his partnership with BetterHelp to help more people access support. This support helped Alice and she got the opportunity to meet him in person as a surprise!

Alice spoke openly and honestly about how counselling has positively impacted her own life. We're incredibly proud of her willingness to share her story, as conversations around mental health can help reduce stigma and encourage others to seek support when they need it.

Working in healthcare, including dentistry, means supporting people every day. While our role is to care for patients' oral health, we also recognise the importance of compassion, empathy and wellbeing - for both patients and the professionals who care for them. Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.

Thank you, Alice, for bravely sharing your story with such honesty and courage. We hope your story reminds others that asking for support is a sign of strength, and that help is available when it's needed
