Our Overcoming Low Mood course introduces you to some helpful techniques to improve how you feel.
It’s also an opportunity to meet others who may be feeling similarly to you, although the session is not group therapy and you will not be asked to share your personal experiences with others.
The course is free and runs for five weeks, with a 90 minute online session each week.

- I want to learn techniques to manage my mood
- I am aged 18 or over
- I can attend all sessions
- I am willing to practice some of the techniques at home between sessions
- I am happy to be involved in a group format
A bit more about the course
The course is run on Microsoft Teams by two of our experienced Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners.
The Overcoming Low Mood course is one of our Improving Wellbeing Sessions which aims to improve your understanding of low mood and give you practical techniques to help make changes to feel better.
Each session is 90 minutes long with a break half way through.
You will be provided with a downloadable course handbook with some techniques for you to practice at home.
Below you can see the different topics we will cover each week.
The first session begins by defining what low mood is and how it can affect us. You will also prepare for the next five sessions by setting goals to work towards.
The second session focuses on how low mood can affect motivation and how we can start doing more to feel better.
The third session identifies how unhelpful thinking can affect mood and how this can be managed by challenging unhelpful thoughts and thinking more realistically.
The fourth session includes information about health behaviours that can improve mood. There is also a guide to a technique that can help us solve practical problems.
The final session brings everything we have learned so far together and helps you maintain the progress you have made as well as prepare for the future.
