My Qualifications & Intentions

• This is peer-support and while I am working toward gaining a level 3 Counselling Skills Diploma, I am not a licenced mental health practitioner or professional.
• As a peer supporter, my role is to offer understanding, share lived experiences, and guide you toward helpful resources, but I cannot provide professional counselling or therapy.
• The resources on this website are not intended to treat specific mental health disorders.
• The resources provided are meant to empower you with tools for self-care and emotional wellbeing, not to replace professional mental health care.
• Please only use resources that resonate with you. You are your own best advocate when it comes to your mental health journey. I encourage you to trust your instincts and choose the resources that work best for you.
• Stop using a resource if you are confused by it, or feel it is not supporting you in the way you need.
• Seek additional support from a professional if you feel you need more individualised guidance. 
• Please reach out to an emergency support service if you require urgent help.
• By accessing and using the resources on this website, you acknowledge that you are doing so at your own discretion. Finding Hoppiness and Lydia are not responsible for your wellbeing or the outcomes of using these resources.

What Makes Our Content and Worksheets Trustworthy?

I'm currently pursuing an accredited Level 3 Counselling Skills Diploma. While this doesn’t qualify me as a counsellor, it’s given me valuable tools to guide this website. The main mission of Finding Hoppiness is to help people, and doing so ethically is important! All information on Finding Hoppiness, as well as the free resources provided, are steeped in deep research and proven methods backed by qualified counsellors and therapists. On each page, you'll find the sources cited.

As someone with personal experience with various mental illnesses, whether something experienced myself, or through a loved one, all resources have been created with you in mind. Many worksheets found online are aimed at counsellors to use directly with their patients - they look uninspiring and daunting, often leaving out vital information on how to use these effectively by yourself!

But here on Finding Hoppiness, our worksheets are aimed directly at you, not at therapists. They have been broken down into relatable, step-by-step and easy to understand methods to help you on your path to mental wellness. 

Thanks for being here and joining us on this journey. Whether you’re here for mental health tips, relatable stories, or simply to find a little hoppiness, I'm really glad you’ve stopped by.
