Struggling with Your Mental Health?
Do You Have a Mental Health Problem?
Most people have a pretty good sense of how they feel and if there is something wrong.
There are five good indicators that you may be experiencing some sort of mental health problem.
- Feeling anxious and worrying a lot.
- Prolonged sadness & irritability.
- Significant changes in your mood.
- Social withdrawal.
- Disrupted sleeping patterns.
If you’re experiencing any or all of these symptoms or you want to find out more about our support services, then why not get in touch to arrange a free initial consultation with us.
You can also take one of the standard mental health tests for Anxiety or Depression that are used throughout the NHS mental health services.

You can find out if you have the symptoms of Anxiety by taking the GAD-7 test here,
If you’re feeling down then you might want to take the PHQ-9 Depression test here.
Mental Health Problems
Anxiety
Anxiety is the body’s preparation for dealing with some sort of threat, however, threat perception is highly subjective and people worry about different things.
Depression
Depression is the experience that people go through when they find it difficult to come to terms with past negative or traumatic events, particularly loss.
Emetophobia
Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting and is reckoned to affect around 5% of the UK population. Tranceform Psychology have expert knowledge of this problem.
Health Anxiety
People suffering from health anxiety are often convinced that their mental health professionals are failing to identify or diagnose a problem that they are sure that they have.
Anger Management
Anger can become a major problem if it gets out of control. It can ruin relationships, jeopardise careers and, worst of all, land people in trouble with the legal system.
Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol is a socially condoned drug that people often use to cope with stress or other problems. Relying too much on alcohol, however, can quickly become problematic.
Gambling Addictions
Since the deregulation of gambling by the Blair government in 2005 gambling addiction has grown to become a significant problem for many people.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks occur when people are exposed to threats that they feel they cannot cope with. It is an extreme form of Anxiety and can be very frightening and uncomfortable.
Phobias
There are literally hundreds of different phobias (see our list of phobias here) and people can develop a phobia about almost object or different circumstances.
Sexual Problems
Sexual problems are frequently linked to Stress and Anxiety. You can talk to us in complete confidence no matter what your particular issues are.
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse occurs for a number of reasons, from peer pressure and recreational use through to their use as a coping strategy for underlying mental health difficulties.

Mental Health Barriers
Common Barriers to Mental Health
There are a number of different mental health barriers that can inhibit wellbeing.
Some of these barriers can be changed using applied psychology whilst others are more fixed or permanent in nature requiring alternative solutions.
Psychological Barriers
Psychological barriers are what might be more commonly described as mental health problems that prevent people from achieving what they want to achieve.
Behavioural Barriers
Behavioural Barriers are the things that people do to solve mental health problems that frequently end up reinforcing the problems and actually making matters worse.
Biological Barriers
Biological Barriers are those factors which are imposed by physiological constraints or are claimed to have biological pathology as their root cause.
Cognitive Barriers
Cognitive Barriers are those imposed by the neural architecture and functioning of the brain and include such concepts as cognitive tunnelling due to finite attentional resources.
Sociocultural Barriers
Sociocultural Barriers are those limitations imposed by the social and cultural contexts. Gender inequalities in senior business roles are common in Westernised countries.
Physical Barriers
There are, of course, many physical Barriers that get in the way of progress. Where these do exist it is important to develop the ability to accept them and learn to work around them.
The Power Threat Meaning Framework
A New Way of Thinking About Mental Health Problems
The Power Threat Meaning Framework was devised by the clinical psychology division of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as an alternative to the medical models of emotional distress and is the preferred philosophical perspective used at Tranceform.
The framework is intended to help people with mental health problems to conceptualise their distress in terms of their own life experiences and, in particular, in relation to how power has been used, what types of threats they experienced and how they have attributed meaning or made sense of those experiences in order to devise appropriate threat responses.
Understanding the inter-play between these three concepts can help both the sufferer and the psychologist in the formulation of effective recovery and improvement programmes.
Power
Power, in psychosocial contexts, is the ability to direct or influence the actions of others. Power can be institutional, legal, economic, social, cultural, emotional or physical and have both positive and negative effects.
Threats
Threats also come in many forms including existential (threats to life), emotional (withdrawal of love), social and cultural (exclusion), legal (incarceration) and psychological (distress).
Meanings
The meanings that we attribute to any given experience are highly subjective and congruent with our core beliefs and values. These meanings determine how we make sense of and react to situations.
Mental Health at Work
Mental Health at Work
The workplace is a unique context in which employees are subject to the authority and power of the owners or managerial structures.
Whilst it is widely recognised that meaningful employment and the sense of achievement that often accompanies productive work are positive factors in good mental health and wellbeing, it is also the place where abuses of power are most likely to occur in our everyday lives.
Unlike the social network of friends and family that we might choose for ourselves, social relationships within the workplace are rarely chosen and can often be quite difficult or strained.
We have been delivering our workplace support programmes to the management and staff of the Black Country NHS ICB and the Birmingham & Solihull NHS ICB since 2018.
