Wellbeing
Wellbeing refers to the state of 'feeling good & functioning effectively'. Research indicates that wellbeing is achieved when you have a balance between your psychological, social and physical resources and the challenges you face. Cortex Wellbeing Collective helps individuals and organisations achieve optimal wellbeing through a range of services and evidence-based practices that are tailored to individual preferences and goals and utilise the PERMAH Wellbeing framework. By providing personalised support and guidance, Cortex Wellbeing Collective empowers people to thrive both personally and professionally.
Gut Health
The gut, which includes the stomach, intestines, and colon, plays a crucial role in digesting and absorbing nutrients from food. Gut health refers to having a healthy gut microbiome and digestive symptoms. The gut microbiome consists of about 200 different species of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which help break down food and turn it into nutrients. Your microbiome can be negatively impacted by stress, too little sleep, lack of physical activity, eating processed food, smoking, drinking alcohol and taking antibiotics. Maintaining a diverse and healthy gut microbiome is important for overall mental and physical health.
Stress
At Cortex Wellbeing Collective, we celebrate stress. Stress is an indication we are learning and growing. But we also understand the impact that chronic stress can have on your mental and physical wellbeing. Stress is a natural response to a perceived threat, and it can manifest in many different ways. It's important to recognise when you're feeling stressed and take steps to manage it if it begins to interfere with your day-to-day functioning. If you are experiencing symptoms of stress, such as irritability, anxiety, headaches, or muscle tension, don't wait until they become unmanageable. Our experienced team can help you identify the signs and symptoms of stress, and teach you effective coping techniques to help you manage stress in a healthy way and begin to harness the upside of stress.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human emotion that we all experience at times. Symptoms of anxiety can vary from person to person, but often include feelings of worry and fear and insomnia. These feelings can be accompanied by physical sensations such as sweating, racing heartbeat, and rapid breathing. If you are struggling with anxiety, know that you are not alone. At Cortex Wellbeing Collective, we specialise in helping people manage their symptoms and find effective treatment options. We offer a compassionate and understanding approach to mental wellbeing and are committed to supporting you on your journey towards improved mental health.
Depression
Depression is a complex condition and can manifest in a variety of ways and may include feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, changes in sleep and appetite, and difficulty concentrating. It can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. At Cortex Wellbeing Collective, we provide individualised coaching and support to help clients manage their depression and improve their quality of life. Our approach includes evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance commitment therapy and mindfulness-based techniques.
Burnout
At Cortex Wellbeing Collective, we understand that burnout can be a serious issue that affects both your personal and professional life. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek help and support. We offer a range of treatments to help you overcome burnout and regain your quality of life. Our team of health professionals will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that meets your individual needs.
Adjustment Disorder
Adjustment disorder is a type of mental health disorder that occurs when an individual has difficulty adapting to a particular life event, such as divorce, job loss, loss of a loved one or a change in roles. Adjustment disorder can manifest in a variety of ways, including anxiety, depression, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. It's important to seek treatment as early as possible to prevent symptoms from worsening. At Cortex Wellbeing Collective, we offer personalised treatment plans to address your unique needs and help you achieve your mental wellness goals. We understand how challenging it can be to navigate these life changes, and we are here to help you.
