Kooth Podcast Kooth

"We often hear about the positive impacts of physical activity and movement on our mental health and wellbeing, but there may be times when physical activity feels difficult for all sorts of reasons."



Listen in to counsellor, Gemma, discussing the impact of movement on our mental health, how being active might not always feel so great, and how we might work with any barriers we might have.

We’ve collaborated with the charity, Winston’s Wish, who help support children and young people with grief and loss. We spoke to three lovely members of the Winston’s Wish Youth Ambassador team to answer important questions on grief, like:




Does everyone experience grief in the same way?


When is it okay to feel happy again when you’ve been affected by grief? 


How does grief change over time? 



For personal support with grief and loss, you can visit Kooth or visit the Winston’s Wish website. 

If you’re looking for some relaxation before bed, why not listen to our bedtime meditation? It can help you feel calmer and a bit more comfortable at night, so you can fall asleep with ease.

In this podcast, we speak to Aanisah, a secondary school teacher who is a practising Muslim. We discuss how faith and culture can affect your mental health, and the importance of role models and representation, especially for Muslim girls.

We understand how important it is for young people in the care system to feel heard. In this podcast, Carina, a youth worker at Kooth, speaks to a young person about their involvement in her project 'Pass the Parcel,' which explores how young people can represent their feelings of being passed around in the care system through objects.

Sometimes we can get so swept away in our feelings or the things we have to do in a day. In the rush of it all, we may get overwhelmed and need to take a moment to stop and collect ourselves. In this short audio, counsellor, Gemma, takes us through a quick STOP technique to help us find quick moments of calm throughout the day.
