People need to reach out for support, as Lincoln counsellor sees anxiety and depression increase during pandemic
Anxiety and depression during lockdowns
Steven Lean launched Lincoln Counselling in April 2020.
A Lincoln counsellor launched his own support service during the coronavirus pandemic and has seen an increase in demand in recent months, even over the Christmas period.
Steven Lean, 42, started Lincoln Counselling after spending eight years training and working in the industry. Lincoln Counselling focuses on areas such as anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.
In recent months, Steven said he has seen a big increase in people needing support, partly caused by social restrictions during the pandemic which has created a change in how our relationships function, often leading to strain, tension and difficulties within ourselves and with significant others.
