Small life changes bring big rewards
If, like all most of us here at First Psychology Newcastle, you have a love of coffee and spend much of your day popping in and out of Costa, Starbucks or Central Bean, you may decide to save some money in the New Year by changing this unhelpful (and expensive) habit.
How to avoid impulsive spending
At this time of year our lovely Newcastle shops are full of enticing things – toys, music, tech and all manner of things that we may love to have for ourselves or to give as presents over Christmas.
Smartphones and mental health
There has been a lot written recently about the dangers of smart phones for young people.
Overcoming academic pressure
With a consulting centre close to both universities in Newcastle we are familiar with the struggles faced by many students at this time of year.
The benefits of slowing down
A couple of weeks ago the Christmas lights were switched on in Newcastle – a stunning visual array that brings brightness to the city centre and great joy to those visiting or passing through.
Managing your mood during the winter months
One of the things that affects many of us here in Newcastle as we look out of the window at the cold, grey and wintry North East weather is a real dip in mood.
