An introduction to counselling and support

When our needs are met we blossom and grow

Are Your Emotional Needs Being Met?

You wouldn’t be surprised if a plant wilted from lack of sunlight or water.

And you wouldn’t take your car to a mechanic before checking if it had fuel or air in its tyres.

So why do we often overlook our own basic emotional needs?

While food, water, and shelter are essential for survival, humans also have core psychological needs that are just as vital for our wellbeing—needs like love, attention, stimulation, intimacy, and meaningful connection. When these emotional needs go unmet for too long, the impact can be subtle at first—but over time, it can lead to anxiety, depression, low self-worth, addiction, or a sense of feeling lost.

At Life in Action, we work extensively with what are known as stimulus hungers—the natural human cravings for emotional nourishment. These are the unseen drivers behind many of the struggles people bring to therapy, yet they’re often misunderstood or neglected.

By bringing attention to these unmet needs, we help you reconnect with what truly sustains you emotionally—and support you in building a life that feels more balanced, connected, and alive.

Beyond Therapy

Life in Action is also a provider of high-quality CPD training for therapists and health professionals. We host a number of personal development groups, including:

A men’s growth and wellbeing group

Talking Sex: a process group for individuals exploring identity, intimacy, or addiction

In addition, we offer professional personality profiling using some of the most well-respected psychological tools available—providing deeper insight into who you are and how you relate to others.
