“I’m a relationship expert – these are the 4 things I want everyone to know about finding love”
Forming relationships with those around us is one of the most natural things we do as people, but it can also prove one of the most complex. This is especially true in the age of dating apps, where forging connections can feel like an emotional obstacle course rife with rejection and red flags. We’ve all been there: one moment, you’re optimistic, swiping through your feed with reckless abandon, and the next, you feel as if there’s zero chance of ever finding someone you connect with.

“My GP didn’t take my eating disorder seriously – it’s time we invested in more training”

“I don’t accept the ‘bad apples’ excuse”: Sadiq Khan unveils plans to rebuild trust in the police
Sadiq Khan has revealed his intention to “rebuild” trust in the police and criminal justice system as part of a refreshed violence against women and girls strategy announced today (15 June). The new strategy – which adopts a public health style approach – will urge high street venues such as beauticians and cafes across London to become ‘information points’ where victims or those at risk can come forward and seek help.

Meet the therapists bringing mental health care to the high street
In short, therapy has become a lot more normalised. And while there’s still a way to go until the stigma surrounding therapy has completely dissolved, therapists are now looking for ways to make therapy more accessible, too – both for those who are now actively seeking it and those who’ve never even considered it before.

Everything you need to know to grow your own plants from seeds this spring
It may seem intimidating to start off with, but growing your own vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers from seeds is a rewarding way to learn more about plant care and improve your gardening skills. It’s also incredibly satisfying to see something so small grow into a fully-fledged plant as a result of your hard work – and the process can be pretty relaxing, too.

“How I finally got diagnosed with ADHD after years of misdiagnosis and masking”
For Chanté Joseph, a writer, producer and presenter of Channel 4’s How Not To Be Racist, this is an all-too-familiar issue. After struggling with undiagnosed ADHD throughout her childhood, she was misdiagnosed with depression while at university, only to finally get a proper diagnosis years later when her first post-graduate job paid for her to have a private assessment. Now, she’s leading a new campaign by the learning support platform Cognassist called Undiagnosed + Underresearched, which aims
Would a 4-day week solve our burnout problem, or is it all too good to be true?
You don’t need to be an expert to know the UK is plagued by burnout. Even before the pandemic, the issue was making headlines – government statistics from 2019/20 revealed that 51% of all work-related ill health that year was due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety – but the blurred boundaries and expectation to be ‘on’ 24/7 triggered by the shift to working from home have made things even worse.

As a time of year that’s all about new beginnings and setting goals for the year ahead, January is often a period when many of us reflect on our careers and what we want from the next 12 months at work.

This flexible approach to building a morning routine could help you to transform your day
It’s a well-known fact that the morning is one of the most important times of the day. Not only does it mark the transition from sleeping to being awake, but the activities you do in the morning – from the type of breakfast you eat to how many times you snooze your alarm – can have ramifications for how you feel for the rest of the day. The only problem? Over the last couple of years, the idea of what constitutes a ‘good’ morning routine has become rather warped – thanks in no small part to soci
