Honest writing about therapy, mental health, and real life

From held is where we think out loud. Not clinical advice, not corporate wellness content, just honest, considered writing about the things that bring people to therapy, and the things that get in the way of them going.

Gavin writes every piece himself, drawing on his experience as a counsellor, as someone who has worked in high-pressure professional environments, and as a person navigating the same complicated world the rest of us are living in.

We publish once a month. Sometimes more, never less.
