The Mental Health Toolbox Podcast

Patrick Martin

Hi! I’m Patrick, a psychotherapist, and I created this podcast with both the practitioner, the consumer and just plain curious in mind. Here you will find a range of resources and information around mental health, practical advice, resources, tools and their application to improve your quality of life. The skills discussed in this show will help you better manage anxiety, depression, relationships and productivity. It is my hope that through this platform you will find more effective ways to achieve your recovery goals, find meaningful activities, create and maintain healthy relationships, weather crisis successfully and have the best possible mental and physical health you can. I am on a mission to raise awareness of mental health needs and strategies for increasing quality of life, and to equip practitioners with helpful tools and techniques to improve their approach with sound interventions. It is my aim to help you do more than just cope, but to thrive!
