Throughout 2024, Nails By CeriAnn Ltd will be supporting the wonderful charity, Mind

We at Nails By CeriAnn have been fortunate enough to be able to undertake training provided by the charity, to businesses within the South Wales area. We participated in training around Suicide First Aid. An incredibly insightful, yet reality revealing. We have now made the decision to give something back to the charity.

We are not trained therapists but we are here to listen. 

Some people may feel more comfortable opening up to their nail technician for a few reasons. First, we do our best to create a relaxed setting with relaxing music, wax melts, comfortable seating and a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Second, there's a sense of anonymity and less pressure since the relationship with a nail technician is typically informal. All that is discussed is private and confidential unless we feel you are in immediate danger and then we will aim to point you in the direction of help. Third, there's the practical aspect – people often spend more time in a nail salon, giving them more opportunities to chat with the technician and build a rapport over time. Lastly, some individuals may find it easier to discuss personal matters with someone who doesn't have the professional label of "therapist," as it can feel less intimidating or stigmatising.

Our aim is to provide you with a safe place that you can come to and relax and be yourself. We are passionate about self love, self care and helping you to feel good about yourself. You will never be judged at Nails By CeriAnn. We respect you for you.

Who are Mind and what do they do?

'Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need. This has to change. We’re Mind. We’re here to fight for mental health. For support, for respect, for you' Taken from the Mind website

How do Mind make a difference?

We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems.

We support minds – by offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.

And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference. Taken from the Mind website
