It's a tough time for small business owners, with rising costs and uncertainty potentially

having an impact on their mental health.

But Lloyd's Bank and Mental Health UK have partnered to help, offering free therapeutic

coaching sessions to business owners across the country, like Emma, who runs ELP Barbershop

What I've learnt, why don't just help me now, it will help me in the long term to keep

myself and the business healthy.
