Free Virtual Lecture: Doctoral College Seminar Series, University of Wales Trinity Saint David. 20th January 2026, 1-2pm GMT.
Title: A resilient approach to navigating the winter blues
Speaker: Prof Stephen Palmer PhD
Platform: Zoom

The 'Winter Blues' is a popular term used by the public although it is not a medical condition. This presentation will consider the possible reasons for a mild, and temporary dip in mood, energy, and motivation that can happen during the winter months. It often occurs after the holiday season on our return to work and/or studying. Then the presentation will focus on practical, coping strategies including easy to use thinking skills to challenge any 'Winter Blues Thinking'.

In the UK, about 3% of people have significant winter depression which is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Therefore, knowing when to seek professional help will also be highlighted in this lecture.

Professor Stephen Palmer is an Hon Professor of Practice in the Institute of Management and Health, UWTSD. He is a Chartered Psychologist and Biologist, and HCPC Registered Health and Counselling Psychologist. His PhD focused on stress management.
