☕✨ Coffee of the People

At Next Door Counselling, a coffee (or tea) is often shared in session. Why? Because it helps the process.

There’s something about holding a warm cup that makes conversation flow more easily. Coffee (or tea) has always been a unifier — it brings people together, softens the edges and creates connection.

In the therapy room, it’s no different. A cup in your hands can be grounding, comforting and remind you that you don’t have to do this alone.

Because counselling, much like coffee, is for the people — for all of us.

💛 Dementia Action Week 2025 💛

A dementia diagnosis is a medical fact—it doesn’t define who you are. At Next Door Counselling, we walk alongside people and families, exploring what this means and supporting you to navigate the journey with compassion and understanding.

Coming to terms with a new diagnosis takes courage, patience and time. You don’t have to face it alone. We’ve sat beside many, held hands and guided families through complex services—helping them feel supported, understood and seen.

🌿 Dementia Action Week 2025 🌿

With 14 years in the dementia space, I’ve seen firsthand the strength, resilience and humanity of those living with dementia and their families. It’s a privilege to be part of their journey.

This year’s theme, “Nobody Can Do It Alone,” reminds us that supporting someone with dementia is a collective effort. It takes families, carers, communities and professionals working together to create a world that is inclusive and understanding. 

From 15–21 September, Dementia Australia is leading events and initiatives across the country. You can find out more or register your own event at dementia.org.au/dementia-action-week. 

Let’s come together to listen, learn and take action. Because together, we can make a difference.

So many of us carry guilt when we stop. We hear the old voices telling us we should always be productive, always achieving, always “on.”

But the truth is—doing nothing is doing something. It’s giving your mind, body and heart a chance to reset.

If you’re not sure where to start with self-care, try this: ask your younger self what they would need. A nap? A story? A cuddle with a blanket? Time outside?

Often, self-care becomes easier when we look through their eyes. 💛

✨ This week, I invite you to practice rest—not as laziness, but as love.

🚿 Crying in the Shower? I hear you.

For many, the shower becomes the only place that feels safe enough to cry. The sound of the water covers the sobs, the steam softens the feelings and for a while, it feels like the weight can be released in private.

But while the shower allows space for emotions, it can also keep you isolated. Your tears deserve to be seen and your feelings deserve to be held.

I love it when people step into my therapy room and feel safe enough to cry. It is my privilege to sit with you in those tender moments and hold space for the things you often carry alone.

You don’t have to cry only in the shower. At Next Door Counselling, there is space for your tears, your story, and your healing.

Over the weekend, I watched a kookaburra happily sitting at a café table helping itself to some leftover chips 🍟.

It made me chuckle… but it also got me thinking: who’s sitting at my own table?

Sometimes we end up with unexpected guests at our table—some who bring joy, some who make us laugh and others who might just swoop in for the chips.

The truth is, we get to choose who stays. Our “table” in life is better when it’s filled with people who bring kindness, warmth and connection (not just crumbs!).

💬 “Surround yourself with people who feed your soul, not just your plate.” – Unknown

So tell me, who’s at your table?

✨ I’d like to introduce you to the next stream of Next Door Counselling & Consultation — Next Door Dementia Support.

✨ Practical tools for day-to-day challenges

My daughter recently made an art piece in class—a striking image of a mouth sewn shut.

When I saw it, my breath caught.

Because for so many people caught in long-term toxic or abusive relationships, that is exactly how it feels.

Over time, their voice is slowly silenced.
Through fear. Control. Manipulation. Shame.
They learn to speak less. Question less. Shrink themselves.

And after years of this, many emerge feeling lost—completely unsure of who they are without the relationship, the patterns, the constant walking on eggshells.

This is the impact of abuse we don’t always talk about: Not just the bruises you can see but the deep internal wounds—the stolen sense of self.

It can take years to rebuild parts of you that you didnt even know where impacted. Recovery requires consistent work, gentleness and reflection.

💛 If you need someone to talk to…
💛 If you need a safe space to begin piecing yourself back together…

My door is open.
You are always welcome here.
