For all those parents out there a beautiful and clear reminder on what can drain parents emotional cups and also what can fill them up again.

May your festive season be as cup filing as possible ☺️ and the ability to notice the difference between the two.

Merry Christmas 🎄🥰🎄take good care of yourselves and those around you. Remember you never know what people are going through and sometimes the people with the biggest smiles are struggling the most.... so be kind 🫶

Changes coming for 2025....

I wanted to share some exciting news about a new chapter in my professional journey come 2025. After much reflection, I will be finishing my work with Mindful Sands Counselling and will soon be joining the team at CQ Psych Services.

This transition brings an opportunity for me to continue offering compassionate and tailored counselling support in a new setting. Please rest assured that my commitment to your well-being remains my top priority, and I will work closely with you to ensure a smooth continuation of care during this change.

If you have any questions or concerns or would like to discuss how this might impact our sessions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I deeply appreciate the trust you have placed in me and look forward to supporting you in this next phase of my work.

🌿 Next time your in Agnes Water be sure to check out Little Oasis Sauna and Cold Plunge, Agnes Water / 1770 🌿

💚 My first time experiencing a cold plunge and therefore experiencing the benefits of feeling calm, focused and rejuvenated 💚

🌿 Finding stress relieving practises that suit us individually are a real asset to our tool kit 🌿

As we step towards the end of year celebrations I acknowledge that this can be a challenging time for people, especially couples.

If this is you please feel welcome to reach out. Mindful Sands Counselling will be available for sessions up until Christmas.

How do you show your partner you're interested in them? Their feelings, hobbies, actions, beliefs?

This is one of the beauties of setting time aside for you and your partner to discover yourself, each other and connect together.

Leaning on the Gottman's method it offers clear points including the benefits of implementing open ended questions, active listening and small things often (creating action with the new found information you have about your partner)

I invite us to be interested 🫶

October marks an important reminder for us to be reflective of mental health.

Not only as a counsellor but also as a mum, a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter..... I'm embracing the importance of us paying attention to our mental health too.

I'll always make myself available for people in need. Please reach out and take the steps you need to for yourself or your loved ones.

If you haven't seen Inside Out 2 yet I highly recommend catching it!
Full of very important lessons about our emotional health. I was so excited to be watching and nodding along in agreement 🥰

Points to ponder on from the movie...

✨All our emotions are me at to be felt and it's ok to do so.
They help deliver messages✨

💫The way you speak to yourself matters. Let's be aware of what ours is saying💫

✨Even the happiest person gets sad sometimes.
Life is full of movement and change. It's ok to not be happy all the time.
This is being human✨

💫Allow yourself to feel what you are feeling rather than suppressing💫

✨The company you keep matters. Noticing the difference and promoting your choice between when I can be myself I feel safe and when I'm with people who I feel I need to be more guarded or cautious around I feel..... ✨

Connecting with what we can and cannot control is an interesting point to reflect on.
I know it's one I like to ask myself regularly too.

A beautiful reminder here from the and creating space for us to think about what they are trying to communicate with us but aren't yet able to.

I know I've been creating extra space lately to listen to where the kids are at and what they have going on in their worlds. Validating their feelings is important to help them feel connected, that they're not alone and learn that feeling their feelings is ok. Actually it's really vital and apart of being human!

2024 and jumping back into the year with seeing clients again 💙

Having loved my break it is also refreshing to be sitting presently with my clients and meeting them with kindness and compassion. I have missed you all.

A few changes to the Mindful Sands world, now in the rooms Monday's and Tuesday's, practicing what I preach in trying to find my balance 💙 thank you for your understanding and generous assumptions.

I look forward to seeing you soon or if you are wondering if 2024 is the year for you to try counselling, I'd love to hear from you 😊

Thinking of all the families about to embark on a new year of schooling.

A message to your special person from me...

- This year represents another chapter of your schooling life not the whole story.

- Good things take time including friendships. Go gently and kindly with yourself. Friendships can be tricky and that's ok.

- What we tell ourselves matters. Let's assume that you are accepted for who you are until you know otherwise. This is a great time to reflect on what your messages your brain is telling you about situations. Is it actually fact or is it what my brain is telling me 🤔

- Focus on what I can control and let go of the rest. Let it go 💙

Mostly I'd then to know that I see them, I believe in them and I know that they have got what it takes to be brave and stand by who they are. Their unique self 💙🫶💙

I love witnessing this in my work 💙
