Anxiety doesn’t come from thinking about the future — we’re human, this is normal.

Anxiety comes from feeling like we need to control it.

👩‍🏫Overestimating the likelihood something will happen + Overestimating the severity something will happen - underestimating our abilities and resources =anxiety

The goal isn’t to stop future-oriented thoughts, but to build safety in uncertainty.

Your nervous system isn’t broken — it’s protecting you.

Therapy can support you on this journey.

❔Wondering what therapy with me is really like?
It’s not someone judging you, fixing you, or telling you who to be.
It’s being seen. Supported. Understood.
It’s having someone sit with you in the hard moments, remind you that you’re not broken, and help you grow at your own pace.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something to change, I’m here.
A safe, grounding space to talk, laugh, cry, and heal — without pressure or perfection.
If you’re ready to choose yourself, therapy can be your first step.

This landed deeply for me.

Since January 2023, I’ve been intentionally slowing down — moving with more care, more presence, and more self-trust. Letting go of the belief that my worth is tied to productivity, output, or how much I accomplish in a day.

What I’ve learned (and what I see again and again in therapy) is that the hard path is often the right one:
• Choosing depth instead of rushing
• Going to therapy even when it feels uncomfortable
• Learning to value yourself without needing to prove it
• Breaking old patterns that once protected you, but no longer serve you
• Walking toward fear instead of around it

This is where real change happens — not quickly, but honestly. I look forward to continuing into 2026.

If you’re moving more slowly right now, you’re not falling behind.
You may be doing the most important work of your life.

✨As we move toward a new year, many of us start thinking about changes we want to make — but the most meaningful shift isn’t a resolution.
It’s a decision.

A decision to stop leaving yourself behind.
A decision to honour your needs without apology.
A decision to stop shrinking for love, approval, or peace.
A decision to stay with you.

2026 doesn’t need a “new you.”

It just needs a you who is no longer abandoning yourself to make others comfortable.

Two things can be true:
You can love the people in your life and choose yourself.
You can heal old patterns and step into something healthier moving forward.

If this is your year to come home to yourself — I’m cheering for you and here if you want support

💚 Christmas holds a lot — joy, grief, overwhelm, quiet moments, and everything in between.

If today feels different than you hoped, if you’re missing someone, or if you’re simply moving through the day the best you can… you’re not doing it wrong.

Two things can be true:
You can hold love and sadness.
You can celebrate and set boundaries.
You can show up and need rest.

Be gentle with yourself today.
You’re allowed to be exactly where you are.

Sending softness to anyone who needs it today.
You’re not alone.

✨ This is what it is all about

Here are things I loved hearing in session this month: honest moments, tiny breakthroughs, and people choosing themselves one step at a time.

You can too, step into 2026 with you as the priority: info@hgtcounselling.com

✨A healthy relationship isn’t the one that lets you disappear into old patterns — it’s the one that gently calls you back to yourself.

Real love holds up a mirror.
It asks you to stay when your instinct is to run.
It invites communication when silence feels easier.
It nudges you to grow, heal, notice, and meet your inner child with compassion.

And this is why real love can feel scarier than chaos ever did.
Chaos lets you stay unchanged.
Love asks you to rise.

If you’re doing this work — imperfectly, slowly, honestly — I see you.

💚Two things can be true:
It can feel uncomfortable and it can be the healthiest thing you’ve ever chosen.

🥀The holidays can stir up a lot when you’re grieving — memories, emotions, loneliness, or the ache of things that look different this year.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone, and you’re not expected to “be merry” just because the calendar says so.

Remember: there is no right or wrong way to move through this season.

Go slowly. Be tender with yourself.

Hope doesn’t mean forgetting — it means finding moments of light while carrying what you love.

Reach out, we are here, and we get it: info@hgtcounselling.com

In a few supportive sessions, we’ll explore what’s going on in your life—at your pace and in your own words. Counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions, gain clarity, and make meaningful changes.

🌿Fun fact:

Therapy isn’t always neat and tidy — sometimes your brain is a goldfish, your
feelings hide, you laugh at the wrong moment, or you stare at the clock like it owes you money.

And if you’ve ever forgotten your therapy homework, lost your train of thought, cried, laughed, rambled, or had absolutely no idea where to start…

🎉Congratulations — you’re doing therapy exactly right.

Being human is weird. Healing is human.

And therapy embraces all of it — the messy, the awkward, the emotional, the “I swear I had a point,” and the “why am I crying again?”

Come exactly as you are. It all belongs. 💛🛋️
