Kaizen Counselling with Alex

A mixture of sadness and excitement....... sadness that it's the end of a chapter in my life, and excited to see what is around the corner! If we have worked together, then thank you for choosing me to help you, and I wish you well with your ongoing journey of self-discovery.

Isn't it strange (or maybe not) that often the very quote that you need will somehow find you on the day that you need it. Or someone will randomly say just the right thing that gives you a whole different view of a problem. This has just popped up in my facebook and after an "enlightening" weekend it's exactly what I have been thinking about for most of the last few days. It has put into words those swirling thoughts.......

I don't want sit in circles where I have to strive to belong.
I don't want to squeeze myself into small spaces that aren't meant for me.
I don't want to "tone down" my personality so I'll be liked.
I don't want to wear the right things or own the right things to feel like I fit in.
I've done it all before and it left me empty and lonely.
I've realized that fitting in was never the same as belonging and that being in "that circle" was never worth sacrificing who I am.
Now I find spaces that have room for me to be me, and want you to know that when you sit by me, there's room for you to be you too.

This image stolen from Victoria Anne Dale this morning, so far this week has been all about letting go of what can't be changed, so it seems serendipitous to find this today....

Good Morning, and Happy Saturday! I hope you are looking forward to a beautiful weekend.
"Kaizen Counselling with Alex" is the page that started this whole social media journey for me in a therapy context. Since then, as you know, my mental wellbeing practice has evolved into so much more than counselling.
Having more than one page is no longer right for the work I'm doing. I'm still committed to the principles of kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of making great progress through small changes, but now that commitment is part of something more.
So, I'm asking you to unfollow this page, which is going to sleep, and instead it would be great if you would follow me on www.facebook.com/MindSpaPaphos/
where I will be posting updates, inspirational thoughts, and news about interesting developments in mental health.
Thanks so much. See you on the MindSpa page soon!

The MindSpa is now closed. If you're looking for counselling please contact Jacki Higgs at higgs.jacki@gmail.com
