There’s a particular kind of fatigue that doesn’t come from doing too much.

It comes from holding more than your system was designed to carry.

From staying attuned, available and responsive while parts of you are still bracing underneath.

Many practitioners don’t notice this straight away.

They’re skilled, intuitive and care deeply.

And yet something feels unsustainable, not in the work itself but in how their body has to work to keep showing up.

In the work I do inside Silent Counselling, what often shifts first isn’t how someone supports others.

It’s how much effort their nervous system has been using to stay present. And when that effort softens, something changes.

Boundaries become clearer without hardening.
Presence deepens without depletion.
Responsiveness replaces responsibility.

You’re no longer holding people together. You’re meeting them from a place that’s already resourced.

This is what makes the work sustainable.

Not better strategies, but a different internal orientation, where your body doesn’t need to override itself in order to care.

For those who feel ready to explore this way of working more deeply, both personally and professionally, there is a space to step into that learning with support.

By “woo” I mean the vague, surface-level, ungrounded approaches that ask you to “just feel” or “just manifest” without the body doing the work.

Silent Counselling is different. Its emotional alchemy through the body’s wisdom, works with the nervous system and releases what the mind alone cannot access.

If you’re drawn to find out more, DM me. I’d love to have an online cuppa chat and explore this phenomenal modality with you - whether for yourself or for your work with clients.

Happy Friday beautiful souls 🫶

I’m totally bathing in the absolute magic of last night’s cacao ceremony.

I’m in awe of the women who gathered , willing to honour what has been, integrating the wisdom from skins shed and welcoming the first stirrings of Fire Horse energy together 🔥

We boogied our butts off to our kick-ass playlist, deeply embodying the medicine💃

The energy was phenomenal, the sharing witnessed and tended with so much reverence for one another.

This is old medicine and ancient remembering. It’s in our bones. Women sitting together, hearts open, held by the spirit of Mama Cacao, and by one another.

This work exists because you show up.

I am so grateful for the women who feel the call to gather in circle and ceremony and it’s such an honour to hold space for you.

I can feel the ripple effects widening and deepening.

Our next New Moon Cacao Ceremony is Thursday 19th March, 7-10pm, Inverkeilor Village Hall.

If this speaks to you or you know someone who would love to come sit in circle, please share.

With so much love, Karen 🤎

For many practitioners, there’s a moment where personal healing starts to translate into professional capacity.

Not because you’ve decided to do more, but because your nervous system now knows something it didn’t before.

It knows what safety feels like from the inside out. And that changes how you show up.

✔️Your presence steadies.
✔️You don’t rush, fix or override.
✔️ You can stay present when emotion deepens or when the nervous system tightens, freezes, or withdraws to protect itself.

Not through technique, but because your system has learned how to hold.

This is often when the work starts to ask something different of you.

Not more effort or more information, but a deeper relationship with how change actually happens, at the level it was formed.

This is the threshold that Silent Counselling Practitioner Training supports.

A space to deepen your embodied understanding, refine your presence and learn how to support nervous-system led change, safely and ethically.

Most therapy fails not because the work is wrong, but because the nervous system was never met first.

Change doesn’t land in a body that’s still protecting.

As practitioners and space-holders, it’s easy to move too quickly into the work.

We listen for the story, look for the root.
We offer insight, reflection, a reframe.

And yet, when a client’s nervous system is still in protection - mobilised, braced, shut down or appeasing - none of that can truly land.

They may understand, agree and even feel a sense of relief in the moment.

But the pattern doesn’t shift.

Because when the nervous system isn’t settled enough, insight becomes pressure rather than support.

Change simply doesn’t integrate in a system that’s still scanning for safety.

This is why so much work stays surface-level, not because the tools are wrong but because the foundation hasn’t been laid.

Listen carefully, because I can’t say this enough.

The body has to know it’s safe first!

Safe to feel, to soften, to stop holding everything together.

Only then can the places that adapted through fear, urgency or necessity begin to reorganise.

When that happens, insight doesn’t need to be pushed because it arrives naturally, and it stays.

If you’ve ever-
✔️Felt a session tip into overwhelm
✔️Sensed that your client understands but can’t embody the change
✔️Known there’s something deeper available, but the system won’t go there…

It’s rarely about doing more.

It’s about meeting the nervous system first.

Because the quality of transformation is always limited by the level of safety it’s built on.

And that level lives in the nervous system.

Hearing me yet?

Real change happens where it was formed.

And that’s in the nervous system.

Most patterns didn’t start as conscious choices. They formed when the body learned it had to:
✔️ Stay alert
✔️ Brace
✔️ Over-function
✔️ Hold quiet, compliant or strong

Insight alone can’t undo that.

Talking, analysing or reframing only goes so far.

With Silent Counselling, we meet the body where it is.

We slow down, tune in and create the safety the system needs to release, re-organise and expand, without forcing or reliving the past.

For clients, it shows up as
✔️Ease and space
✔️Emotional and physical relief
✔️A feeling of lightness, a letting go
✔️A deeper sense of being fully present

For practitioners, it changes the way you work.

Presence becomes steady and trustworthy.
Guidance comes from embodiment, not theory.
Transformation lands at the level it was formed.

This is exactly what you step into in Silent Counselling Practitioner Training.

I’m taking bookings for my next training on
📅 March 28–29 | Online | 10–4pm GMT

DM me if it feels like a YES in your body or if you’re curious to know more, whether for yourself or to hold space for others.

I’d love to grab an online cuppa and explore this phenomenal modality with you.

Happy Friday gorgeous souls 🫶

After the total bliss of a healing massage from my beautiful sister Zoe, I’m taking time out to pause.

I’m gifting myself a wee retreat this weekend in my beloved treehouse. 🏡

I adore being held in this sacred space by the beech trees, communing with my red squirrel family, soaking up the light codes and chilling in front of the woodburning stove.

This isn’t indulgence or a reward.

It’s not something I’ve “earned” by doing enough.

It’s listening to my body before it has to shout. It’s much needed self-care and nervous system regulation.

Pausing isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity, especially as we live in a world that keeps asking us to push, perform and power through.

When we slow down, we come back into ourselves.
We soften, breathe and remember who we are beneath all the noise and the doing.

Rest isn’t something you should squeeze in, but something to honour as essential to your wellbeing, your creativity and your life.

This is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to wait for burnout, exhaustion or overwhelm to choose care.

You’re allowed to pause now.

And that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Much love, Karen 🫶

There comes a point where insight stops being enough.

Not because you don’t understand or because you haven’t done the work but because the body is still holding something the mind can’t reach.

This is often the moment people arrive at my work.

They’re articulate, self-aware, capable and yet their system is tired of managing, coping or holding it all together.

What they’re actually seeking isn’t another explanation.

It’s a different kind of support.
One that listens beneath the story.
One that works with the body, not against it.

This is where Silent Counselling lives.

Not as a technique to apply but as a way of meeting the nervous system with enough safety for something deeper to shift.

For some, that support is personal, offering a space to soften, settle and release what’s been carried for too long.

For others, it’s professional - a recognition that this way of working is something they’re being asked to hold for others.

Both paths begin in the same place with a body that’s ready to be met differently.

That difference is everything.

Healing through the body is the way home.

Not because the mind isn’t powerful but because emotion doesn’t live there.

The body is where feelings are held, where trauma is stored, where truth can finally be felt and not just understood.

So often, we try to change our lives through insight alone. We analyse, reframe and try harder.

And yet the patterns persist because the parts of you that learned to stay alert, brace, over-function, shut down or hold it all together were never met with the support they needed to stop protecting.

In the work I do with Silent Counselling, we tune in to the body’s own intelligence.

Through energetic alignment and embodied safety, it gently guides the system out of protection and back into wholeness, without force and without reliving the past.

This isn’t about becoming someone new and it’s not transformation through effort.

It’s a return.

A return to the parts of yourself that have been braced, protecting or holding too much.

A return to your innate wholeness, presence and capacity to be fully here, for yourself, and in service of others if that aligns with your purpose.

Because when the body feels safe enough to tell the truth, change doesn’t need to be pushed.

It just magically unfolds.

And that’s why this phenomenal modality is integrated into all of my offerings.

DM me if this resonates or sparks curiosity.

Whether for yourself or to hold space for others, let’s explore how Silent Counselling can support your journey.

Much love, Karen 🫶
