Jumped on the Chat GPT bandwagon… I particularly like this one simply because I have a third hand 😂

So many of us are kind and patient with others, but very hard on ourselves.

In counselling, we often work on learning to speak to ourselves with the same compassion we give to those we care about. 😊

Today is Time to Talk Day.

We’re often so good at asking others if they’re ok…
but not always so good at checking in with ourselves.

If something has been weighing on you, you deserve support too.

Talking isn’t a weakness.
It’s a brave step towards caring for your mental health.

You’re not alone. Let’s break the stigma.

You don’t need to be in crisis to try counselling.

Many people start simply because they want to understand themselves better or feel more balanced. Clients have expressed that it can be helpful to speak to someone impartial to their situation too.

Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.

Anxiety doesn’t always show itself as panic.
Sometimes it looks like overthinking, constant worry, people-pleasing, or feeling exhausted.

If this sounds familiar, support is available and you deserve it 🌿

Happy Thursday!

In the coming weeks I will be expanding my private practice. I will have much more daytime availability as well as face-to-face sessions which start from next week in my new therapy room ☺️

If you’re thinking of getting started with therapy but you aren’t too sure how it all works, message me and we can arrange a free, informal chat to discuss further 🤗

I saw this today and it really resonated with me.

This topic regularly comes up in my therapy sessions with various clients. The stigma of being ‘behind’ in some way as they might not be following a certain timeline.

We need to let people be, let people do what makes them happy WITHOUT pressurising about career, relationships, children, etc!

“Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks you if you are happy” - Heath Ledger

Integrative Counselling/Psychotherapy allows us to explore past and present experiences and events by pulling on various therapeutic approaches depending on a person’s individual needs and circumstances.

This can lead to a discovery of patterns, deeper levels of understanding and a new perspective on things.

These factors can be powerful in helping to work through traumatic experiences, reduce negative feelings & instead promote growth, positivity and insight ✨💡
