It's a glimmer kind of day today!

Have the morning in my cosy office doing some creative writing in therapy training, followed by lunch with Dad, then home to cuddle kitties and do some admin.

Glimmers all round ✨️ ✨️ ✨️

Please share some of your glimmers today.

When I was first training to be a counsellor, I remember one of my lovely tutors talking about having the Summer off to recharge and recuperate, and I remember thinking how lovely that sounded!
Well, this year, after studying and working hard, I've decided to give myself permission to take some extended time off.
So here it is!
My August will be spent relaxing and recharging my batteries so I can come back in September feeling refreshed and able to give my clients my best.

Let's talk about toxic relationships!

We've probably all had some experience of this, if not personally, we have likely seen it in friends or family member's relationships 😟

The emotional toil and strain of experiencing toxic relationships can be devastating, yet very often, we don't notice the impact it's having 😥

Sometimes, we don't even realise just how toxic a relationship has become until we take that step back and really 'see' what's going on.

This is a great article on some signs of a toxic relationship -

Change isn't easy, but sometimes, it's necessary, and awareness is the first step towards making change!

If you or someone you know is struggling in their relationship and wants help then counselling can be a great way to feel supported.

We all deserve to be in healthy relationships.
