Grounding Techniques

I love this really simple grounding technique, I try and and incorporate this into my daily routine so it becomes an easier thing to access as and when I need it.

Grounding and reaching a safe space for your nervous system to return to in the present moment is so important. Exploring your surroundings and even trying to add details at every step such as colours, size, shape, intensity, volume to really connect to what is around you

Give it a try and let me know how it makes you feel

Guilty of feeling I need resolutions again this year, but instead I have tried to frame them as intentions or plans

Share, or pop this in a chat with friends or family. ☕️💙

When life feels off-centre, a counsellor can help you slow down, reflect, and rediscover a sense of balance that feels right for you. 🌱

Hoping everyone has had a great new year and starting the year happy and healthy.

I'm back in my office in the morning, and looking forward to getting back into therapy with my clients.

If you are still looking for therapy or thinking about starting it for this year, why not drop me a message for a free consultation call?

I am currently offering face to face and online therapy sessions with various available slots in January.

Invest in yourself and your mental health this year 🥰

Whatever the reason, it will be a valid one.
We all deserve a space where we can express ourselves and our inner thoughts freely and safely.
There are so many reasons why you may go to therapy. It can be for anyone and everyone, and it can take some fine tuning to find the right therapist and therapy approach for you.

Booking a first ever therapy session can be really daunting.
That is why I offer free consultation calls before beginning therapy.

What to expect from a consultation call with me:
- A free 15 minute call
- Find out what you want and need from therapy
- Work out if we would be a good working match therapeutically
- An opportunity to ask any questions or voice any worries you may have about starting therapy before stepping into that space

Please feel free to DM me for any further information

Now taking October bookings ☺️
