Understanding and living your core values isn’t a box you tick once and forget. It’s an ongoing relationship with yourself. As you grow and change, your values can evolve, and life’s circumstances may call for new ways to express them.

The key is to regularly check in with yourself and ask: Am I living in a way that honours what matters most to me?

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when people start living in line with their authentic values. It’s not always easy, but the integrity, purpose and contentment that come from this alignment make the journey worthwhile.

Unsettling Freedom of Healing

As we heal, we realise that what felt like our truest self might have been our most reactive self. The identity we built around anxiety, the personality shaped by depression, the ways of being that emerged from trauma may have been elaborate survival strategies rather than authentic expressions of who we really are.

This realization can feel terrifying. If I'm not my anxiety, then who am I? If depression wasn't showing me the "real" truth about life, then what is real? If my trauma responses aren't my personality, then what is my personality?

Let’s begin to uncover that version of you, together. Take the next step with Novissimo Counselling. Book your free taster session today - link in bio!

There’s something uniquely bittersweet about the end of summer. As August comes to a close and September approaches, we often find ourselves between the fading warmth of long days and the return to routine. This seasonal shift can stir unexpected emotions such as sadness, anxiety or restlessness.

If you are finding this transition difficult, counselling can provide a supportive space to reflect, process and move forward with clarity.

Nowadays, rushing has become our default.

We live at such a fast pace that stress, burnout, and disconnection have started to feel normal.

We say we don’t have time, but often it’s speed that’s stealing it. Slow living gives it back.

One deep breath. One conscious choice. One small step at a time.

Life has a way of pulling us in different directions, and the goals we set in January might feel distant or even irrelevant by July. This isn't a sign of failure: it's a natural part of growth and change. Mental health isn't a destination we reach once and stay at forever; it's an ongoing process that requires regular maintenance and adjustment.

Think of this check-in as recalibrating your internal compass. You're not starting over; you're simply ensuring you're still heading in a direction that serves your current self and circumstances.

Ever find yourself chatting about the weather... while quietly craving something more real?

Maybe you're the friend everyone leans on, the one who checks in, keeps it light, and holds it all together. But beneath that steady role, there might be thoughts and feelings you've been carrying alone. Ones that are quietly asking to be seen, heard, and understood.

That’s where counselling comes in. Not because you’re broken. Not because you need fixing.

But because you deserve a space that’s just for you, where you can show up exactly as you are, without masks or filters.

✨ You don’t have to wait for things to get “bad enough.”
✨ You don’t have to go through it alone.
✨ You don’t have to pretend everything’s fine when it isn’t.

If some part of you is longing to exhale, to be heard, to matter, Novissimo Counselling is here to meet you exactly where you are.

It’s not ungrateful or dramatic to feel uneasy about family gatherings. These moments can stir up old wounds or trigger insecurities you thought you’d buried. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is take a step back and protect your peace.

This social season, give yourself permission to prioritise your well-being. Say no without guilt, leave early without explanation, and create the space you need to recharge. Your future self will thank you, and your relationships will be stronger for it.

The goal isn't to avoid all social interaction; it's to engage in ways that energize rather than drain you. When you protect your energy, you create space for the connections and experiences that truly matter. And that's the greatest gift you can give yourself this season.

Want to know how to protect your energy during busy social seasons? We’re offering a FREE 15-minute breakthrough call. Reach out now!

Protecting your energy isn’t about becoming antisocial or missing out on summer fun. It’s about being intentional with your energy so you can fully enjoy the experiences that matter most to you.

This summer, give yourself permission to be selective, to rest, and to prioritise your well-being. Your future self will thank you – and you’ll actually be able to enjoy those long, warm days instead of just getting through them.

Social interactions, even enjoyable ones, require energy. Every conversation demands emotional labor, every new environment requires adjustment, and every social cue needs processing.

When these demands pile up without recovery time, we experience what we call "social fatigue" that bone-deep exhaustion that sleep alone can't fix.

The pressure to be "on" constantly during social season can leave even the most extroverted among us feeling depleted.
