Roots to Grow Counselling and Psychotherapy

13/12/2025

January can be a challenging month for many, so I'm planning on hosting an evening of crafts.

I will provide all the materials but you are welcome to bring a project that you are working on.

It will be an informal evening of sewing/crochet/knitting/painting etc

A relaxed space to unwind, connect and create a sense of calm.

A date will be confirmed if I get enough interest. I am also happy to turn this into a regular event.

The event will be at The Clock Tower Business Centre, Works Road, Chesterfield. There is plenty of parking.

6 spaces available

Please email rootstogrow.counselling@gmail.com to register your interest.

The fee covers room hire, heating, light refreshments, and materials.

Please share

It feels very much like winter has arrived. This is a season which can bring mixed emotions for many. Slowing down and making time for oneself can be restful and restorative.

If you find this season a challenge, therapy can help explore ways of improving wellbeing.

🍂 The Healing Power of Autumn 🍁

Autumn isn’t just about cozy sweaters and falling leaves—it’s a powerful reminder from nature that letting go can be beautiful.

As the trees release what they no longer need, we’re invited to do the same. To slow down. To reflect. To breathe a little deeper.

In a world that often pushes us to keep going, autumn says:
“Rest is healing. Change is natural. Letting go is growth.”

So take a moment today—step outside, feel the crisp air, and ask yourself:
✨ What am I ready to release?

Sometimes healing begins with something as simple as a walk through the leaves.

Sometimes, when faced with uncertainty, we can wait passively for change, or we can explore our world around us, increasing our chance of discovering opportunities.

This afternoon's walk along the canal was a quiet escape from the rush of the day. The water was still, reflecting the soft light of sunshine. As I walked, a graceful swan glided by—silent, serene, and completely unbothered by the world. It’s always a little bit magical to cross paths with something so peaceful. A gentle reminder to slow down and simply be.
