Taking a Pause 🌿

I’ll be away from August 15 to 31, taking time to rest and reflect.
During this time, I won’t be available for sessions or messages.
I’ll be back in early September.

If you want to book a session before then, feel free to get in touch soon.

And remember, if you ever need immediate support, please know there are people you can reach out to:
• Samaritans – Call 116 123 (24/7, free)
• Shout – Text SHOUT to 85258 (24/7 text support)
• NHS 111 – For urgent mental health support
• Local crisis teams, GP or walk-in centres.

You are not alone. Help is there, even in the quiet hours.

With warmth,
Cristina

Kindness I needed today…

I didn’t sleep well last night. So I woke up this morning with a lot tension in my shoulders, something familiar with fibromyalgia.
Instead of pushing through, I gave myself a few quiet minutes of gentle yoga. Not to “fix” anything, but just to meet my body with some kindness.
It didn’t take the pain away, but it helped me feel a little more grounded, a little more present, a little more able to begin the day.
If you’re feeling tired or tense today: physically, emotionally, or both, this is your reminder:
You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to care for yourself gently. You don’t have to be “on top of everything” to be doing enough.
Be soft with yourself today. It matters. 💛

🌿 Life moves quickly, and it’s easy to get caught up in the noise.

Mindfulness isn’t about being perfect, it’s about creating space to pause, notice and respond with clarity.
It can help reduce stress, improve focus and support your overall wellbeing.

Swipe through to explore three meaningful ways mindfulness can support you.

💬 Feel free to share which one stands out for you.

✨ What is Mindfulness? ✨

Mindfulness begins with a simple choice: to notice what’s happening right here, right now.

Rather than getting lost in the past or pulled into the future, mindfulness invites us to be here, gently turning toward our experience with kindness and curiosity.

It’s not about emptying your mind or doing anything perfectly.
It’s about being present with what is, just as it is.

🌱 Whether it’s one breath, one sip of tea, or one small step, mindfulness begins in simple, kind moments.

This week, I’ll be sharing the benefits of mindfulness and beginner-friendly ways to bring it into your everyday life. 💚
Follow along if that sounds like something you need.

💭 What’s one small thing you can notice right now? I’d love to hear in the comments.

Hi, I’m Cristina 🤍
I’m the face behind Calm & Kind Counselling, and I thought I’d share a little about me.

I’m a coffee lover, a curious mind and someone who finds joy in sunshine, quiet moments and meaningful conversations. 🌿

At the heart of what I do is connection. I’m here to create a kind, supportive space where you feel safe, seen and never rushed.

If you ever want to reach out, ask something or just say hello 👋🏼 , I’d really love to hear from you. 💬
