Self Love ❤️

How are you treating yourself? Do you ever really think about this? Were you ever taught how to be in relationship with yourself? 🤔

Self-love is the practice of caring for, respecting, and valuing oneself 🌸

It involves recognizing your worth, treating yourself with kindness and compassion, and prioritizing your own well-being and happiness 🌈

Self-love encompasses both acceptance of yourself, including flaws and imperfections, and the commitment to personal growth, healing and self-improvement 🦋

Take a moment today to think about your relationship with yourself.

What one thing, no matter how small, could you start today to start loving YOURSELF a little more ❤️‍🩹

Self-acceptance is the moment you stop trying to earn your worth and remember you were never lacking it in the first place.

It’s choosing to meet yourself with compassion instead of criticism ❤️‍🩹
It’s letting go of who you think you should be and making space for who you already are.

When you accept yourself, your nervous system softens.
Your heart opens.
And love—real, steady love—has room to land.

We associate the month of February with romantic love and relationships.

Maybe this year, think about the relationship you have with yourself ❤️‍🩹

You are worthy and deserve your own love ❤️
You are already enough ✨

Counselling can offer you a safe space to bring your hurt and pain out from the darkness.
When we can speak ‘the unspeakable and unimaginable’ and have someone hear and witness our TRUTH, then healing can begin!

As a therapist, it is a privilege to hold this space for my clients, as I know the value of someone who held that space for me 💖💖

The lovely Carol The Holistic Butterfly ❤️

Hi Everyone

I’d love to take a moment to introduce myself to new followers, and reintroduce myself to those who’ve been here for a while, as there have been some changes within my business.

My name is Carol Watkin, and I started The Holistic Butterfly back in 2018. What began as a dream of offering both counselling and complementary therapies has since evolved. Due to personal circumstances, I have stepped away from the complementary therapies side of my work.

Moving forward, The Holistic Butterfly will focus on counselling and workshops. I am a qualified and BACP accredited counsellor, deeply passionate about supporting people on their healing journeys, with over 10 year’s experience. I have also recently began a new role as a lecturer in counselling which I am enjoying and get to share all the knowledge I have gained with our future counsellors.

It is a true honour to walk alongside individuals as they reconnect with themselves, others, and the world around them. As an integrative therapist, I adapt my approach to suit each person’s unique needs. My aim is simple, that everyone who steps through my door leaves feeling lighter, more connected, more empowered and that I offer them a safe, confidential space.

Counselling appointments are now available if you’re ready to take the next step, please reach out to arrange a session or to have a chat to find out more.

Thank you for being here I’m excited to continue this journey with you 🦋
