What are your feelings asking you to notice? 💭🤔

Feelings, whether intense or subtle, often act as internal signals rather than problems to be fixed. They can point towards unmet needs, boundaries that have been crossed, or parts of ourselves that are asking for attention. Many people learn to minimise their emotions, silence their reactions, or move quickly into self-criticism instead of pausing to understand what is happening inside. You might recognise this if you find yourself pushing feelings aside, telling yourself to “get on with it”, or feeling uncomfortable when emotions surface.

This has been something I have been reflecting on myself this week, noticing how easy it can be to move past a feeling instead of gently listening to what it might be asking me to notice. It has been a quiet reminder that emotional awareness is not about perfection, but about pausing, curiosity, and honesty with ourselves.

Counselling offers a reflective space to slow this process down and gently explore what your emotional responses may be communicating. In my work, I offer a warm, steady, and non-judgemental space where you can think out loud, make sense of what feels confusing, and feel supported as you begin to understand yourself more clearly and more kindly.

Are your feelings trying to tell you something?

If you would like therapeutic support to explore your emotional world, you are welcome to get in touch for a confidential, compassionate space to talk things through at your own pace. Feel free to WhatsApp me on 07841 954337 if you want to arrange a free no-obligation consultation call or ask anything about online video counselling.

Tired of rushing through life?

Feeling at ease with yourself begins when you stop trying to match everyone else’s pace and start noticing your own. Working with a trained counsellor can help you uncover the rhythm that truly fits you and explore the patterns that keep you rushing. What shifts when you stop hurrying and start making decisions from your own pace? Keep to the rhythm that helps you move forward and make the most of your life. 🌿✨

If this resonates with you and you’d like to explore online video counselling, message me on WhatsApp 📱 07841 954337 to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation call.

💑 What makes a relationship truly thrive?

A strong relationship feels like a team effort. It’s based on trust, respect, and open communication, where both of you support each other’s dreams and share plenty of laughs along the way. 💛 With kindness, compromise, and fun, challenges feel easier to face—it’s like having your favourite co-adventurer in life! 🌟

To nurture your relationship, try exploring your feelings honestly with your partner. 🗣️ Make time for each other, show appreciation, and really listen. 👂 Be open to compromise, see things from their perspective, and approach conflicts calmly.

If you’d like some individual space to explore your friendship or relationship and deepen your connection, I offer support in a safe, confidential setting — via online video sessions. 💻

💌 Contact me via WhatsApp or Messenger to arrange a free consultation call or book a counselling session.

Has your child left for university or moved out, leaving you with a quiet house and a jumble of emotions?

It’s completely normal to feel proud and excited for them, while also feeling lost, lonely or unsure what to do with yourself now. You’ve spent years supporting them, guiding them, helping them grow—and now the space they’ve left behind can feel unexpectedly big.

This stage of life is a real transition. It’s not just about them moving forward—it’s about you finding your new rhythm too. You might notice moments of sadness or even relief, and both are valid. Counselling can offer a warm, supportive space to talk through what’s changing and explore what this next chapter could mean for you.

I’m not a silent counsellor—I believe in working together, having real conversations, and finding understanding through gentle reflection and support.

If you’d like to talk, I offer online video counselling sessions on weekday daytimes. You can message me on WhatsApp at 07841 954337 or email me@angelawratten.com to arrange a session.

I’m winning at life... Well, this morning I am 😉

Came back from a session this morning and there was a cup of frothy hot chocolate ready and waiting, courtesy of the in-house barista (is that the right term for a hot chocolate maker?).

What are you doing for World Mental Health Day?

It’s not too late to do something kind for yourself, and maybe for someone else too, today.... because you matter .... you really do 💛

Are you thinking about starting counselling but unsure if it’s the right step for you?

I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute consultation call where we can talk about what you’re looking for, how online video counselling works, and whether it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure—just a chance to ask questions and see what might be helpful for you. I currently have availability on Tuesday and Thursday daytimes.

Are you looking for a supervisor that offers more than supervision of your client work? I'm very down to earth and like to work in a supportive and flexible way with my supervisees to meet their business, personal development and their client needs.

I'm person centred/TA in my training background but I'm upfront and do share my experiences and thoughts during sessions. If you want a silent supervisor then that's not me 😜 I work collaboratively and like to support my supervisees to explore together - we often end up enjoying a good debate, back and forth as we learn about and explore their work. We are more than counsellors in PP, we are business owners and human beings as well.

One of the things I've enjoyed the most in setting up my own PP was the opportunity to learn, organise, plan and develop my business to suit my strengths and to use my transferable skills from previous careers. I especially like working with supervisees setting up or looking to build up their PPs.

Here's my website for a better sense of how I work: https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/supervisor_76908.html

If you are interested in a free consultation/introductory call then send me a WhatsApp message/text on 07841 954337 or messenger and we can go from there. All the best in your search for a supervisor.

Hope you are all ok. I know it can be a tough time of the year for many, even before you factor in the impact that the cost of living etc is having on people and their relationships. If you are struggling please reach out to a friend, family or neighbour or the Samaritans 24/7.

In the New Year, if you decide that online video counselling could help you then feel free to reach out to me as I am taking bookings for January. Take care, Angela
