Mental Health Tip of the Week: ✨ You Don’t Have to Do It Alone ✨

When life feels overwhelming, it can be tempting to pull away and keep everything bottled up. But isolation often makes the struggle feel heavier. Reaching out — even in the smallest way — can make a real difference. 💛

Connection doesn’t have to mean a long conversation or sharing every detail. Sometimes it’s just about letting someone know you’re there — and allowing yourself to be reminded that you’re not alone. 🌱

Here are a few gentle ways to reach out when it feels hard:

📱 Send a “thinking of you” text to a friend
📞 Call a family member, even just for five minutes
☕ Suggest a coffee or a short walk with someone you trust
💌 Write a note, card, or email — sometimes words come easier on paper
🐾 Join a local group, class, or volunteer project to meet supportive people
💻 Connect in an online space where you feel safe and understood
📞 Reach out to a mental health support line if you need someone to listen
🧑‍⚕️ Consider speaking with a counsellor or therapist — a safe, non-judgmental space can help you process what you’re carrying

✅ You don’t have to share everything to feel supported
✅ Small connections still count and can lift your spirits
✅ You are worthy of care, support, and kindness — just as much as anyone else

✨ This week, give yourself permission to reach out in whatever way feels doable. One message, one call, one quiet moment of connection can help lighten the load.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. 💛



If you or someone you care about is considering therapy, I offer a warm, confidential space to explore what you’re going through. You can find out more at:

Mental Health Tip of the Week: ✨ One Small Step Matters ✨

When you’re struggling, even the simplest tasks can feel impossible. It’s easy to slip into self-criticism — thinking you “should” be doing more, or that you’re not keeping up. Those thoughts can weigh you down even further, making it harder to take action.

But here’s the truth: small steps still count. Even the tiniest effort is a sign of strength, not weakness. 🌱

Try choosing just one thing each day to focus on:
🛏️ Making your bed for a sense of order
🚿 Taking a shower to refresh your mind and body
💄 Putting on makeup or getting dressed to boost confidence
☕ Brewing a cup of tea or coffee as a grounding ritual
🚶 Taking a short walk or stepping outside for fresh air
📖 Reading a few pages of a book or article
🧘 Spending a few minutes stretching, breathing, or meditating
🕯️ Lighting a candle or opening a window to shift the energy in your space
🐾 Spending a moment with a pet or noticing nature around you
✍️ Writing in a journal to release your thoughts and reflect
👕 Putting a load of washing on to create a sense of accomplishment

These are not “just chores” — they’re acts of self-care and reminders that you’re showing up for yourself, even when it’s tough.

✅ Instead of aiming for everything, start with one thing.
✅ Instead of self-criticism, notice your effort.
✅ Celebrate the small wins — they’re building blocks of progress.

✨ Today, give yourself permission to start small. One step is enough. One step is progress. 💛

✨ Mental Health Tip of the Week: Rest is Healing ✨

So many of us carry guilt when we rest — like taking a break means we’re falling behind, being lazy, or not doing “enough.”

But here’s the truth:
Rest isn’t a reward you have to earn. It’s a necessity.
Rest isn’t laziness. Rest is healing.
It’s how your mind, body, and nervous system recharge.

💭 Feeling emotionally exhausted after socialising?
🛋️ Lying on the sofa instead of tackling your to-do list?
😴 Sleeping in because your body needed more time?
📵 Taking a break from your phone because it all feels “too much”?

These aren’t signs of weakness.
They’re signs of awareness — your body is asking for care, not criticism.

✅ Instead of pushing through, try pausing.
✅ Instead of self-judgment, offer yourself kindness.
✅ Even 10 minutes of stillness, a walk outside, or deep breaths can shift your whole day.

✨ Today, give yourself permission to rest — unapologetically.
You’re not falling behind. You’re honouring your needs. 💛

I understand that emotional pain can be overwhelming—especially when it feels invisible to others. This I want to remind you that your struggles are valid, even if they’re quiet, hidden, or hard to explain.

This week, take a moment to breathe, to check in with yourself, and to do one small thing that nourishes your mental space. Because looking after your mind is not a luxury—it’s essential.

Healing doesn’t have to be loud—it just has to be honest. And I am here for you every step of the way

Hello and welcome to Hand in Hand Therapy. I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Amber, and I know that reaching out for therapy is a big step—it can feel daunting, uncertain, and vulnerable. But by being here, you've already taken a meaningful step forward.

I’m a qualified psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with experience in the NHS (Sutton Uplift and Talk Wandsworth) and in private relational counselling. Over the years, I’ve supported children, young people, adults, and older adults—each on their own unique path.

Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to—or you’re a worried parent whose child needs counselling—I’m here to help. I offer therapy online and by phone, tailoring our work to what feels right for you.

Everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and valued. No one should have to suffer in silence.

I’m here to walk beside you—every step of the way.
