Marches Counselling Service

09/01/2026

When the weather is as cold as it is and weather warnings are issued, it can be very isolating. Make sure you don't isolate yourself. Take the opportunity to get in touch with friends or family you've not contacted in a while. Write a journal, sort that cupboard/room you've been meaning to for ages, try that hobby, finish that craft project or make plans for trips or visits to make when the weather improves. Stay positive and if you can, think of others who may be finding it hard too and reach out to them.

If you are struggling, we are a charity providing affordable, confidential counselling. We don't have a waiting list or limit the number of sessions you attend. You can contact us on 01432 279906 or email admin@marchescounselling.org or get in touch via our website www.marchescounselling.org where there's a new request for counselling form.

January can be tough. The harsh weather, the dark nights, the festivities are over and many events don't run this month. It can be a very lonely time for many.

Don't forget friends or family who may be on their own. It's not always through choice. Those who are also grieving may be finding it especially hard to reach out to others.

Dropping a note or message or making a call to a friend or family member can make a huge difference to others.

If you are struggling yourself, we are a charity providing affordable, confidential counselling. We don't have a waiting list or limit the number of sessions a client attends. You can contact us on 01432 279906 or email admin@marchescounselling.org or get in touch via our website www.marchescounselling.org

Action for Happiness's ideas for a happier January.

The festive period will have put the mental health of many to the test. Perhaps you found being sociable difficult, trying to be the perfect host or provide the perfect gift. Perhaps it was a difficult time because loved ones are no longer with you or you have few friends or family to share it with and assume everyone else is in a different situation. Perhaps the pressure of finances stretched over the period followed by all those must have offers, added to your issues? Perhaps a break from work highlighted you are not in a job you enjoy but you don't feel positive enough about yourself to find a new one.

Did you enter 2026 making lots of New Year Resolutions for a new you, a new way of living, a new approach to life and it's many ups and downs? Given up on some already? Need help to look at things from a different perspective and a lasting way? Have you thought of seeing a counsellor or psychotherapist?

As the year turns, it offers us a gentle opportunity to pause and reflect. The new year can invite us to release what no longer serves us and step into fresh beginnings with hope and courage.

For some, the start of the year, can also feel very difficult and at times even impossible. Facing change, letting go, or stepping into something new can stir uncertainty, worry and even pain.

Whether you’re seeking healing, growth, or simply a safe space to talk and explore your journey, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Counselling may help. We are a charity providing affordable, confidential and professional counselling. We don't have a waiting list or limit the number of sessions a client attends.

Looking back on 2025, your achievements may not feel like they match up to those others post on social media or talk about but you got through it and that's ok as an achievement. The achievements of others won't reflect reality, the struggles they went through to get there, the ups and downs of life. Don't let them impact on how you feel about what you did. For some, getting through the year was a challenge itself and that's enough to celebrate.
