This has been my Saturday! Starting the exciting journey of training to be a Clinical Supervisor! I’ve wanted to do this for years but now finally seems like the right time. I was super nervous before I started and was aware of all that negative self-talk about whether I could do it or not, but I know how much learning can come from stepping outside your comfort zone, and so, on I went! Now I’m just looking forward to more learning over the next few months 😊📚
When did you last step outside your comfort zone and how did it feel?

I am so guilty of thinking I should have done more with my year when in fact, when I truly take time to reflect, there have been glimmers of beautiful progress all along ❤️
Thank you for the reminder 🥰

How many of these do you relate to?! A couple for me 🙋🏼♀️ What do we really mean when we constantly say we’re tired? Could be worth some reflection today ☺️

Some really useful tips here from 🙏🏻
It’s never easy to have difficult conversations. You don’t have to be an expert. Just someone who is willing to listen openly, without judgement ❤️

A lovely little reminder ❤️ We often give and give to others and completely forget to fill our own cup up. You deserve all the love you give so easily to others ❤️😌

“You are not responsible for anyone’s distorted perception of you. Stand firm in your own light and truth.”
A beautiful reminder that sometimes people will see what they want to see and we can’t change that. We can only trust in ourselves and move forwards ❤️

My name is Karen Schumann and I run Olive Tree Counselling, which is a private practice based in Stotfold. I have my own room at home which is private, safe and comfortable. I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Thank you for coming to my page and for thinking about the possibility of starting Counselling. This is not an easy decision to make and can feel quite daunting. Taking that first step isn’t easy, which is why I’ve tried to include as much helpful information here, and on my website as possible. It is also why I offer a free 30 minute first initial session, so that you may come along, find out some more information and maybe ease some of the anxiety about counselling. On my website, you will find information about the type of approach I use, what that is and what to expect from your first session. Please visit - www.olivetreecounselling.com
The Person-Centred approach can be used with adults and young people to work with most issues. Some of the things I have worked with include - depression, bereavement, loss, anxiety, relationships issues, self-esteem, self-harm, birth trauma, domestic and sexual abuse and many more. In our sessions you will receive empathy and kindness in a safe, warm, non-judgemental space. Together we will explore your thoughts and feelings to help you gain self-awareness and to help support you in moving forward.
Life can be so tough at times and it can be helpful to talk to someone outside of your family and to have time just for you. Sometimes being heard can bring such relief.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or any reassurance you may need. Thank you.
