Cognitive Healing CBT Counselling

31/12/2025

This year has been a challenge for me too. Not in a dramatic, headline way, just in the quiet, human way that life sometimes is.

As therapists, we’re still people. We still have hard days, self-doubt, relationship breakdowns, grief, stress, and moments where simply getting through is the achievement.

And that’s okay.

CBT doesn’t teach us to “be positive” or to pretend things haven’t been hard. It teaches us to notice, to respond with compassion, and to recognise resilience (even when survival is all we’ve managed).

So if all you did this year was keep going, that is enough. I'm proud of you. You don’t need to justify it. You don’t need to compare it. You survived and that matters ❤️

Happy New Year,

Jo 🥂

A few adults could benefit from this too. Comparing and despairing ruins joy 💕

It can be difficult not to listen, but this is someone else meeting you where they are with all that brings. It's not you. You know who you are 💕

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day – a reminder that looking after our minds is just as important as looking after our bodies.

Let’s break the stigma, open up conversations, and show compassion to ourselves and those around us.

Remember: it’s okay to ask for help, it’s okay to rest, and it’s okay not to be okay. Together, we can create a kinder, more understanding world. 💜

💜 October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month 💜

It’s important to remember that domestic abuse isn’t only about physical violence. Abuse can take many forms which are often invisible, but just as damaging.

Have you ever explained why you’re upset, only to be told you’re too emotional, too much, or even that you’re the one at fault? That’s gaslighting. That’s abuse.

Have you found yourself justifying every small purchase while your partner spends freely? Have they taken money from a joint account, or made big financial decisions without discussion, while expecting you to explain necessities? That’s financial control. That’s abuse.

Have you been made to feel wrong for wanting time together, for seeking closeness or intimacy? That’s emotional abuse.

Have you been pushed to doubt yourself even when you have clear evidence your version of reality is correct? That’s psychological abuse.

Have you been criticised or made to feel guilty for going out alone, seeing friends, or doing activities without your partner? Have they checked up on you, monitored your movements, or demanded explanations for your time? That’s coercive control. That’s abuse.

Abuse doesn’t always leave bruises. It can be woven into words, finances, control, and manipulation. Recognising these patterns is the first step toward breaking them. 💜

If you recognise yourself or someone you care about in this, you are not alone. Support is available:

National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247 (free, 24/7).

You deserve safety. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to heal.💜
