❄️ Snow reminds us of stillness — and therapy helps us find it within. ❄️
Just like a fresh snowfall softens the world, therapy can create a quiet space where thoughts settle and clarity emerges. In the calm, we discover strength, compassion, and new ways to navigate life’s challenges.
At Space2BHeard, we believe everyone deserves that peaceful moment — a chance to pause, reflect, and grow.
🌟 Take time for yourself today. Let the snow inspire you to slow down and listen to what you need.

🧠 Today is International Men's Day
A moment to reflect on how we can positively impact the wellbeing of men and boys—and open up honest conversations about manhood, masculinity, and mental health.

💬 The reality:
Men are 3x more likely to take their own lives than women.
14 men die by su***de every day in the UK.
We must make it okay for men to ask for help—and find it.

👥 Local support that makes a difference:
🔗 Andy’s Man Club – Free peer support groups for men
🔗 Men’s Sheds – Community spaces for connection and purpose

🌱 The Unconscious Fear of Progress 🌱
This might seem counterintuitive, but for some, the idea of being "better" or "healed" is terrifying. Therapy has become a familiar, albeit sometimes painful, part of their identity.

What this feels like:
🔹 Loss of identity: "Who am I if I'm no longer the person in therapy?" You may have built a narrative around your struggles, and now that those struggles are more manageable, you're not sure how to define yourself.
🔹 The unknown: The future without the safety net of therapy is a vast unknown. Staying in therapy, even when it's no longer necessary, can feel safer than stepping into a life you've never fully lived before.
🔹 Fear of success: You might fear that if you're successful, people's expectations of you will rise, or that you'll have more responsibilities, which feels overwhelming.

💭 Healing isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about navigating the emotional terrain of change, identity, and growth.

🕊️ Remembrance Day | Honouring Courage, Holding Space 🕊️

Today, we pause to remember.

We honour the lives lost, the bravery shown, and the resilience carried through generations. The poppy reminds us not only of sacrifice, but of the importance of peace, reflection, and community.

At Space2BHeard, we hold space for stories—those spoken and those still waiting to be heard. On this day of remembrance, we invite you to reflect, connect, and support one another in compassion.

SAD- my experience

As the seasons change and the days get shorter, many of us notice a shift in our mood and energy. For me, this time of year can be particularly tough. I often feel more tired and lethargic, and mornings can bring a wave of anxiety when the whole day stretches ahead. Everything feels that bit harder - small jobs become bigger, and I find myself with less patience and more overwhelm.
Over time, I’ve learned a few things that really help me manage these feelings:
🌤️ I try to plan something for the morning to get myself up and out - it makes a big difference to my mindset. I also try and listen to the radio whilst I get ready- music always makes me feel happier. If I can I will spend time with friends or family to make sure I am busy, so those long days don’t drag.
🧣 I prepare for the weather, so it doesn’t become a barrier: umbrella, hat & scarf are ready to go.
🕯️ Evenings are for comfort - candles, my favourite wax scents, a long hot bath with a podcast or music playing, blankets, and my trusty slow cooker make dark nights feel cosier.
It’s not always easy, but I’m learning to see the good in this time of year too. The changing leaves make for lovely walks - even with kids, it can be fun to collect things, do a bit of foraging, or just enjoy the sensory side of autumn. And on those rainy days, there’s nothing better than curling up for a movie marathon (or my favourite - a good series binge) with hot chocolate and popcorn.
Let’s not forget the little celebrations that brighten these months- Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas… little things to look forward to that breakup the darker days.
If you’re finding the darker months difficult, please know you’re not alone. SAD is common, and support is available. Be gentle with yourself, reach out when you need to, and find comfort in the small things that make you feel grounded.
And remember that spring always comes again. 🌸

🧠 It’s National Stress Awareness Day Stress affects us all—but how we manage it can make a huge difference to our wellbeing.
Here are 5 simple ways to take the pressure off:
1️⃣ Breathe intentionally Try box breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat.
2️⃣ Move your body A short walk, stretch, or dance break can release tension and boost your mood.
3️⃣ Talk it out Stress thrives in silence. Share how you’re feeling with someone you trust—or reach out to a support service.
4️⃣ Limit overwhelm Break tasks into small steps. Prioritise what really needs doing today.
5️⃣ Find your calm Whether it’s music, nature, journaling, or meditation—make time for what soothes you.
💬 At Space2BHeard CIC, we offer trauma-informed counselling and wellbeing groups to help you manage stress in a safe, supportive space.
📍 Based in Hull & East Riding 📞 Not a crisis service, but we can help you find the right support.

🧠 November is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠
At Space2BHeard, we’re standing with men everywhere to break the silence around mental health.

A Personal Reflection on Men’s Health and Connection
By Ben Bradshaw - Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (TA) & Valued Minds Assessment Officer

Every November, there’s a welcome focus on men’s health, particularly on talking, checking in and challenging stigma. I am often reminded that men don’t always need to be told to talk, they need to feel safe enough to be heard.

It is common for men to carry messages about what it means to “be a man.” Be strong. Don’t cry. Sort it out yourself. These rules can make it hard for men to reach for help, or even to recognise when they need it.

I am also familiar with these rules, of what a man “should” be. I’ve wrestled with the same ideas about masculinity that so many of my clients bring into the room. I’ve lost three brothers to mental health related deaths and those losses continue to shape my understanding of how urgent these conversations really are.

What I’ve learned, personally and professionally, is that men often find ways to express pain without using words. Sometimes through withdrawal, anger, humour or silence. Beneath it all is often a longing to be understood and to connect. In my work, I hope to create a space where feeling doesn’t equal failure and vulnerability is met with respect.

Men’s health also extends beyond emotional wellbeing. Physical health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, heart disease and diabetes remain leading causes of death for men, often compounded by a delay in seeking help. The same cultural scripts that tell men not to show emotion can also stop them from booking a check-up or mentioning symptoms that worry them.

This Men’s Health Awareness Month, let’s challenge the quiet assumptions that tell men to tough it out, and instead remind them that asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. I know this message is shared a lot, but I believe this is a broken record that needs to keep spinning.
