Our counsellor, Andrew, leads the group on a leisurely walk around the park. During the walk, Andrew shares mindfulness techniques, and you'll have time to speak to Andrew as a therapist and meet others, too.

Andrew is also a herbalist, so you can learn about the plants and nature around the area too! 🌱

A little Friday morning reminder for you... 💜

Did you know there are several types of protective orders?

Through different routes, orders can be used as a barrier for the abuser to continue putting the person they are abusing in fear; orders can disrupt abusers need for power and control and give that person the ability to breathe.

To find out what these orders are, who to talk to about them, to help put one in place, visit https://bit.ly/482w009

🌿 Sometimes the most powerful journey we can take is the one back to ourselves.

For some people, counselling is about rediscovering who they’ve always been underneath the stress, expectations, and life’s challenges. 💭

It’s a privilege to walk alongside our clients as they reconnect with who they truly are. 💜

Domestic abuse can begin or escalate in pregnancy, with an increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, maternal mental health and maternal bonding concerns.

Always seek advice from your health professional. In Lincolnshire all health professionals are trained to respond accordingly regarding disclosures of domestic abuse and pregnancy.

🌸 October is Menopause Awareness Month 🌸

While menopause is often spoken about in terms of physical symptoms, the mental and emotional impact can be just as significant.

Fluctuating hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, can affect brain function and mood regulation. Research from UCL found that women in the perimenopausal stage are around 40% more likely to experience depressive symptoms than those who are premenopausal.

You may notice changes such as:
💭 Mood swings or irritability
💭 Low confidence or self-esteem
💭 Feelings of sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm
💭 Reduced resilience to stress

It’s important to understand how your feelings might be affecting you and how to get help if you need it. 💜

Counselling can provide a safe, supportive space to explore the emotional challenges that can come with menopause.

This stage of life is a transition, not an ending, and with the right support, you can rediscover your balance, confidence, and sense of self. 🌿

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

It is likely you will know somebody who is experiencing domestic abuse. Here are some of the ways you can help:

➡️ Listen and do not blame them
➡️ Don’t push them to leave the relationship if they are not ready - this has to be their decision when they feel safest to do this
➡️ Give them space to make their own decisions, they have been controlled enough
➡️ Encourage them to report the abuse to the police
➡️ Tell them about domestic abuse services, no one should go through this alone
