✨ Struggling with guilt or shame? You’re not broken , you’re human💜

My name is Lisa Kalmkoach, and I’m a qualified counsellor based in St Helens, Merseyside, supporting women who feel overwhelmed by guilt and shame.

Many women I work with carry heavy emotional burdens, feeling like they’ve failed, disappointed others, or aren’t “enough.” These feelings can quietly affect confidence, relationships, and self-worth.

Through a compassionate, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, I help women:

🌿 Understand where guilt and shame come from and the difference in these 2 emotions.

🌿 Separate who they are from what they’ve been through.

🌿 Develop self-compassion and emotional resilience.

🌿 Feel safer being themselves , without fear or self-blame

Therapy isn’t about fixing you ! Your not broken.
It’s about creating a space where you’re truly heard, understood, and supported.

If you’re looking for counselling in St Helens or Merseyside, and want gentle, relational support to work through guilt and shame, you don’t have to do it alone.

💬 You deserve kindness , especially from yourself.

I work 3 ways with my client's- face to face, phone and online. I offer a free 15 minute information chat to discuss how we would work together and how talking therapy can help you.

I am passionate about holistic health care and I often blend talking therapies with other holistic treatments if appropriate and if mutually agreed.

Just reach out to plan your free chat or send any questions to📧 mrskalmkoach@gmail.com

Breaking the power of shame ✨ often silent, unshared, secretly carried, this feeling of "what is wrong with me, I'm flawed, I'm broken !

Talking therapy with the right therapist is a powerful way to break down the hold of shame ✨ it takes it from being in the darkness lurking to a compassionate presence. Your human- no apology required 💜

Dear diary... 16.1.26 💜

January so far..... ✨

Professionaly ***- After alot of deep reflection, journaling and processing I have taken a courageous step to niche my counselling/ talking therapy service✨ I have been thinking about this for a long time.... who are my clients? Who do I attract? What aligns with me as a professional helper.... so here goes. A good 80% of my talking therapy clients are Women..... not much of a bombshell there 😬
Additionally to this there is always 2 words, 2 emotions that come into the therapy room... sometimes subtle and sometimes apparent ✨ GUILT & SHAME ! Different emotions yet you often here them together. These emotions link to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, people pleasing, low self esteem and a struggle with boundaries.YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST, MY NICHE ✨WOMEN guilt and shame 💜

Personally***As I really don't tend to fit the I am perfect therapist model .... I am human and I will allows be myself which means sharing my mood this week in moments has been FLAT ! You know that flat were you can feel your face touching the floor and you have to scoop it up 🤦‍♀️🤣 I'm now a master of tracking my mood and I can compassionately say it's a perimenapusal thing, my body is producing less of the hormones I need resulting in a low / flatness ! The absolutely joys of being a woman 😶 Today I dug deep inside my wellbeing toolbox 🧰 and choose exercise 🎉 50 minutes later my brain feels lifted 😊 if Tomorrow feels the same I'll nip in my toolbox again 💯

Highlight*** ✨ I was very brave on Monday... I recorded episode 1 of the Kalmcast podcast 🎙kinda felt like a show as this episode was just me 👀 coming soon 😍 excited to be back in the studio on Monday with a co-host 🥰

Mood ***😬 brave and confused.
Brave for the podcast recording, confused due to my mood drop and not realising why again until I checked my mood tracker 🙄

Anxiety level *** 4 out of 10 ( 10 being highest)

Daily life lesson/ reflection *** A raised self awareness of the flat feeling! It's in my tone of voice, movement, energy..... 💜 your not alone!

Until another day ....

Dear diary.... 7.1.26 💜

Today is my birthday 🎂🎉🎂 42 year's young.

Professionaly ***- Apart from responding to one therapy enquiry email work has been completely off bounds 🤣 I shared Yesterday how I refuse to work on my birthday 🙏🎉so nothing really to report here!

Personally***I've had a lovely day ! It's been so long since I've had a pamper.... its always me holding space for other people but Today was my pamper day ! No guilt.... my gift from ME to ME 🎁 I booked myself a Japanese head spa at The Snug Spa ✨✨ honestly it did not disappoint my scalp felt so fresh and clean, just a relaxing experience 💜 Thank you Kelly.
My day was flourished with meaningful cards, beautiful gifts and blooming flowers ✨ I had 2 family visits from my mum and cousin.The day ended with my favourite humans at home eating birthday cake ( homemade cupcakes by my Mum may I add) 😍 🎂

Highlights*** ✨ My Japanese head spa 🎁 my oldest daughter gave me half a hug & family visits😍

Mood *** Content comes to mind 😌 & grateful.

Anxiety level *** 2 out of 10 ( 10 being highest)

Daily life lesson/ reflection *** I liked my treat to myself this morning and I'm not going to leave it so long until I do something for me again 💯 chilled Mum ... chilled home. Lastly I ate my Birthday cupcake without guilt ( seriously other year's I'd feel bad , like I've failed January... old patterns I'm very aware of👀)

Dear diary.... 6.1.26 💜

January so far..... ✨

Professionaly ***- Monday wasn't a dreaded back to work feeling... the day was slow .. a bit of work blended with some boring administrative stuff like insurance renewals ect ... I made a short to do list ( 3 actions) and ticked them off when completed. I mindfully only planned online and phone clients so I didn't have additional pressure of travel or having to clean the work space. Top therapy conversation 💡a newish client gaining more self awareness of their behaviours when their anxious 🙏🎉

Personally***I've intentionally choose a slower pace...I've not put that usual January pressure on myself. I'm listening to my intuition and nature to soften my " go big or go home attitude "
I'm still in hibernation mode ( naturally) and I'm not feeling guilty about it. My celebration moments are I've opened my new diary and began to write down some new ideas and taken the time to stop, pause and reflect on the direction I'm travelling in with my business.
I've also made some healthier food choices since the 1st of January.. ! I've gone back to my banana on toast with a sprinkle of cinnamon breakie 😊 & the slow cooker is back out

Highlight*** ✨ with the girls going back to school I got to indulge in my Monday therapy... Costa coffee and a book 🤣 I did say Monday was a slow pace.

Mood ***😬 I've chosen Anxious and gratitude

Anxious based on that natural anticipation of adapting back to School and traffic ( in the snow )
Grateful for central heating, warm food, hot showers, fluffy socks and hot drinks! Can you see the theme 🔥🤣

Anxiety level *** 4 out of 10 ( 10 being highest)

Daily life lesson/ reflection *** I process alot of my thoughts on the morning school run .. so much in fact I don't recall the journey... ( hypnotic driving state 👀 )

THURSDAY 1st JANUARY 2026

I wanted my first guidance of the year to feel gentle.
No pressure. No big declarations.

You are allowed to matter in your own lives.
You don’t have to disappear into caring for everyone else.
Kindness can start inward.
If this finds you today, take it as permission to begin softly.
One small, kind step at a time.

31/12/2025

I'm spending NYE in York ✨ after atleast 16 years on my couch at home 😂
However you spend this day let there be hope of a gentle, compassionate and peaceful 2026 ✨
All the best to my family, friends, clients, old, current & new connections💜
