We don’t see the world exactly as it is.
We see it through what we already believe.

If we believe we’re not good enough, we’ll notice every mistake we make and miss all of our strengths.
If we believe people can’t be trusted, we’ll spot every slight and overlook any kindness.
If we believe we always get it wrong, we’ll gather evidence to prove it.

Our minds are very good at confirming the story they already hold.

Where our focus goes, our attention grows.

The powerful part?
When we gently question our assumptions, we begin to see more.
More layers to the story.
More possibilities.
More balance.

Noticing your thoughts isn’t about judging them.
It’s about becoming aware of the lens you’re looking through.

And sometimes, simply recognising the lens is the beginning of change.

At Calm Space Counselling Service, we can gently work with you to explore those patterns and help you see yourself — and your world — with greater clarity and compassion.

Trauma can shape the paths we take.
What looks like “choosing the hard road” is often a nervous system doing what it learned to survive. When something feels familiar, even if it is difficult, it can feel safer than the unknown.
Healing is not about blaming yourself for where you have walked. It is about gently discovering that other roads exist and that you are allowed to take them.
At Calm Space Counselling Service, we work together to support you in building new pathways forward.
You do not have to find them alone.

Over Christmas I found myself reminiscing about the things I loved to do as a child. The simple activities that brought comfort, creativity, and a sense of calm. As an adult, life often becomes busy and those quieter pleasures can slowly slip into the background.

So, despite a busy start to the year, I decided to practise what I often encourage others to do and make time to reconnect with younger me. One of my great loves was baking. It was playful, and done purely for the joy of it.

Below is a picture of my Kinder Bueno cookie dough pie, ready for the oven. But more than that, it’s a reminder that nurturing our inner child doesn’t have to be big or complicated.

Sometimes it’s about giving ourselves permission to slow down, to play, and to do something simply because it feels good.

What did you love to do as a child, and when was the last time you allowed yourself to do it?

Anyone that has been working with me for a while knows that the last 6 months have been completely unprecendented in terms of me having to take time off.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your patience, and understanding. I would have totally understood, respected and supported anyone who wanted to seek alternative support.

I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back, I really enjoyed seeing those of you I have seen this week, and looking forward to seeing my other regular clients soon and meeting the new ones I have booked in, in the coming weeks.

Thanks once again.
