💬 World Mental Health Day

Mental health isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.

You don’t have to “have it worse” to deserve help, and you don’t have to hit rock bottom before reaching out.

Counselling isn’t about being broken — it’s about giving yourself space to breathe, understand, and move forward.

Let’s keep normalising conversations about mental health — not just today, but every day.

09/10/2025

You can’t always change what’s happened.
You can’t control what other people do.
But you can decide what you do next.

That’s the hard bit — owning your part in how you move forward.
That’s where counselling helps.
Not by fixing life for you, but by helping you find your own way through it.

😱What are you afraid of?

Afraid of being judged?
Afraid of facing the truth?
Afraid of actually changing?

Here’s the reality: you can keep running, distracting yourself, and pretending you’ve got it all under control… but fear won’t fix anything.

Counselling isn’t about weakness — it’s about guts. It’s about sitting down, being honest, and doing the hard work to move forward.

So I’ll ask again: what are you afraid of?

➡️ Book your session today and stop letting fear call the shots.

🔒 Who you talk to matters.

We’re told everywhere to “talk to someone” — and yes, mates can be great for a laugh and support. But here’s the truth: mates aren’t counsellors.

They might not know how to handle what you share. They might see you differently. Sometimes they even pass on what you told them in confidence. And that can do more harm than good.

A counsellor is different. Bound by confidentiality, trained to listen without judgement, and equipped to actually help you work through the tough stuff.

👉 I’ve written a new article on why talking to your mates isn’t always enough, and why choosing who you share with really matters.

Read it here:

We hear it everywhere: “Talk to someone.”It’s a message that’s pushed hard in mental health campaigns, social media posts, and even by well-meaning mates. And on the surface, it’s good advice. Bottling things up rarely helps, and reaching out can feel like a relief.But here’s the catch: ...

“Hi Jack, great to meet you and thanks for sharing your experiences too, and for in a way making stuff a lot simpler and clearer, thanks for confronting me with myself! Look forward to speaking again next week, and thanks also for the slight run over very much appreciated.”

Sometimes what people need most isn’t just someone to listen — it’s someone to cut through the noise, be real, and help them face what’s really going on. That’s the work we do together.

“Jack has been so helpful in my time of need. He’s a great listener and gives great advice and has really helped shift my perspective on things in my life I am struggling with. He’s friendly, approachable and most of all honest. Thank you Jack.”

I’m not here to sugar-coat things. I’ll listen, I’ll be straight with you, and I’ll support you to see things differently when you feel stuck.

🌟 🌟

“Jack offers a very grounded, much needed reality check phone call to phone call. I feel what I say lands on thoughtful ears that aren’t simply there to listen but also to help me become a better person.”

I don’t do fluffy counselling. I listen, I challenge, and I support you to move forward and become the best version of yourself.

🚗💨 Yesterday this so-called “boyracer” flew past me… and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw what he had across his back window:

👉 “Make sure you check on your mates”

It’s a simple message but an important one. Sometimes it’s the people you least expect who are carrying the loudest reminder.

Check in. Send that message. Make that call.
You never know how much it could mean.

“Got to say the sessions with you were worth their weight in gold and they are still proving useful. What you do, how you come across, your approach is excellent. I highly recommend you.” – Mark

It means a lot to hear how my approach continues to make a difference long after the sessions end. Counselling isn’t about a quick fix – it’s about giving you the tools to keep moving forward. 💪

⭐ Client Feedback – 5/5 ⭐

Clare has kindly shared how counselling continues to make a difference for her:

👉 Creating a safe space to open up.
👉 Compassion with straight-talking guidance.
👉 Support that’s genuinely life-changing.

Counselling isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about ongoing growth, recovery, and having the right support to move forward.

Thank you, Clare, for trusting me on your journey.

Too many people try to lock it away, pretend it’s not there, or let it run wild and destroy everything in its path. But what if you could learn to work with it instead of against it?

In my latest blog, I break down how anger and intense emotions can actually become a powerful tool for growth – if you know how to handle them.

https://www.justjackcounsellingservices.com/post/the-beast-in-the-cage-harnessing-your-anger-and-intense-emotions-as-a-powerful-tool

Stop fighting your beast. Start learning from it.

We’ve all felt it — that surge of anger, that rush of adrenaline, that “beast” inside us that’s ready to break free. Some people fear it, others try to bury it deep. But here’s the truth: we can’t get rid of it entirely, and we shouldn’t want to. Your anger and intense emotions are p...
