Everyone experiences grief in their own way. While well-intentioned, certain common phrases can unintentionally cause more harm than comfort. The following slides highlight five of these sayings and offer compassionate reframes to support rather than wound.

If you are grieving, please remember you don’t have to navigate this alone - reaching out and talking to someone can make a difference. You are welcome to connect with me at alison@iristherapyservices.co.uk or call 07835221235.

👷🏼‍♂️𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲👷🏼‍♂️

In construction, safety is non-negotiable. We gear up everyday to protect ourselves physically, but what about protecting our mental health?

Men in construction are statistically more at risk of su***de than workers in most other industries. Long hours, physical strain, pressure on site, it all takes its toll.

Talking about stress, burnout or anxiety should be as 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 as doing a toolbox talk.

We talk about strength in construction, it's not just about dealing with heavy loads, but also about solving problems under pressure and working through tough conditions.

Let's redefine 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛:
👷🏼‍♂️It's about being open
👷🏼‍♂️It's about checking in on your mates
👷🏼‍♂️It's about asking for help when you need it

👀𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 '𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝' 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 👀

Remember, you are not alone. There is always someone to talk to: friends, family, work mates, counsellors, Samaritans (📞116123).

What a fab day yesterday … great meeting at BNI Horizon - Southport first thing where we had a fab talk by Jake Worrall and I gave a brief chat about my business and handed out birthday shortbread! (Those that know me know I love to bake!)

So I’m not only celebrating my birthday yesterday (thank you to all those that have sent me birthday wishes! Means a lot to me) but it is also my business 3rd year anniversary too!

My good morning continued with a client bringing in cake and the ladies at Martland Mill (where my office is) surprised me with flowers and bottle of bubbles!

Today has continued to be just as good. What’s your day looking like today?

I wish everyone a happy Thursday and hope you have a fabulous day. Keep smiling folks! 😁

25/06/2025

What is your Wednesday looking like?
After my BNI meeting this morning (which was fab and a great talk by Steve Haw from Southport Market Blinds), instead of going back to the office I decided to stay around the Waterfront Hotel in Southport, have a brew and catch up on some paperwork.

Looking forward to delivering certificates later for First Aid for Mental health to last weeks group, working with some online clients today before wrapping up the day at Coast Birkdale for Southport Business Group - if would be wrong not to have a cheeky drink whilst there!

Happy Wednesday folks! Enjoy your day wherever it may take you 🙂

Had a lovely visit yesterday in between clients to Rainbow Hub. Such a lovely, welcoming place. What they offer children (and their parents) in support, eduction, life skills etc. and the new purpose-built building is amazing!
Anyone fancying doing an abseil off the cathedral they’ve got a couple of spaces left for next week! Money raised goes to supporting children with additional needs and conditions have the best quality of life!
Thank you Vicki for showing me around!

🧠 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱? 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

In fast-paced work environments—especially in education, healthcare, and caring professions—stress often becomes the norm. But when stress goes unmanaged for too long, it can lead to something deeper: 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁.

💡 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 is typically short-term and tied to specific tasks or deadlines. You might feel overwhelmed, but you're still motivated to push through.
🔥 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁, on the other hand, is long-term. It shows up as emotional exhaustion, lack of motivation, and even physical symptoms like fatigue or illness. It’s not just about having too much to do—it’s about feeling like you can’t keep going.

As a counsellor and mental health trainer, I’ve seen how common burnout has become—often unrecognised and untreated.

🗣️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀? 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀.
Counselling offers a space to slow down, process what you’re feeling, and reconnect with what you need.

You don’t have to wait until you hit a wall. Support is here.

📩 DM me if you’d like to chat about how counselling or mental health training could support you or your team.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck—𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥.

You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Speaking to a counsellor provides a safe, confidential space where your thoughts and feelings are heard, without judgment.
