Could anyone help with this? 💕

County Counselling are wanting to move away from stock images within our media and are looking for a couple of volunteers as models to help redo our photos on social media, posters and our website. No experience or any requirements needed and all expenses paid, if any accrued.

If you can offer between 30 mins to half a day and happy to be photographed and image shared. Please contact us by DM or email lucy@countycounselling.org.uk

🍃 Seasonal Brain Shift: Why Spring Can Feel Emotional:
Did you know your brain responds to seasonal change? As daylight increases, our circadian rhythm resets, which can boost energy but it can also stir up emotions we’ve been ‘hibernating’ from. If you’re feeling a mix of motivation and/or overwhelm right now, your brain is simply adjusting to spring.
What changes do you notice in yourself as the seasons shift?

Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential!

When we take time to breathe, rest, and just be, we strengthen our ability to cope, connect, and care for others too. Even small moments of kindness toward yourself can make a big difference.

You deserve the same compassion you so freely give to others

Self Care Saturday 💜
Breathe.
Just be.
Take time for you.

Incredible First Aid training today, provided by TNR Outdoors. Rich looked at what our counsellors may come across within their sessions, supporting their clients with really interesting discussions on common and potential physical health issues related to mental health.

If you're interested in this qualification in a comfortable environment and a small intimate group setting, to support our community in a medical emergency, please get in touch!

Understanding Emotional Overload🧠:
Many people think “emotional overwhelm” means breaking down or losing control, but it often shows up in quieter ways. You might notice:
- Struggling to make simple decisions
- Feeling unusually tired
- Becoming irritable over small things
- Withdrawing from people
- Finding it hard to concentrate
These reactions aren’t signs of weakness. They are signs that your mind is carrying more than it has capacity for right now.
Emotional overload is your system saying, “I need a pause.”
Small steps like slowing your breathing🫁, taking a short walk👣, or talking to someone you trust 🗣️ can help your nervous system settle.
If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. Many people experience it, and support is available when you’re ready ❤️

As we welcome the new year, we’re feeling grateful and hopeful about what’s ahead. We’re excited to share that we’ll soon be moving into a new premises — which means we’ll be able to see clients five days a week in a space that feels calm, welcoming, and supportive.

The start of a new year is a good reminder that growth often comes from small, meaningful steps. We’re really looking forward to continuing to support our clients and community as we move into this next chapter together.
