As counsellors we are very aware of the importance of connection for our emotional, mental and physical health.

And yet counselling can be a lonely existence.

That is why I set up Dorset Counsellors Network so counsellors in Dorset can connect.

Last night we had a little meet up, it was a dreary Monday night and I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave the house!

I’m so glad I did, what a lovely evening with people who ‘get’ me, people who face similar problems, frustrations, joys and difficulties.

For over 2 hours we sat and put the counselling world to rights!

Had a moan, shared our successes, supported eachother, exchanged ideas.

What better way to spend an evening.

Monday evening turned out to be not so dreary 😌

Mindful Kindness
There is a beautiful Loving Kindness meditation we practice on the last week of my Mindfulness course.

We silently send kindness to ourselves, others we love and others who we may only know in passing.

The world is a tough place to live currently and many people are struggling.

Send a kind thought to someone who might be struggling. You don’t have to tell them, just hold them gently in your awareness.

Kindness connects us, even in silence.

Who would you like to send your silent kindness to today?

Mindful kindness connects us

As always it’s been a fascinating game.

Human nature, confirmation bias and the nervous sytem playing out their roles, causing all sorts of chaos and mayhem.

Who are you rooting for to win?

Important Sunday morning question

A. One cup of tea then I will get on with the day?

B. One cup of tea turned into 4 kind of day?

C. I forgot what I was doing kind of day, but that’s ok?

Which are you A, B or C?

Acceptance is a power that can change everything if anxiety is ruling your life.

Acceptance stops the compulsive need to escape discomfort, which is a key way anxiety thrives.

By accepting anxiety, you shift from being controlled by it to observing it.

This is the first step to living a fuller life alongside it.

Mindfulness can help us move towards acceptance.

It takes practice, but continued practice can allow you to move towards
This is how it is, for now.

What could you accept today, rather than fight or resist?

Not all counsellors are the same.

You deserve a counsellor who understands you, who you feel comfortable with and who you connect with.

Counsellors are human and as such there will be some counsellors you feel you can connect with and some who you might not.

If you feel you would like counselling take the time to do your research and speak to a few counsellors before making your final decision.

Apart from finding a trained and qualified counsellor, you also need to find a counsellor that you
👌 Feel comfortable with
👌 You feel you can trust
👌 You feel understands the problems you are facing
👌 You feel you can be honest with
👌 You like
👌 You Feel at ease with
👌 You want to share how you feel

Probably the most important part of successful counselling is the Therapeutic Relationship, this is how you and your counsellor gel and build a relationship where you can both be yourself and work collaboratively together.

I offer a half price 50 minute introduction session so you can really get to know me before committing to work with me..

I want you to know you’ve found the right counsellor, and if you feel that’s not me at the end of our 50 minutes together, that’s ok, I won’t be the right counsellor for everyone.

Respond rather than React

Between what happens and how we respond, there’s a space.

In that space, mindfulness lives.

I have taken this from this wonderful quote from
Viktor Frankl, successful Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist, who spent 3 years in concentration camps including Auschwitz

It comes from his book
Mans Search For Meaning (definitely worth a read)

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom”.

The pause is where mindfulness and choice happen, allowing you to move from automatic reaction to intentional response

Where could a mindful pause help you today?
