Join us at our next CALM KIDS Workshop where we will be helping children who struggle with anxiety.

In the workshop we will:

🌟 Learn all about anxiety - what is it, how does it show up for us, why do we have it?

🌟 Learn strategies for coping with it

🌟 Learn how to self-regulate

🌟 Do some fun crafts

🌟 Do some relaxing meditation and mindfulness

A great way for children to make new friends, learn how to better manage their emotions and have fun at the same time!

The children will bring home what they make along with a goody bag and a resource pack for parents to further support at home.

Spaces are limited and booking is essential. We keep the group fairly small to enable to children to get the best experience without feeling overwhelmed.

To book:

DM or email

Thank you once again to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting our work and enabling us to continue offering these workshops to local families 🙏🏼

Hey all 👋🏻
I’ve been a tad quiet on this page of late - that’s not to say I’ve not been busy behind the scenes. 😉

When I started my counselling journey I always knew I wanted to do something amazing 🌟 I wanted to embed myself within my community - I wanted to make change, real change.

Working in a local secondary school I absolutely believe I make that change 💫 I love the work I do with my students and I’m forever grateful that I get to do the job I do 🙏🏻

But I want to take it one step further. I want to be able to offer counselling support within my community and hopefully one day offer a similar set up to Basildon Mind (where I am forever grateful to have completed my placement) and who offer free and low cost counselling. 🌈

Mental health support should not be for the elite it should not be for those who ‘can’ afford it - counselling and mental health support should be available to all. ❤️

And so myself and good friend Therapy with Janine have joined forces and we have created a safe space in the heart of our community where we offer counselling support to adults and young people from 11+

Our goal in 2024 is to be able to offer free and low cost counselling to anyone aged 11+ - and we believe this goal can and will be achieved. 💪🏻

Please take some time to follow our page The Essex Therapy Hub Ltd and please refer any friends or family to our services.

Also please share our posts so we can reach as many people as possible ❤️

Thank you for your continued and ongoing support 💫

Just completed a great refresher training session in safeguarding, specifically focused on keeping children safe in education. It's so important to stay updated and informed on the latest strategies and protocols to ensure the well-being and protection of our young ones.

During the training, we covered various topics such as recognising signs of abuse, understanding the impact of neglect, and learning how to respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns. It was a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share in creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.

By staying informed and proactive, we can actively contribute to the prevention and early intervention of any potential harm. Let's work together to implement robust safeguarding measures, promote open communication, and empower children to speak up if they ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

Remember, safeguarding is not just the responsibility of educators and professionals; it's a collective effort that involves parents, caregivers, and the entire community. Together, we can make a significant difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of our children. Let's prioritise their protection and create a brighter future for them. 💪🏼

🌟 Exam Results Day: Remember, It's Not Everything! 🌟

Today is exam results day, and we know it can be a mix of emotions. But here's a gentle reminder: your exam results do not define who you are as a person, especially when it comes to your well-being and happiness. 🎓💖

While exams are important milestones, they are just one part of your journey. Your worth and potential extend far beyond a piece of paper. Your character, resilience, creativity, and kindness are qualities that truly matter.

Remember, life is full of opportunities and experiences that will shape you into the amazing individual you are meant to be. Your worth is not determined by a grade or a mark. It's about the person you are, the values you hold, and the positive impact you make in the world.

So, whether your results are what you expected or not, take a deep breath and be kind to yourself. Embrace the lessons learned, celebrate your efforts, and keep moving forward with determination and a growth mindset.

Your journey is unique, and there are countless paths to success and fulfillment. Trust in your abilities, follow your passions, and believe in yourself. You have the power to create your own definition of success and happiness.

We are here to support you, no matter what your results may be. Reach out to your loved ones, mentors, or counsellors if you need guidance or a listening ear. You are never alone in this journey.

Congratulations on completing your exams, and remember, your worth goes far beyond any grade. You are capable, resilient, and destined for greatness. Believe in yourself and keep shining bright! ✨💪

Over the summer it has been a whirlwind of emotions and growth here. I have been working tirelessly to support my clients and create a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. I am so grateful for the trust they have placed in me.

From morning till evening, I have been engaged in meaningful sessions, helping individuals navigate through their challenges and find inner strength. Witnessing their progress and resilience is truly inspiring!

But the day doesn't end there! I also have some exciting meetings lined up to brainstorm new ideas and initiatives that will further enhance our services, not just one to one therapy but the wonderful work we do I am constantly striving to improve and provide the best possible support to my clients with my amazing partner

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all my clients for their courage and vulnerability. It is an honor to be a part of their journey towards healing and personal growth. I am here for you every step of the way!

If you or someone you know is in need of support, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. My doors are always open, and I am ready to listen and help.

Have you ever thought: “I’m fat.” “I’m old.” “I’m not enough.” “I was young once.” To all my female friends from 30 years and up, most of us are going through the next phase of our lives. We’re at that age where we see wrinkles, gray hair, and extra pounds. We see the cute 25-year-olds and reminisce. But we were also 25, just as they will one day be our age. We aren’t the “girls in their summer clothes” anymore. What they bring to the table with their youth and zest, we bring our wisdom and experience. We have raised families, run households, paid the bills, dealt with disease, sadness, and everything else life has assigned us. Some of us have lost those who were nearest and dearest to us. We are survivors. We are warriors in the quiet. We are women, like a classic car or a fine wine. Even if our bodies aren’t what they once were, they carry our souls, our courage, and our strength. We shall all enter this chapter of our lives with humility, grace, and pride over everything we have been through, and we should never feel bad about getting older. It’s a privilege that is denied to so many.💞💞💞

Ladies, I challenge you to copy and proudly paste with your picture and age!
