Anna Dickson Counselling

At the moment the weather is so changeable; it feels like we've got used to expecting rain, wind and the cold. And then suddenly, out of the blue, the sunshine comes. On these days I've noticed that I instantly feel lighter and hopeful for what may follow.

We cannot control the weather, just as sometimes we cannot control how we feel day to day. But we can notice and sit with it.

On stormier days, we can go slower, expect less of ourselves and accept that it's "just one of those days". We can be patient and trust that brighter days will follow. And when they do, we can welcome them with an open heart 💞

This really resonates with me. I so often compare myself to others; I always have and I probably always will!

But today, I am enough "just as I am" ( for all those fellow Bridget Jones fans out there!) 💙

For many people the aftermath of the storm this week has been a worrying, exhausting and unsettling time. Equally, there has been a heartening feeling of communities coming together and time taken to check in on eachother.

So lovely to see the sunshine today - the calm after the storm 🔆xx

So lovely to start the New Year by receiving this testimonial. I learnt so much through working with this client and feel so priviledged to have had our time together.

"Working with Anna has been an incredibly positive experience as I navigate life with borderline personality disorder. In the past, I’ve struggled to find a counsellor I felt truly comfortable with, or someone I could connect with enough to stay engaged in the therapeutic process.

Anna’s approach has been exactly what I needed: compassionate, professional and genuinely supportive. Her guidance has helped me manage my challenges in a much safer and more constructive way, and I’m truly grateful for the difference she’s made in my journey."

New year reminders✨️ //

As the New Year approaches it can be a time for self-reflection and self-care; a time to pause and look inward, to take the first step towards healing and beginning to live life the way you would like to.
As a person-centred counsellor I follow your lead and go at your pace; I welcome with compassion and care whatever it is you would like to bring. Whether you are struggling emotionally, living with a mental health condition, dealing with difficult life experiences or wanting to understand yourself better, I will hold a space where you can just be you. Together we can face life's challenges in a way that feels right for you.
I offer face to face, online or telephone sessions. To find out more please visit my website www.annadicksoncounselling.co.uk or email me at anna@annadicksoncounselling.co.uk.

I find this really helpful. Reframing our thoughts can relieve pressure and allow us to focus on ourselves and what we value most 🎄❤️ xx

Christmas can be a difficult time for so many different reasons; life may not, for whatever reason, be how you would like it to be.

So, in what is the true spirit of Christmas, be kind to yourself and take time to check in on others.

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas 🎄xx

This is a lovely description of the approach that I use and what I can offer to you as a counsellor. What resonates with me most is "getting in touch with new, hidden or lost parts of yourself, in your own way, with a therapist's help"

Person-centred Therapist Andy Hibberd explores how person-centred therapy works, what to expect in sessions, and whether this approach could be right for you. ⬇️ http://ow.ly/aErf106qlEw
