This is a fantastic and free peer support service for blokes who might be struggling a bit with their mental health.

Share it with your sons, dad's, brothers and mates.

I've recently had an increase in male referrals to private counselling and I always promote Andys Man Club with the men who contact me. Its free and it's with other blokes who can connect together.

Good Morning All,

Hope everyone is well.

We are back tonight from 18:30 (Start time 19:00)

1st time.....bring a mate for support or come down and we will look after you and support you.

Hello from a very sunny Formby beach. I've been a bit quiet on here recently due to a family bereavement.

I am still doing some counselling work but have greatly reduced my hours until May.

Today, I took a full day off from everything + went to the beach with my sister and our two dogs.

It was the most beautiful, relaxed day.😊💜

Hi, I just wanted to send a big thank you to my clients, who I've had to reschedule or cancel this week.

Thank you all so much for being so patient and understanding. It means so much to know you stick with me at times like this. 💜

My mum is still in hospital with no discharge planned soon, so I will not be taking on any new client consultations. At least until we get an idea of the treatment plan. ( Trying to speak to a doctor is extremely difficult! 😬 )

I do believe in explaining to my clients if I have to move sessions around at short notice as being honest & authentic is important to me as I think it maintains trust.

Also, I am sending love to anyone else juggling a caring profession with caring for a loved one and/ or navigating frustratingly slow, overworked health systems and services. I see you 💜

Ever wondered what it's like to try talking therapies? Please do take a look and a listen to this podcast episode that I recently filmed with Lisa Kalmkoach Counselling & psychotherapy

In this episode we share some reflections on our own experiences, how we work with our clients and I talk about what brought me into this line of work.

I'm working today. I will be welcoming a couple of previous clients back for check-in sessions, and I've got a new client consultation.

The beauty of private therapy is that you decide how it looks. Sometimes, a few sessions are enough. Other situations require long-term work.

I'm expanding my daytime availability in April due to some new changes I'm making in my life. Exciting times ahead! 💜

Now's the time to reach out for a free chat to find out how if I'm someone that you would like to work with.

I will have extra availability for adults and teenagers. Face to face in St Helens and online across the UK.

What have I done in the last 24 hours as a self-employed counsellor?
Here's an insight into how I balance my workload and self care:
* organised my diary for the week ahead.
* met my friend for a little Monday morning walk + a catch-up.
* rejigged a client booking and a walk date with my sister so that I can take my son to an emergency dental appointment.
* had 5 face to face client sessions.
* had one telephone session with a young client who felt too overwhelmed by his adhd today to travel to his session - but he reached out, + we adjusted it to a shorter session over the phone.
* gratefully accepted a new fidget toy from a client who is using hers to avoid skin picking.
* excitedly opened my latest temu delivery of arts and crafts.
* remembered to do my daily stretches for my knee.
* Shared self-help and sleep routine resources with one of my young clients who is smashing his goals at the moment around health & fitness
* had an associate job interview... got the job! I will hopefully be working with more children, young people, and their carers in childrens homes across the North West as a result.
* had a gorgeous morning walk today with Bobbie in the sunshine.
* started writing my trailblazer character references for my young people who finish their programme with me later this month.
*got a bit of admin ticked off in Costa with their coffee + muffin offer to help ease the pain.
* checked my WiFi connection in the garden, ready to order my office pod.

I'm exhausted! It's still only Tuesday. But I love being my own boss and being able to adjust my plans to include important selfcare, health, and family priorities.💜

There will still be some that say they never knew we did home made afternoon tea deliveries on Mother’s Day, so they could send one to their lovely mum, from wherever they are in the world.

So I’m trying my best to tell you before the deadline on Thursday, as I need to shop/bake/prep ….

Do let others know so they don’t miss out!

It's a busy week ahead with 3 full days of talking therapy sessions with the trailblazer well-being project and private clients.

Talking therapies can be short term solution focussed or longer term, too. It's all led by the client and what they want to focus on.

At the Trailblazer Wellbeing Project, I am supporting each young person with therapeutic endings this month as our 3 month funded sessions will end soon.

Each young person has been supported to recognise their own strengths and resilience.

We've looked at lots of issues together linked to past, present, and future. Common themes have been challenging our limiting beliefs and developing self compassion skills.

I'm blown away by each young person's individual engagement and progress, and whilst it will be sad to say goodbye for now, I'm hopeful that everyone will be able to build upon what we've done together.

It does mean that I'm re- opening my client spaces from April as I will have more capacity to take on new clients and organisations referrals.

If you want to find out more, you can book a free, no obligation call with me.

Or send me a DM and I'll reply.

In talking therapy, there are various ways I can help you depending on what your goals are.

For some clients, being able to process and feel heard may be the initial goals.

For others, it might be learning new strategies to cope with a health condition, family relationships, anxiety, or overwhelm.

For some, it might be understanding limiting beliefs and low self-esteem through developing self-awareness and self compassion. This can be useful for clients who are struggling with substance use.

I'll go at your pace. At times, we might even have fun. At times, it might feel heavy and emotional. But I will be with you for each step that you take, and you won't be alone.

If you feel ready to reach out for a free consultation + conversation, please do get in touch with me.

I work with teenagers and adults.

What are you reading on world book day?
Here's my current read.📚

Sat in a sunny location on my work break today enjoying it.🌞

Feeling empathy for any parents/carers out there who had to rush around last night arranging book day outfits for school children. I remember it well.😬

Here it is.📢 My first ever guest appearance on a podcast. Lisa Kalmkoach Counselling & psychotherapy invited me on as her first guest. We talk all things therapy. Including some demystifying and myth busting. I talk about who and what has influenced my therapeutic practice. As well as what trauma informed means to me. I was nervous AF! But aside from the cringe of watching myself back and probably saying "absolutely" too many times, I'm proud of taking part and hope it is helpful for anyone wanting to know more about counselling and talking therapies and the way I work.💜

If you want to watch the full episode please go to Lisa's facebook account page or you can find it on Spotify I believe.( Kalm Koach podcast). It's a miracle I've worked out how to share this bit.😅
