🌼 Happy Humpday! 🌼

Here’s a blooming daffodil to remind us that the long nights do stop and, like winter, the dark times don’t last for ever.

But if you need support in finding the positives, it may be worth finding someone to talk to

Welcome AJ!

2025 is my twentieth year as a qualified counsellor – so I’m marking this by opening a brand new Facebook Business page! Welcome to my (fairly small-scale) centre of operations – this is me at my little desk, where I meet a good number of my counselling clients via Zoom video calls. I also use consulting rooms in Baildon, Bingley or Saltaire, in West Yorkshire.

Counselling (or therapy) comes in all shapes and sizes, but ultimately a therapist is someone who’s trained to listen, someone who’s there to help you feel safe and get what you’re going through. Perhaps you’re tired of people not understanding you, or telling you what’s wrong with you, or trying to fix you, or providing you with solutions that don’t connect with your actual experience… and you’d just like someone to be interested in your story, first of all: someone to listen.

So if you are curious about therapy… or if you simply want to find out more, but aren’t sure about committing to sessions just yet… then give me a yell. Happy to help.

Are you experiencing grief?

It’s Grief Awareness Week and grief is something many of us have experienced and can understand.

Grief is commonly associated with the death of a loved one one, be it a friend, family member or pet and feelings of loss following a bereavement are natural emotional response. However sometimes the emotions may feel overwhelming and continue into the longer term impacting other aspects of your life such as your job and relationships.

Also grief may not be the death of a person but can be the ending of a way of life. You may be relocating or changing jobs and be excited about the prospect but it may also come with feelings of sadness.

Are you experiencing grief but feel like the sadness has been impacting your life too deeply for too long? Are you starting to recognise signs of depression? If the answer is yes, then it may be time to seek some support.

Our counsellors have a range of skills, qualifications and experience and are able to support those dealing with bereavement. Just visit our website to find out more.
