Sometimes...you just need a little space to get out and breathe.
Recognising that is such a an important self care skill.
Take a moment.
Give permission.
Look after you.

Mental health is everyone's business, yes that includes men.
It's so important to encourage healthy emotional expression, and sharing of feelings.
Bottling it up is never the way forward, it has to come out somehow.
It can be very hard to show feelings if you have been told not to.
All feelings are valid and worth sharing.

Sometimes our mental health can make us feel stuck, it is ok to need a bit of help with that.

Every day is fresh start, maybe today is the day you seek some help, or maybe today is the day something happens to change how you feel. Whatever happens, there are always ways to move forward, and always new chances in life.

What have you done to look after your today? Little things can make a big difference. I sat down with a cup of tea, and stroked my lovely cat for 15 minutes x

Mental health is part of all of us, it's part of how we all feel, it always matters, is very real, and if you need support with it...that's ok, many people do. Reaching out matters.

It's World Mental Health Day - children have always experienced mental health difficulties, and this has really been brought to the forefront sadly through the covid19 pandemic and repeated lockdowns. Unsurprisingly, children's stress levels, anxieties and mood have been impacted, lots of children will bounce back, but others will need a little more support.
If you'd like to chat to me about how I could help, do get in touch x

Did you know I'm a highly experienced children's therapist? There is a little mini post about therapy with children, you can have a look here below xx

Therapy with Children. I am an experienced therapist working with children and young people throughout Kendal and the South Lakes, but how does therapy differ for children? Children's brains are different to adults, and they need a therapeutic approach that supports that.

Sometimes you just need to feel heard.

Some people can be pretty liberal with criticism. It can be hard not to listen.
Take care of you always.
