1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem in the course of a year. This also has a knock on effect on their families, relationships, health, finances and the wider community. At present, the waiting list for talking therapies on the NHS in our area is around 5 months. We aim to support those affected by life's problems in the West Somerset area and to respond and offer appointments within a week of initial contact. We are an affordable, professional and confidential counselling service. Our counsellors are all accredited/registered members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and, as such, abide by their ethical code of practice.

⏳Strength isn’t just about handling everything alone. Sometimes, it’s about recognizing when you need support and letting others be there for you. Accepting help doesn’t make you weak—it shows self-awareness and courage.
Life becomes easier when you share your struggles, and together, challenges feel lighter and more manageable.🌿

Kindness needs boundaries too. ✨

This is for the people who feel like they're hard to love.

We can all be difficult. Every single one of us.
And the most outwardly “difficult” aspects of our personalities are often self-protective, formed because we’re afraid of exposing our most tender, vulnerable parts.

Many were raised to believe they were difficult simply because their caregivers or parents did not know how (or have the bandwidth) to support a growing human who displayed the full range of their emotional spectrum.

And so many people grew up to believe that big, core parts of who they are not lovable because their adults didn’t know how to separate their worth & goodness from their feelings or behavior.

But you are so lovable.
You — yes, you – are so easy to love.

Even with your protective mechanisms - because they are not you, and you are not them.
Your behavior is changeable, but your worth and lovability are not.

And when people can only see your protective parts, it’s because they’re also living in the world through their protective, reactive parts.

When we soften our defenses, it becomes more natural to have compassion for others’ hardness and to see it for what it is, and not to confuse it for *who* someone is. (which doesn’t mean we don’t have boundaries, but we don’t need to define someone’s essence by their pain).

This is all to say that you are lovable.
As the poet Rumi says, our work is not to seek for love, but simply to remove the barriers we have built against it.

May you soften and feel the love today.

Be your authentic self. You were born to be your own kind of beautiful, without the need for approval.

I know there’s times when you look at me and just don’t know how you can help me.
My emotions can get the best of me and I can see that you feel helpless as you watch me struggle.
Know that I’ll be okay, even if I’m sad for a time.
A lot of the time, I won’t even know why I’m down, only that I am.
Luckily, I’ve long since learned my way through those times and they don’t last long.
Those are the moments I don’t need you to try to solve my problems or conquer the world for me.
I just want you to be there for me,
To listen to me and let me vent.
I know you’re used to being the one who fixes everything, but I don’t need to be fixed and every problem doesn’t have a solution..
Those are the times you should try listen to my soul as it struggles.
Don’t be sad for me as I work through my angst, I can handle it all as I always have..
I’m just thankful you’re by my side now.
Your hand in mine is all the reassurance I need to get past what’s in my head..
The worries, the fears, the insecurities.
Often, I just need time and compassion to work through the myriad of thoughts and emotions.
If you were to ask me why I feel down, I may not even know sometimes..
But you being there makes all the difference to me, and I’m so grateful to not have to face it all alone anymore.
So, as you watch the feelings wash across my face, know that I’ll find my way..
I always do.
I know it’s hard watching the one you love struggle, but you’re doing just what I need by being there, supporting me and loving me.
I may not always be easy, I may not always make sense..
But rain or shine,
Our love will always be worth it in the end...
But please don't give up on me and us along the way.
I won't.
