🌟 World Children’s Day 🌟

Today we join people around the world in recognising World Children’s Day, a day dedicated to promoting the rights, safety, and well-being of every child.

This day reminds us of the importance of creating environments where children feel valued, protected, and heard. It encourages communities, families, and institutions to reflect on how we can better support young people as they grow, learn, and navigate an ever-changing world.

World Children’s Day is also a call to celebrate the resilience, curiosity, and creativity that children bring into our lives. By listening to their voices and respecting their rights, we help shape a future that is more compassionate, inclusive, and hopeful.

💙 Today, let’s honour and uplift children everywhere. Their well-being shapes the world we build tomorrow.

Do you find your friends and family often try to give you advice or solutions, when you try to talk to them about your struggles or feelings?

Do you wish they would just listen and not try to fix the situation for you?

Counselling gives you space to discuss the things that are weighing on your mind with out the fear of being judged, not being heard or having to downplay your feelings because you don't want to worry your loved one.

It gives you the freedom to really express what is going on for you and what you are really feeling.

By having this space and talking through your issues with a trained Counsellor, you will start to understand yourself better, build self-esteem and self-confidence, make long lasting changes and develop stronger coping skills.

If this sounds like the kind of support you would like, please contact us to discuss how counselling could help.

What kind of EMDR do I do?
I use something called Tapping EMDR.

Instead of following my fingers or a light bar with your eyes, we use gentle, alternating taps — usually on your hands or knees..

Why tapping?
Because it helps us stay more connected during the session. There’s no distraction — just presence, grounding, and a calming rhythm that helps your body and mind process safely.

Many clients find tapping feels more soothing, natural, and embodied — especially if eye movements feel too activating.

It’s all about meeting you where you are, and helping healing feel safe and supported.

What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) helps your brain process difficult experiences from the past that still affect how you feel and think today.

I use EMDR to help clients heal from:
✨ Anxiety and overthinking
✨ Low self-worth and self-doubt
✨ People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
✨ Pain from childhood or past relationships

It’s a powerful way to release old emotional patterns and start feeling calmer, lighter, and more like you again. 🌱

Your mental health challenges don’t define you. Your courage, resilience and strength do. 🌱
You are so much more than what you’ve been through.

💬 November is Men’s Mental Health Month 💬

At our counselling service, we’ve noticed an inspiring shift — more men are reaching out for counselling and support. This is a powerful step in the right direction. 💪

But we also know there’s still a lingering stigma. Too often, men feel pressure to stay strong, stay silent, or “tough it out.” The truth is, there’s nothing weak about seeking help — in fact, it’s one of the bravest things you can do.

This month, we want to remind every man:
🧠 Your mental health matters.
💬 Talking about how you feel is healthy.
🤝 You deserve support — without shame or judgment.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, know that help is here, and you’re not alone.
