Thanks to The Counsellors Corner for this .

'I’m ok".

Sometimes that feels like the easiest thing to say, especially when we don’t want to worry, overwhelm someone or feel like a burden.

It can be a way of protecting us from shame, vulnerability or protecting others. Or hoping that if we say it enough, we might actually start to believe it ourselves.

Friends and family can care deeply and want to be there for us.
But therapy offers something a little different because you don’t have to filter, soften, or carry anyone else while you speak.

One of the quiet gifts of therapy is having a space where you don’t have to worry about the emotional impact on the other person.

Yup being part of this unique relationship is amazing on both sides, whether in the clients chair or the counsellors .

One of my faves 🥰

There is something so powerful about being met without an agenda.
No trying to fix, control, manage or change.
Just acceptance and understanding without judgement 💗

A lovely visual of what counselling can offer you from The Counsellors Corner

Therapy isn’t about rescuing.
But it also isn’t about leaving someone to struggle alone.

This is from this mornings meditation on the Headspace app…sitting with the feelings we struggle with and then letting them go is never easy but the more we do it the easier it gets .

A great checklist to refer to when considering engaging in counselling from Counselling Directory

Not all counsellors are created equal – and choosing the right one matters more than you think.

The right counsellor will not only have the right qualifications, but will also create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. Therapy should feel collaborative, ethical, and grounded in respect – not rushed, pressured, or one-sided.

If you are considering counselling, save this checklist and use it as a guide. You deserve support that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your needs. 💓

Now here’s a thought to start the day with …..taken from my morning meditation …it comes from the idea that we spend so much time focusing on the future , whether that’s plans for this afternoon or the end of the week or month or next year that we stop valuing what’s happening right here, right now. There is a definitely a correlation between anxiety and thinking about the future and depression and dwelling on the past.
Focusing on here and now is not easy to do but here’s a simple focusing technique that may help if you want to give it a go …
place your left hand over your heart ,
notice how the beat of your heart feels,
place your right hand over your left hand, 
notice how the beat of your heart feels,
keeping your hands over your heart, breathe in through your nose,
notice how that feels in your nose,
breathe out through your mouth,
notice how that feels in your mouth,
repeat for as many times as feels right for you
all the time noticing how the Breathe feels breathing in and breathing out.
