Please don't struggle alone with despairing thoughts. 💜

We all struggle in chapters of our life no matter who we are💔 we can often be the master of disguise when we don't want people to see the depth of our struggle but please if you are struggling let someone in. Don't let shame stop you from discussing what is happening even if you don't understand it please don't let it take hold and become your reality. Very often when we are struggling emotionally fear and negative thoughts become our best friend but believe me when I say this there is always someone willing to help you battle these emotions ( which do have some place in our thought process but it should never be our main).

Chris's House is here to help you realise your worth that your struggle is real and valid no matter your circumstances. Very often over the years I have heard Anne our founder say " nothing is unfixable" every situation will see growth in you with the correct support. Please don't struggle alone believing that no one can help💔

Here at Chris's House our trained counsellors and volunteers are all here for the same reason to help save lives to help you believe there is a better future for you. Lift the phone and call us on 01236766755 if you are struggling.

💛🖤💛🖤

Please share so people know there is help available.

Always remember there is someone who will rise with us❤ In our darkest days we find it difficult to believe or even imagine someone will sit with us untill we are able to rise. Despair, isolation, fear, self loathing and the ability to push people away are a few of the words and actions our darkest thoughts can make us believe💔

But people truly do want to help it just takes that small step of asking. Life is too short we need to live a life we will look back on and say I lived and not merely existed you deserve to live life believing you can achieve your dreams no matter what they are.

If you are struggling right now please reach out Chris's House is still fully operational our counsellors are still working via the telephone and zoom and our groups are running via zoom. Contact us on 01236 766755. 💛💛

At Chris's House
we listen; we care; we offer the loan of a wee bit of
light... until you find your own.
💛

Sometimes we struggle to find the words to express how we feel, we have all the emotions and an overwhelming sadness but no words to express to someone be it our partners,family, friends or work colleagues. We sometimes become withdrawn and snappy with the deep rooted sadness we feel.

Here at Chris's House we understand that and know the silence is the only way you can express how you feel. Please know we are willing to sit in that silence until your ready we understand that small steps are needed a little at a time. If you are struggling but can't find the words to express those emotions inside, you have a place of safety at Chris's House that will allow the silence for a little while until your ready to express those emotions.

Chris's House is here to support those in crisis, those that have lost to su***de and those struggling with suicidal ideation. We offer various groups and one to one counselling sessions💛 if you are struggling please dont struggle alone call us on 01236766755. 🖤💛🖤💛

CBT has emerged as one of the most effective treatments for a wide range of psychological problems.

By helping a client understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact CBT then assists them in developing a more constructive approach to problem solving and life in general.

I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to explore the theory underlying CBT and how it relates to your issues. Together with my counselling skills which underpin good therapeutic practice, We can work together to implement specific CBT techniques in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other common mental health problems.

Effective Therapy can be the key to a more peaceful and fulfilled life.
