Working with new parents is one of the areas that I specialise in as I have so much experience of working with parents and I know first hand how difficult this time can be. I’m pleased the BACP have launched this new campaign.

Let me know if I can help, taking on new clients from mid September 💕

Love this post from Psychological Treatment. It goes against parenting instincts to see our children upset or worried but it’s important that we teach them how to handle these emotions and most importantly that it’s normal to feel them!

Anyone else stationary obsessed? I have convinced myself that this new diary will be the answer to all my prayers and I will now be super organised and I’m going to do my neatest writing ever! We will see!🤣 anyway, with all this organising I have decided to make some changes to my work hours from September to better suit the changing needs of my family as well as my energy levels. There won’t be as many after school and evening apts available but there will still be enough don’t worry!💕

Hello all, more of a personal post from me today (it’s a long one, so settle in!) as I have had some new followers I thought I would repost about where the name Willow Tree Counselling came from.

Although I had been dreaming about starting my own private practice for many years, it took me a long time to decide on the name. One of the reasons I finally landed on Willow Tree is there is the most beautiful willow tree pictured below right opposite my house. I am drawn to it. I love watching it, taking pictures of it and writing about it.

One of the most valuable traits of the willow tree is its flexibility. The willow tree is one of the few trees that is capable of bending in outrageous poses without snapping. This can be a powerful metaphor for those of us seeking recovery or a spiritual path. The message of the willow tree is to adjust with life, rather than fighting it, surrendering to the process.

The willow reminds us to let go and to surrender completely to our innermost selves. And, to gain a deeper understanding of our subconscious. Another powerful symbolic meaning of the willow tree is its adaptability. The willow tree’s ability to not only survive but also thrive in some of the most challenging conditions. We can also look at how the willow tree encourages the expression of deep emotions, including grief and sadness through tears and teaching us the value and consequences of love and loss. One of the greatest symbolic meanings of the willow tree is that even through great loss we have the ability to grow and there is potential for something new.

The willow tree represents the strength, stability, and structure of the trunk, standing firm and withstanding the greatest of challenges. The branches are flexible and strong, bending without breaking. The leaves represent the balance, harmony, and growth we experience through these storms and life challenges. The willow tree gives us hope, a sense of belonging, and safety. Furthermore, the ability to let go of the pain and suffering to grow new, strong and bold.

The image of the willow tree is our path to stability, hope, and healing, just like I hope Willow Tree Counselling Wrexham will be for those who need it.

Enjoy your evening 😊

I got what I needed this weekend, time to be creative, it’s always good for my soul, despite being a hot sticky mess!🥵 Thank you The Journaling Queen and Glass Deva Chester 🌟
My creative cup has been filled and remember that not only am I a person-centred counsellor, I’m also a creative counsellor so if any of my clients ever wish to try something a little different please let me know, there’s so many benefits for this way of working, although I’m not booking anyone else in now until mid September 💕

What do you need from this weekend? I need time to be creative so that’s exactly what I’m doing! On my own today for art journalling and tomorrow with my lovely family trying a glass workshop! It’s too hot for me to be out for long, can’t seem to cope with the heat like I used to so my plan is perfect! Plus there’s coffee and cake! Hope the weekend gives you whatever you need 💕
