Upcoming Fee Update

I want to inform you that there will be an increase in my service fees effective Monday, 1st September 2025. While my prices have stayed the same since 2022, rising operational costs have necessitated this change.

The updated pricing will be available on my website by Wednesday, 27th August.

If this price increase poses challenges for you, please reach out. I’m more than willing to discuss any concerns you might have, as your well-being is my priority.

Thank you for your continued support.

Motivational Monday – quote of the day

Understanding and navigating our feelings can often feel overwhelming… It’s important to acknowledge that the journey through counselling can vary greatly from person to person. Not every session will unveil life-altering insights, and that's perfectly okay. What matters is that these conversations can provide comfort during difficult times, help us gain perspective, tackle significant life changes, or simply create a safe haven for us to reflect on our true selves and the reasons behind our choices.

As I wrap up a particularly demanding week, I’m looking forward to taking some time for self-care and relaxation. I genuinely hope each of you finds a moment this weekend to pause, breathe, and tend to your own well-being.

Wishing you all a peaceful and fulfilling Friday. Remember to take good care of yourselves—you deserve it!

Therapy is a journey we embark on together, and I understand that being open can feel vulnerable. Your willingness to share your thoughts and feelings is a courageous step toward healing. While I am here to offer guidance and support, it's your openness and commitment to introspection that truly pave the way for meaningful change.

I encourage you to share openly with me or another counsellor. This foundation of trust is essential for fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship, where you can explore your feelings, grow as an individual, and work toward positive transformation in your life.

Remember, therapy is a partnership. Together, we can navigate the path to healing and personal development. Your honesty and openness are vital parts of this process, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Fertility challenges can be incredibly difficult to navigate, and they often lead to significant changes in a couple's relationship. It’s completely normal to feel more emotionally distant or to need some space from intimacy during this time. Many individuals experience feelings of guilt or self-blame, especially if one partner is identified as the main cause of the infertility. Please know that you are not alone in this journey, and there is support available for you.

I’m here to help.

If you or someone you care about is finding it hard to cope, I encourage you to reach out for support. Don’t hesitate to call me today for a FREE 15-minute telephone consultation: 07530 553 983.

I recently watched a 2019 Tom Hanks film in which he played children's TV presenter Fred Rogers. A true story, 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood' explores how kindness and empathy serve as powerful antidotes to cynicism.

There was a particular line delivered by Tom Hanks that struck a deep chord with me, both personally and professionally. It resonated so much that I hit pause to jot it down, and I just have to share it with you:

"Anything that is mentionable is manageable."

It’s such a simple statement, yet it carries profound weight. It reminds us that opening up and talking about our challenges can lead to healing and understanding.

I understand how challenging it can be to navigate mental health issues, and I want to share my experience. For me, taking an antidepressant at one point in my life was a valuable part of my journey, especially when combined with other lifestyle changes. It's worth noting that in high-income countries, many people—about one in seven in England—are also finding relief through these medications for conditions like depression and anxiety.

However, antidepressants including SSRIs can come with side effects (which I experienced too). Worryingly over the years that I’ve worked as a nurse and latterly as a counsellor, some individuals have found the side-effects intolerable and have suddenly stopped their medication without letting their healthcare professional know. This sudden stop leads to withdrawal or discontinuation symptoms.

Please, please, if you're considering discontinuing your SSRIs, I encourage you to have an open conversation with your GP. It's crucial to navigate this process together, ensuring you receive the care and guidance you deserve. Please remember not to stop taking your medication suddenly—your well-being is the priority.

In my counselling sessions, I often notice the importance of assertive communication. It's common for people to confuse assertiveness with aggression. Being assertive means honouring both your needs and the needs of others, while aggression tends to overlook the perspectives and feelings of those around us in favour of one’s own interests.

Understanding this difference can be crucial in fostering healthier interactions and relationships. If you’d like to learn more, please visit my website: www.counsellinginwrexham.co.uk.
