'I came to Miriam as I was feeling completely disconnected in my life. I was deeply unhappy and felt isolated despite being surrounded my people. My journey with Miriam is one I could not have imagined or hoped for at the start. She created an incredibly safe environment for me to come into each week. This, along with her compassion and patience allowed me to truly explore myself, my feelings and how I had come to where I was in my life journey. Honestly I am still shocked with how much was within me just waiting for someone with Miriam's skills to help unlock and understand. She is a phenomenal person to share such an experience with and I am privileged to have met her and have her travel some of the road with me. I am now continuing my journey with a new compassion and love for myself and a deepening integration into the world around me.' - Derek

'I decided to attend therapy with Miriam to work on what I described as a chronic feeling of unrest, of just not being at ease with myself. Over a number of months Miriam helped me to unpick a number of causative factors, to identify and understand the current-day contributions of some negative childhood experiences, and, most importantly, how to sit with the related feelings and emotions I experience as a result. This has taught me how to recognise triggers, and reclaim power and agency in everyday situations. While I know there is always more to work on, and that I will most likely return to explore further, I now feel I have a number of coping mechanisms to work with. I am much more at ease with myself.' - Brian

The tree illustrates the ability to survive and thrive in the harsh conditions of the desert.

Just like nature, by adapting and bolstering our resilience, we can thrive throughout our life - through peaceful and challenging times.

Counselling & Psychotherapy can assist in uncovering and developing your innate support system that will be with you all of your life.

Take care and go well,

Our judgements, likes, dislikes, prejudices, greed and ignorance are conditioned and reinforced by our mind and create distress.

Imagine what it would be like to let those beliefs and thoughts slip away!

The question we can ask ourselves is 'does it serve me to think in this way?'

By cultivating compassion for ourselves and others will help us move towards a more peaceful inner and outer world.

Take good care and go well,

Robins symbolise hope, renewal and rebirth. Without always being consciously aware we are part of nature and nature is part of us, just like us all creatures are impacted by the changing seasons.

Take a stroll in nature, be there and really see, touch, hear, smell and taste what is around you and see how you feel afterwards!

Take good care and go well,

Peace is a state of calm and tranquility. A disturbance to our peace can be created inwardly in how we treat ourselves or outwardly when others, like friends, family, employers, or countries, try to create 'peace' by force. Without respect and understanding peace is hard to cultivate.

Compassion for ourselves and others can support us to move through the challenges we face to find our peace.

Sending you all love and light, take good care and go well,

Our thoughts roam and trigger an emotional response within us that we perceive as positive or negative.

When we reality check our thoughts asking 'is this a fact or fiction?' helps us develop our awareness and discern what is real in our experience.

For example....
The thought: 'that is so typical of me, I have always been someone who struggles with x'
The emotions: disappointed, sad, annoyed, fearful, shame
Fact: This is a sweeping statement. There are examples where I have overcome this issue in the past
Fiction: This is typical of me, I am someone who struggles with x.

We have the power to support ourselves in how we think and feel. Strategies like asking ourselves the question 'fact or fiction?..' can support us become mindful of our internal world.

Take care and go well,

'Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it.
Even though you want to run.
Even when it's heavy and difficult.
Even though you're not quite sure of the way through.
Healing happens by feeling.' Dr. Rebecca Ray

Supporting ourselves to live our best lives and be our own best friend in the present moment will inform how we think, feel, be... RIGHT NOW!

We don't need to wait.. we wait consciously or unconsciously by thinking thoughts like 'I'll do X when....' try supporting yourself to reframe the thought to 'I can do X now..'

Small actions today will support our future self tomorrow.

Take good care of you, you deserve a contented and peaceful day... everyday.

The beauty of the breathe is it calms our nervous system down. Even better, we don't need an app, meditation or teacher to guide us, our body knows exactly what to do!

Our breathe is our anchor back to this moment. Try paying attention to your breathing and start to take some nice slow, steady, deeper breaths and notice the immediate benefits.

Connecting with the anchor of the breathe gets us out of our head, back into our body and this moment... while helping reduce symptoms of anxiety like fear, racing thoughts, rapid heartbeat and shallow chest breathing.

Take care and go well,

Miriam

Love is a mix of emotions like respect, affection, protectiveness and more...
We spend a great deal of our lifetime focusing on our beliefs, society and culture influences of what a loving relationship 'should' be with someone else.

The longest relationship we will ever have is with ourselves.
Reflecting Imelda May's poem inwards resonates.. to love myself is to accept all versions of myself and feel loved enough to love myself that much.

Self development is like putting a 'work in progress' sign up. We strive to understand ourselves with clarity and insight, to show compassion, love and kindness to ourselves every day, to show up for ourselves and be our best friend.

Some days we manage that and others we don't every day with some curiosity we learn a little more.

What is self care and how do I begin? Self care means prioritising you and taking care of yourself.
The key aspect of self care is looking after your basics needs - eat, sleep, exercise, add in pleasurable activities that you enjoy and know when it is time to stop, rest and recover.

For some the prospect of 2022 is a positive one, for others there is a sense of dread of what is to come.

When life gives us lemons.. there is always an opportunity to make lemonade if we choose to. Meaning we can face any challenge we encounter in life, learn and thrive from the experience depending on our perspective.

Individual counselling and psychotherapy sessions are available with Miriam @ Spring Sanctuary Counselling & Psychotherapy offering an non judgmental, supportive space to process and move forward with new insight and awareness.

Spring Sanctuary Counselling & Psychotherapy

The inspiration for setting up Spring Sanctuary Counselling and Psychotherapy was to offer holistic services to my community who are seeking support in their life. When it comes to life's challenging and rewarding times sometimes all we want is to be heard and understood without judgement or receiving advice.

​The grounding of my practice is based on a humanistic existential view point. I apply a person centered approach and believe that every human is unique. Everyone is responsible for implementing active change in their own lives.

I will support you by focusing on your strengths and what gives you purpose and meaning in life.

​Too often we are told by our society and culture what we 'should' and 'should not' do, say, believe and feel. I offer a supportive environment to find what lies beneath. In my practice you will be provided the time and space to discover what truly matters to you and what will help you fulfill a meaningful and purposeful life.
