Today is #BellyLaughDay
Laughter is good for our mental health, it releases endorphins which lift our mood and helps us to connect with others.
What gets you roaring with laughter? What benefits do you feel from laughing?

It's #BlueMonday today, the day calculated to be the most depressing of the year and this year it may be hitting you harder than before.
How are you?
If you are struggling reach out to talk to someone. You matter.

It is the beginning of #HouseplantWeekUK
They all need different amounts of light, water and nutrition and studies have shown that speaking kindly to them can also help them grow. Imagine that, what an impact our words have on plants, each other and ourselves.

I love this quote by Brené Brown.
It is nice to be liked, but this can sometimes be at the expense of being true to ourselves and our values which impacts on us in different ways.
How authentic are you able to be? What happens when you are and aren't?

Which way up does your world feel?
Life can be stressful and you are not alone. If it ever feels like it's all too much, reach out to someone who can listen and support you. Hang on in there, you matter ❤️

Clients sometimes say to me ‘but I can’t draw’.
Creative therapy isn’t about fine art, it is a way to express our emotions, bring awareness to them, make sense of them and see what changes we might want to make. #creativetherapy #creativityheals #counselling

I needed to catch a train today and it was like a mini adventure! I felt excited, free and independent with a twist of anxiety. What adventure would you like to go on? What emotions would it bring up for you?

Feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs doing?
Take a breath and notice where you are.
Take a moment to smell the roses.

What is normal and do you want to be it? Counselling can support you to embrace your wonderful uniqueness and release you from pressure to be like everyone else.

I hear a lot about pressure coming from expectations at the moment, particularly directed in towards ourselves. Being compassionate can provide great relief from pressure we may be feeling.

Feeling restricted? Like there is not enough space for you to stretch your wings? How can you find some space for you? A walk on your own, a cuppa and a book, time away from social media...?

Balance feels extra challenging at the moment. The news can bring up lots of feelings; fear, anxiety, anger, isolation, frustration and uncertainty. Taking time away from social media, meditation, taking action on things I can control and gratitude are helping me. What helps you?
