Happy 2026 folks! Hoping everyone has a happy, healthy, and safe year ahead.

My goals for 2026 include:

- be slightly more active posting on social media/advertising: attempt to post something once a month (not hopeful on achieving this, but will try)
- to spend more quality time with family by organizing quarterly gatherings
- to go out of my way to genuinely compliment strangers more often
- to take more breaks outside without screens

What are your goals for the year ahead?

For those of you whose new years resolutions involve working on their mental health, to feel free to look at www.rlcw.com.au and see if I'm the right counsellor for you. Day and evening appointments available.

Because family violence often happens out of sight, the signs can be hard to spot.

But trust your gut. If something feels wrong, chances are you’re right.

Today is Are You Safe at Home? Day - a day that encourages individuals, workplaces and communities to take action by asking a simple but powerful question: ‘Are you safe at home?’

Visit www.areyousafeathome.org.au to learn more about the signs of family violence, and what you can do to help.

If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, phone:

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Holidays!

Wishing everyone a happy festive season (whatever that may look like in your home), please be safe if travelling, and may 2025 bring good things your way.

I will be back in the office Jan 13th, and look forward to the opportunity of working with you on those new years goals.

Cheers
Rebecca

Celebrating 3 years of running RLCW.

Thank you to all those who have helped make this venture successful - whether that be by trusting me enough to give me the honor of being your counsellor, by suggesting my services to potential clients, by providing mentoring and support, or by just being encouraging.

Here's to another year of chatting on the blue couches 💙

Thank you to those who let me know the website was down. It was a technical issue on the domain host's end.

Everything should be back up and running as normal now on www.rlcw.com.au and you should be able to manage your bookings online again.

If anyone experiences any additional difficulties please don't hesitate to let me know via text or email.

Thanks :)

Today is R U OK? Day.

It can be confronting when someone says they are NOT ok, and we may not know how to respond. Here are the R U OK Day suggested steps.

Step three may involve encouraging your person or supporting your person to get in touch with RLCW, their GP, a phone support line, or another support service.

This is a tactic I shall be using on my own self talk henceforth because sometime, I, too, am a talented human mess.

Counselling aims to be a safe space to feel it.

I suggest at having a read through the blog link and/or watching the video there in.

What types of rest are you going to intentionally engage in for your self-care this weekend?

Be honest: Do you get plenty of sleep but still feel exhausted? You might need a different kind of rest! Here’s a checklist to help you identify what’s missing.

One thing I love most about being a counsellor in private practice is that I can tailor sessions to suit your needs.

Lego therapy (yes an actual thing - I know, how awesome) is a type of creative therapy that can be used to practice skills such as self and co-regulation, focus, anger management, and distress tolerance. .. and you get to take home the cool things you've made at the end. 😁
