Today is World Kindness Day 💛
A gentle reminder that care doesn't have to be loud to be felt. You can show kindness subtly and quietly, and make a meaningful difference to someone's day.

Online counselling — also known as teletherapy, e-therapy, or virtual counselling — offers a wide range of benefits for individuals, couples, and families seeking mental health support. Here are the key advantages:

🌐 1. Accessibility and Convenience
You can access therapy from anywhere with an internet connection — no need to travel to a clinic.
Ideal for people in remote areas or with limited mobility.
Flexible scheduling makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.

💰 2. Cost-Effective
Online sessions often cost less than in-person ones.
Saves transportation costs and time.
Some platforms offer subscription plans or sliding scale fees.

🕒 3. Time Efficiency
No commuting means you can attend sessions during breaks or at home.
Easier to maintain consistent attendance, which improves treatment outcomes.

🤝 4. Comfort and Privacy
Being in your own home can make you feel safer and more relaxed.
Helps people open up more easily.
Offers discretion, especially for those concerned about stigma.

🌍 5. Wider Choice of Therapists
You’re not limited to local counsellors — you can find one who specializes in your needs.
Easier to find someone who speaks your language or understands your culture.

🧠 6. Continuity of Care
Therapy can continue even if you move cities, travel, or face lockdowns.
Maintains consistent support during life transitions.

💬 7. Variety of Communication Modes
Offers options like video calls, phone sessions, chat, or email therapy.
Clients can choose the method that feels most comfortable and accessible.

🔒 8. Confidentiality and Security
Most platforms use encrypted systems to protect your privacy.
You can choose a private, safe space at home for sessions.

❤️ 9. Reduced Stigma
Online counselling feels more discreet, encouraging people who might avoid in-person therapy due to social stigma.

📈 10. Evidence-Based Effectiveness
Research shows that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Here are some ways to manage grief:

🌧 1. Acknowledge what you’re feeling
Grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, even numbness — sometimes all at once. Try to remind yourself that whatever you feel is valid. You don’t need to “get over it” quickly or feel any specific way.

💬 2. Talk about it
Sharing your feelings can ease the burden. You could talk with:

A trusted friend or family member who will listen without judgment

A grief counsellor or therapist

A support group (many communities and online spaces offer grief support groups)

🕯 3. Allow yourself to remember
Doing something to honor the person or loss can help. Examples:

Creating a small ritual — lighting a candle, writing a letter, keeping a photo or keepsake

Talking about memories or writing them down

Continuing something they cared about

🌱 4. Take care of your body
Grief is not only emotional — it affects your body too. Try to:

Get enough rest, even if sleep is hard

Eat nourishing food and stay hydrated

Move your body gently (walks, stretching, etc.)

⏳ 5. Give yourself time
Healing doesn’t follow a timeline. The goal isn’t to forget but to find a way to live alongside the loss. Over time, pain can soften, and you may find meaning or peace in ways you couldn’t at first.

🤝 6. Ask for professional support if needed
If you feel stuck in deep sadness, guilt, or hopelessness, or if daily life feels overwhelming, please reach out to a therapist or counselor — especially one trained in grief and loss. They can help you navigate it safely.

Here’s a random fact about counselling:

🧠 Carl Rogers, one of the founders of humanistic psychology, originally called his approach “non-directive therapy.” He later changed it to “client-centered therapy” because he realised that even being “non-directive” still involved subtle influence — and he wanted the client to be truly at the center of the process.
