Finally getting round to posting about the new artwork in the cabin...that I have meant to get for ages 🙈 Just to prove that Therapists are human too!
I reference both of these images a lot in sessions as I believe they are great ways to understand how we can move forward.
Small steps and get the basics in place is key to progress 💜

For EVERY man....please know it is ok to know all these things 💜

For those with men in their lives they care about, please let them know you understand, won't judge and actively advocate for them!

Our next Chatteris Menopause Cafe is tomorrow ♀️☕️🍰
Please do come along!
We will be talking all things peri/menopause as well as how to deal with January or just winter blues 💜

Our next menopause cafe is this Thursday 15th January from 7-8.30pm.

We are going to be talking about ways to beat the winter blues or the summer blues or the feel like they’re never ending blues!

Anxiety and depression can be a major symptom of menopause and can make normal life feel like an uphill struggle. It can be even more difficult this time of year. Fiona of Purple Couch Therapy is going to talk about some small and simple things we can to help ourselves through the colder, darker months.

Our menopause cafe is about building a community for anyone and everyone who would like the support and friendship of others whilst navigating peri/menopause. Join our page here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FZoBv1suh/?mibextid=wwXIfr

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday for a cuppa and some cake and a good old natter! X

Are you ready for 2026?
After a couple of weeks away, I really am ready to welcome back my lovely clients 🥰

I always end the year with a visit to the beach to see the grey seals, it's become my way to reflect and let go of the year's baggage! 2025 was no different and I took some time to appreciate how much Purple Couch has grown, started the Menopause Cafe with the lovely Nana's ladies & decided I too need a good dose of self care 🤭

I am so very proud and hugely privileged to do this work.
I thank everyone who has stepped into their journey with me or even just reached out, you are absolutely amazing 💜

If you think you are ready to take that brave step, I offer telephone or in person getting to know you appointments. Pop me a message or an email 📧

Time for some self care of my own and I'm taking some of my own advice, as I say this all the time 🤣
I am now away from all things work until Monday 5th January 2026 🥰
If you enjoy this time of year, have a lovely time however, if the festive season is a struggle for you, please reach out to friends, family or any of the helplines below 💜

Thought this short article on endings was worth a share.
I have been lucky enough to have had a really lovely end to work with a client this week for which I am very grateful 💜

Therapeutic endings can stir deep emotions. Here’s why goodbyes in counselling matter, and how they can support growth and self-understanding.

Plus it's World Menopause Day on Saturday, so what a great way to get involved ☕️🍰♀️

Super excited to be invited to come along to the Menopause Cafe this month!

Nana's Tea Room

It's menopause awareness month and all of us will be impacted with it one way or another....

You could be a husband/ boyfriend seeing their partner now struggle with day to day task

You could be a son or a daughter who's finding their Mum now being forgetful or having a shorter fuse than normal.

It hasn't got to be personally you.

every woman will go through menopause at some stage or their life.

Understanding more about it and it's potential impact may really help ❤️

What does World Mental Health Day mean for you?

For me, it's awareness of your own, as well as others' wellbeing 💚

Taking some time, in reality seconds, to check in with yourself and those around you, could mean the world of difference 💜
