At times, the world can feel heavy. Many people are heading into the holidays carrying uncertainty, grief, pressure, or exhaustion. If that is you, you are not alone.

At RAQ, we believe relationships matter, especially during challenging times. They are often where people find comfort, strength, and hope.

This holiday season, we invite you to focus on what is within reach.

Connection - Connection can look like a simple message, call, or check in can remind someone they are not forgotten.

Inclusion - Inclusion can look like compassion, respect, and a commitment to bringing people from all walks of life together.

Courage - Courage can look like having honest conversations, setting boundaries where needed, and asking for support when things feel too hard to carry alone.

Hope - Hope can look like remembering that small moments of care and kindness can make a real difference, even when the world feels heavy.

Looking after yourself and your relationships these holidays are one of the most powerful ways we can support one another.

We wish everyone a safe and peaceful holiday season and look forward to working with you to build stronger relationships in 2026. Together, we'll find a way.

As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to all my clients for the trust, openness, and courage you have demonstrated in our counselling sessions this year. It has been an honour to work alongside you. 💕🫶 I'm pleased to inform you that my schedule for December is now fully booked, and I look forward to reconnecting with many of you in January 2026. I wish you a peaceful Christmas and a safe, relaxing break. Take care of yourselves and one another.
Warmly, Andrea & Marlow 🐾🫶 Healing by the Bay Counselling Services Cleveland.

Christmas can bring joy, love laughter,and pressure. ✨️🫶❣️

If you’re already feeling stretched, this is your reminder 🦋

✨ You don’t have to say yes to everything
✨ You’re allowed to take breaks
✨ Boundaries protect relationships, they don’t ruin them
If this season highlights what’s not working, January is a powerful time to reset.

✨️ January sessions are now open online 🙌
Support for individuals & couples who want to start the year feeling steadier, clearer, and more connected.

Wishing you all a restful Christmas holiday. 🎄😘

End-of-Year Check-In for Couples ✨️❤️

As the year comes to a close, I want to gently encourage you to do something many couples don’t slow down enough to do — set aside time to intentionally reflect on your relationship in the last twelve months

Not in the middle of conflict. Not in passing. But by actually booking a date with one another and asking, “How are we really going?”

What worked this year?
What felt hard?
What do we want to carry into the next year and what needs to stay in 2025.

You don’t need perfection or big answers. You just need willingness and a little space to talk.

If this year stretched your relationship, let the next one begin with intention! not reaction.

Walk & Talk Counselling

A fresh way to begin 2026 ☀️

Walk & Talk sessions are now available at Healing by the Bay Counselling Services, starting January 5th at 6:00am.⏰️

These early-morning sessions take place along the bay, offering a gentle space to move, breathe, and talk things through. Walking side by side can help thoughts flow more freely, ease overwhelm, and bring a sense of clarity that often feels harder to reach indoors.

This option is ideal if you want to

Feel calmer and clearer when you’re moving

Are drawn to nature as part of your healing

Want to reset your energy and focus for the year ahead

Prefer a relaxed, grounded approach to counselling

No rush. No pressure.
Just meaningful conversation, fresh air, and the steady rhythm of the bay.

🕕 6:00am Walk & Talk sessions — limited availability
📍 By the bay
📅 From January 5th 2026!

Bookings for Walk & Talk sessions are being accepted directly via this post only.
The usual 8:00am in-room sessions remain available through my standard booking system.

Step into 2026 feeling more grounded, supported, and clear. 🌤🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Pausing to reflect is just as vital this time of year! Reflecting on the journey ahead.

You’re allowed to change.

You’re allowed to want something different.

You’re allowed to set a boundary without justifying it to anyone else.

And with the holidays coming, this matters even more - because you’re about to spend extra time around people who expect you to play the same old role, tolerate the same old behavior, or say yes to things you’ve outgrown.

Comment a ❤️ if you needed to hear this before the holidays.
