🌿 First Session Foundations 🌿

Starting therapy can feel nerve wrecking, especially if it’s your first time and you have no idea what to expect.

At Lauren Mallon Psychotherapy we make sure to spend time early on setting a few foundations such as what choice and consent look like, reassurance regarding confidentiality, how feedback is welcome and what the therapy space is (and isn’t).

Naming these things upfront can help reduce nerves and uncertainty, help to clarify boundaries and create a sense of safety. It also supports rapport building while helping clients establish if the therapists style and approach aligns with what they need.

We also understand that sometimes a therapist’s profile, website or a 15 minute consultation isn’t enough for you to fully decide if they feel like the best fit & we are committed to allowing space for people to try a few sessions to gain clarity around what they need.

If you’d like to connect or explore therapy, we are accepting new clients and would love to answer any questions you may have or give you an idea of what therapy looks like with a complimentary consultation call.

👋🏼 Hey 2026- Let’s Talk New Years Resolution Culture!

New Year resolution culture refers to the common practice of setting goals at the start of the year, often focused on health, productivity, finances, or personal growth. While reflection and goal-setting can be genuinely helpful and motivating for many, resolution culture is often fuelled by the belief that the new year should be used to fix yourself, to be more productive, disciplined, thinner, or “better.”

This can create pressure to set rigid goals, tie self-worth to constant self-improvement, and overlook rest, mental health, and real-life capacity. For many people, resolutions come with underlying shame, unrealistic expectations, and a perfection-or-failure mindset, leaving little room for compassion, flexibility, or a slower pace.

A few gentle reminders as you think about the year ahead…

🌿Set intentions, rather than rigid goals.
Intentions focus on how you want to show up, not what you need to fix.

🌿Use prompts instead of rules. Try asking yourself:

What feels supportive right now?

What do I want less/more of this year?

What helps me feel regulated, connected, or grounded?

What do I value and what’s important to me regardless of what everyone else is doing?

🌿Work with your capacity.
Growth doesn’t have to be fast or visible to be real.
Small, consistent shifts count, especially in seasons where energy is limited. Remember you can’t always be switched on and giving 100% all of the time and that’s ok.

🌿Make it flexible.
You’re allowed to adjust your goals as life changes.
Changing your mind is not failing, it’s responding and adapting and being considerate of your ever changing needs.

🌿Stay connected to your “why.”
When motivation dips (because it will), come back to what matters to you, not what you should be doing.

🌿Notice effort, not just outcomes.
Showing up, trying again, resting when needed, these are all part of growth.

Let your growth come from care and compassion this 2026, not from the pressures of resolution culture.💚

🌿 Therapy Is…… 🌿

Starting therapy can feel really scary. For many, it brings up fears like:
“Is this going to be really painful?”
“Am I strong enough to go there?”
“What if all we do is talk about what’s wrong with me?”

And that’s totally valid because therapy is often seen as a space reserved for struggle.
A place for heavy feelings, hard conversations, and deep emotional work.
And yes, that is a big part of it. But here’s what people don’t always tell you:

Therapy can also be:
✨ Laughter in the middle of a hard conversation
✨ Feeling understood in ways words can’t explain
✨ Creative, playful, expressive
✨ Quiet, comforting, even fun
✨ A space that feels safe, steady, and truly yours

Therapy isn’t always deep dives and intense feelings. Sometimes the healing lives in the soft, subtle moments. In a small shift, a quiet insight, a deep breath you didn’t know you needed. It’s not about having big breakthroughs every time. It’s about showing up, letting the process meet you where you are and discovering, over time, that even the smallest moments can be meaningful.

So yes, it’s normal to feel afraid to start.
But know this: therapy holds space for all of you, not just the parts that are hurting.

If you are waiting for the perfect moment to feel 100% prepared & certain, or the right time to pursue a dream, a goal or to take steps forward, the truth is you will be waiting forever!

Readiness is something we have to choose, it will not show up! You don’t have to feel ready you just have to decide that you are ready! Readiness is built the moment you decide to start! Go for it!
