✨ This is what it is all about

Here are things I loved hearing in session this month: honest moments, tiny breakthroughs, and people choosing themselves one step at a time.

You can too, step into 2026 with you as the priority: info@hgtcounselling.com

✨A healthy relationship isn’t the one that lets you disappear into old patterns — it’s the one that gently calls you back to yourself.

Real love holds up a mirror.
It asks you to stay when your instinct is to run.
It invites communication when silence feels easier.
It nudges you to grow, heal, notice, and meet your inner child with compassion.

And this is why real love can feel scarier than chaos ever did.
Chaos lets you stay unchanged.
Love asks you to rise.

If you’re doing this work — imperfectly, slowly, honestly — I see you.

💚Two things can be true:
It can feel uncomfortable and it can be the healthiest thing you’ve ever chosen.

🥀The holidays can stir up a lot when you’re grieving — memories, emotions, loneliness, or the ache of things that look different this year.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone, and you’re not expected to “be merry” just because the calendar says so.

Remember: there is no right or wrong way to move through this season.

Go slowly. Be tender with yourself.

Hope doesn’t mean forgetting — it means finding moments of light while carrying what you love.

Reach out, we are here, and we get it: info@hgtcounselling.com

In a few supportive sessions, we’ll explore what’s going on in your life—at your pace and in your own words. Counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions, gain clarity, and make meaningful changes.

🌿Fun fact:

Therapy isn’t always neat and tidy — sometimes your brain is a goldfish, your
feelings hide, you laugh at the wrong moment, or you stare at the clock like it owes you money.

And if you’ve ever forgotten your therapy homework, lost your train of thought, cried, laughed, rambled, or had absolutely no idea where to start…

🎉Congratulations — you’re doing therapy exactly right.

Being human is weird. Healing is human.

And therapy embraces all of it — the messy, the awkward, the emotional, the “I swear I had a point,” and the “why am I crying again?”

Come exactly as you are. It all belongs. 💛🛋️

❄💔Happy Holidays… but what if they aren’t?

This season can be warm and magical for some — and incredibly heavy for others.

If the holidays have never felt joyful for you…
If you’re grieving a loss of a loved one...
If your mental health is tender…
If this year looks different because of a breakup, distance from loved ones, family boundaries, or simply needing space…

Please remember: it’s okay.
All of this is grief. All of this is valid. And you’re not doing it wrong.

Here are a few gentle ways to support yourself through the season, even just a little:

✨ Uphold old traditions if they feel comforting; they can bring warmth alongside the sadness
✨ Set boundaries around events and expectations. Protect your energy.
✨ Let yourself cry. Tears are a release, not a setback.
✨ Ask for help — from a friend, a partner, a counsellor. There are people who will sit with you in this; you do not have to do this alone.
✨ Light a candle in their memory.
✨ Create an ornament or keepsake to honour someone you’re missing.
✨ Make a small altar or space with photos or items that help you feel connected.
✨ Walk in nature and talk to them as you go. You may notice a soft sense of closeness arise.

This season doesn’t need to be merry to be meaningful.

Whatever your holidays look like this year, your feelings matter — and you deserve compassion, care, and room to simply be. 💛

Fact: The voices/narratives in your head aren't yours.

They are recordings. Your parents, your teachers, your bullies, your exes.

You have been replaying other people's opinions and hurtful words for so long that you think they are your own. They aren't. Turn off the recording, change the tape and find your actual voice.

We can do this together.

❄️ Winter Weather Update ❄️

Your safety is always my priority.

As we head into storm season, I want to make things as easy and predictable as possible. If Queens schools are closed, you can expect an email from me letting you know that appointments will be moving to virtual (video) or phone for the day. This helps everyone stay off the roads and safe.

If the weather causes a power or internet outage on my end, I’ll contact you right away, and we’ll reschedule.

My hope is to keep support consistent while also taking good care of one another through the winter months. If you ever have questions, please reach out. 💙

Stay warm, stay safe.

If you want to join a class, start running, join a gym or travel, don't wait for company. Sooner or later in these activities, the right people will find you. Like-minded people find themselves. Alignment doesn't happen by waiting; it happens by moving forward, even when no one is watching.

Action builds motivation, not the other way around. Stop waiting for motivation, do the thing, and then you will want to do it more.

Do you.
