✨ End-of-Year Reflection + Book Recommendation ✨

As we come to the end of the year, it feels like the right time to pause and gently reflect on the months behind us.

This year has brought its own highs — moments of growth, clarity, connection, and breakthroughs…
and it has brought its lows — challenges, some work life balance struggles, life changes, and the unexpected!

Both are part of being human, and both deserve space, kindness, and acknowledgement.

One of the books that has resonated deeply with me this year is Mel Robbins’ Let Them — a powerful reminder that we can’t control others, only how we respond. A beautiful message on acceptance, boundaries, and choosing peace.

Other thoughtful reads from this year include:
📘 The Body Keeps the Score – Bessel van der Kolk
📘 Running on Empty – Jonice Webb
📘 Set Boundaries, Find Peace – Nedra Tawwab

I’d love to know — what helped you through this year?
A book? A quote? A moment of clarity? A mindset shift?

Here’s to gentle reflection and giving ourselves credit for everything we’ve carried, survived, and achieved. 🌿

❄️ Boxing Day Post

Boxing Day — a quiet pause after the rush.
Today is for slowing down, breathing out, and letting yourself just be.

Rest isn’t lazy — it’s recovery.
Give yourself permission to recharge, reflect, and move gently through the day.

🌿 With care,
Aberdeen Bespoke Counselling

✨🎄 A Festive Hello from ABC 🎄✨

I’ve been a little quieter on here this year — and that’s been intentional.

My focus has been on my clients, their therapy journeys, and continuing to learn, reflect, and grow as a counsellor. Sometimes that means stepping back from posting and showing up more fully where it really counts.

As the festive period arrives, I just wanted to pop on to wish you a gentle Christmas — however you spend it.
Whether this time of year feels joyful, complicated, overwhelming, quiet, or bittersweet… your experience is valid.

Thank you for being here and for supporting Aberdeen Bespoke Counselling.
Here’s to rest, reflection, and moving into the new year with kindness towards ourselves. 🌿

💫 Navigating a Challenging Family During the Holidays

For many, the festive season brings family stress rather than peace.
Old patterns, unspoken tensions, and expectations can resurface quickly.

Here are a few things that can help:
🌱 Remember you’re allowed to have boundaries — even with family.
🌱 You can limit time or topics that feel unsafe.
🌱 Plan small “escape breaks” — a short walk, time outside, a mindful breath.
🌱 If conflict arises, focus on calming your body rather than fixing others.
🌱 Remind yourself: you don’t have to play old roles to survive the day.

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is protect your own energy.
You’re allowed to choose peace over performance this year.

Aberdeen Bespoke Counselling
Gentle support for those navigating complex family dynamics and emotional boundaries.

🎄 Tips for Managing the Festive Season

The festive season can be joyful — but also overwhelming, lonely, or exhausting.
Here are a few gentle reminders to help you through:

✨ You don’t have to attend every event — rest counts too.
✨ Keep some routines that help you feel grounded (meals, sleep, quiet time).
✨ Notice what you need — not just what others expect.
✨ Have a “soothe kit” ready: a walk, music, a comfort film, breathing space.
✨ If grief, loss, or loneliness arise — allow it. You’re not alone in that feeling.

This time of year can stir up old emotions and expectations. Go slowly, take care, and let “good enough” be enough.

Aberdeen Bespoke Counselling
Space to breathe, reflect, and care for yourself — even at Christmas.

🪶 The “Jar of Issues” Approach

When new clients come to therapy, they often say,

“There’s just so much to work on — I don’t know where to start.”

It’s completely normal to feel that way. Life’s challenges rarely come one at a time.

One gentle way we begin is by writing each issue or theme on a piece of paper and placing them all in a jar.
Each session, the client chooses one piece to explore — something that feels manageable that week.

It helps bring a sense of choice, control, and emotional safety.
Healing doesn’t happen all at once — it happens one piece at a time.

🪞 Which “piece” of life would you feel ready to look at today, if you gave yourself the space?

Reflection, slowing down, and acknowledging how far you’ve come

As the year draws to a close, it can be easy to focus on what we haven’t done or the goals we didn’t reach.
But what if you paused for a moment and acknowledged everything you’ve held together this year?

The quiet resilience.
The boundaries you set (even the small ones).
The moments you showed up when you could have hidden away.

December doesn’t have to be about pressure or perfection. It can be about reflection, compassion, and gentle endings.

✨ Take a breath, and notice — you’ve done more growing than you realise.

Book recommendation to end your 2025 or start your 2026. I’ve read this amazing book and recommended it to most of my clients. There has been fantastic feedback on it too “had so many light bulb moments” “it’s changed my way of thinking” “I’m just going to let them from now on” 😊😊😊 Aberdeen Bespoke Counselling highly recommends this one - if you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated in life - this one’s for you!🥰
