It’s Friday again!

A full day of clients and supervisees today in airdrie.

I am feeling really good today, looking forward to the weekend! How’s you all doing?

29/01/2026

I decided to give myself an extra day off this week as time back for the day off I worked at the beginning of the month.

It’s all about balance, which can be more challenging when you work for yourself!

If you’re feeling the winter blues, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Winter can feel heavy.
The days are shorter, the light is softer, and energy often dips without us really noticing why.

You might feel flatter, more tired, less motivated, or more inward than usual.

Our bodies and nervous systems are sensitive to seasons.
Less daylight, colder days, and a slower pace naturally invite more rest.

Alongside kindness and gentler expectations, a few simple things can help:
• taking a daily vitamin D supplement
• getting outside in daylight, even briefly
• keeping some structure to your days
• warm, nourishing food and drinks
• movement that feels supportive rather than demanding
• staying connected, even in small ways

Nothing here is about fixing yourself.
It’s about supporting your system.

If things feel harder right now, you’re not behind.
You’re simply moving through winter.

And like all seasons, it will ease, especially when you meet yourself with care along the way.

How’s Monday treating you all? 🤍🙏🏼🩵🤍🙏🏼🩵

As Fridays go, this one is particularly blissful. Lovely ambiance for breakfast after my overnight stay at the Tudor hotel.

Coffee was amazing, 10/10 🤍🤍👌🏻🤍

Good morning, this was my lunch company yesterday, the mighty William Wallace and Ayr’s finest bird, the mighty seagull. You are never alone with your sandwich in Ayr 🐧🐦😁😁😄

Why counsellors have supervision & do CPD? all the way through their careers

Counselling isn’t something you “qualify from” and then just repeat forever.

We work with real people, real pain, real complexity.

That means we don’t do this work alone.

🔹 Supervision is where counsellors take their work to be reflected on, supported, and ethically held.
Not because we’re doing anything wrong but because another skilled mind helps us see what we can’t see on our own.

🔹 CPD (continued professional development) keeps our knowledge fresh.
Trauma science evolves.
Neuroscience evolves.
Best practice evolves.
And so should we.

This ongoing learning and oversight protects:
• clients
• counsellors
• the therapeutic relationship itself

It keeps the work safe, ethical, and alive.

So if your counsellor has a supervisor and keeps training?

That’s not a red flag.

That’s professionalism.
That’s responsibility.
That’s care, for you and for the work.

It’s Friday again ✨

I’m at The Hive in Airdrie town centre today — four clients, then this evening I’m meeting friends. Fellow counsellors who also get to do the amazing, humbling work that we do.

A full day, a good day.

Thought for the day ⭐️⭐️

There’s something quietly nourishing about doing meaningful work by day and laughing with people who get it by night.

15/01/2026

It’s another Thursday in the hive.
Eight clients today so busy busy.
Feeling ready to get started, sun is shining and we have some blue sky ahead.

I am going to start trialing new logos for my business to incorporate my old company name.

Let me know what you all think of this one

13/01/2026

So after changing my business name to reflect my life now, I have found myself due to trademarking licences unable to use Solas as my business name.

I will therefore be changing it back to the original name of Sally Railley Counselling & Psychotherapy.

This does not change how I feel about my life or my profession, I will still be delivering the same services to my wonderful clients.

I may be thinking of some other changes soon to do with where I deliver my practice but this is still in the planning stages for now.

I wish to take this opportunity to be very grateful that I get to do what I do for a living, it truly is a blessing that I will never take for granted.

Sally 🤍🙏🏼🤍

07/01/2026

I know I said I wouldn’t work on my day off again… and yet here we are.
I tell myself it’s because I need to see all my clients in the first week back after the break.

In reality, I don’t.
That’s just a story I tell myself.

Every day, I come across people (myself included) running these little internal narratives — quiet, convincing explanations that make our choices feel necessary, justified, or unavoidable.

“I have to.”
“There’s no other option.”
“It won’t work any other way.”
“I’ll rest later.”

Most of the time, these stories aren’t lies exactly — they’re just outdated.
They were once useful. Protective. Sensible, even.
But they quietly keep us living slightly out of alignment with what we actually need now.

The work isn’t about judging the story or forcing yourself to behave differently.
It’s about noticing it.
Pausing long enough to ask: Is this still true for me?

Sometimes the most regulating thing we can do isn’t rest, or productivity, or pushing through —
it’s honesty.

And today, honesty looks like this:
I could have rested.
And I’m learning to be okay with seeing that clearly.
