“What if…” thoughts can pull us into the worst-case scenario before anything has even happened, but you can gently ask back:

What if I cope?
What if it goes okay?
What if I’m stronger than I think?

Sometimes changing the question changes the whole feeling 💚

There are many reasons why this time of year can feel difficult. The shorter days mean we’re getting less daylight, which can affect our mood as serotonin levels drop. Stress and expectations often rise in the lead-up to the festive period, whether that’s due to financial pressures or social demands.
Our usual routines can also change, disrupting our balance, with less exercise, irregular sleep, or different eating habits.
And for some, this season can feel especially lonely. If that’s the case, remember to reach out and connect with others — even a small conversation can make a difference ✨️

This is why self-care is so important, it allows us to cope & recharge 😊

💬 Men’s Mental Health Matters – November Focus

💙 November is a reminder that men’s mental health matters — not just this month, but all year round.

Strength isn’t about staying silent. It’s about having the courage to talk, to ask for help, and to take care of yourself as much as you care for others.

Whether it’s through connection, counselling, or conversation — reaching out is a powerful step.

Let’s keep the conversation going this Movember and support the men around us.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the passing of Cowboys’ Marshawn Kneeland.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his girlfriend Catalina, family, friends and his teammates.

Relationships take effort, understanding, and communication — and sometimes, a little extra support. Couples counselling is about working together to understand each other’s needs, build empathy, and rediscover the connection that brought you together 💕

🌎 World Mental Health Day 2025 🌍
This year’s theme: Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.

When disaster strikes, it’s not just homes and communities that are shaken — our mental health is too. Everyone deserves access to support, especially in the hardest times 💜

Let’s raise awareness. Let’s reduce stigma. Let’s make mental health support a right, not a privilege.
