Because this means a lot to me personally.
I'm going to make a bet, that out of my family and friends, less than 4 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness of mental health difficulties.

Fabulous review from a recent client:

Before starting therapy I was struggling to leave the house without having a panic attack or going a day without tearing up. Four months later I have improved friendships and relationships, made massive changes at my work, had my first boxing fight in front of a massive crowd and left to travel to Ghana for 2 months to teach. But most importantly I feel happy and confident within myself something I have struggled with my whole life.

I came to Christine in early April 2021 when I was in a really low place and feeling extremely anxious. After trying many counsellors previously I was really looking for someone I felt comfortable with - to get to the bottom of some previous trauma and unresolved issues. Christine offered this and more. I felt comfortable and supported the minute I had my consultation and embarked on four months of counselling and hypnotherapy. Within that time I not only started to understand and accept my emotions and experiences I also made some big life changes in work, my personal life and with my family. I even looked forward to therapy as it was a true safe space where I could talk about anything and feel supported. One of my biggest achievements is being able to write a poem to my Grandad which I had been struggling to do for 10 years due to my grief.
I couldn't recommend Christine highly enough and no words can express how thankful and appreciative I am!

How fabulous................Copied from a post by George Murray:
This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had. I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders. I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.

They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.

I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.

Things like su***de, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled😁) and on and on.

The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.

This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.

I am honored to be their teacher.
