Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent — traditionally a Christian season of reflection and renewal.

But even beyond faith, its themes feel universal.

The ashes placed on the forehead symbolise something simple and human: we are vulnerable, imperfect, and our time is finite. Rather than being bleak, this can be clarifying. When we remember that life is limited, we often begin to ask deeper questions about how we are living it.

In a world that rewards busyness and distraction, this season offers a pause.

A moment to ask:
• What patterns keep repeating in my life?
• Where do I react instead of respond?
• What am I carrying that needs attention?

In psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy, we explore these very questions. Much of our behaviour is shaped by unconscious patterns — early experiences, attachment histories, internalised beliefs about who we are and what we deserve.

My therapeutic approach offers a reflective space to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgement.

The original meaning of “repent” simply means “to turn” — to change direction. In psychological terms, insight gives us choice. When we understand why we respond the way we do, we gain the freedom to respond differently.

Growth doesn’t come from harsh self-criticism.
It comes from awareness, compassion, and courage.

Whether you observe Lent religiously or not, this time of year can be a gentle invitation:
✨ To slow down.
✨ To reflect.
✨ To let go of patterns that no longer serve you.
✨ To move toward who you want to become.

Self-reflection is not indulgent — it is transformative.

Valentine’s Day can bring love and connection into the spotlight—but it can also stir feelings of loneliness, pressure, or self-doubt. For many people, this day acts as an emotional mirror, reflecting not just our current relationships but the deeper patterns that shape how we love and relate to others.

As a psychodynamic counsellor, I often see how experiences from our past quietly influence our present relationships. Expectations around intimacy, fear of rejection, difficulty trusting, or feeling “not enough” rarely come from nowhere. Days like Valentine’s Day can gently (or not so gently) bring these underlying feelings to the surface.

In therapy, I offer a safe, reflective space to explore what sits beneath relationship challenges. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, psychodynamic counselling helps uncover recurring patterns, emotional defences, and unconscious beliefs that can keep us stuck in the same cycles. When we begin to understand why we react as we do, new choices become possible.

Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or navigating a breakup, therapy can help you make sense of complex emotions around love—and strengthen the relationship you have with yourself. Love isn’t defined by one day on the calendar. It’s an evolving experience that deserves curiosity, compassion, and care. 💛

Teaching in Scotland is emotionally demanding.
And for many teachers, the pressure has never been greater.

Workload, staffing shortages, accountability, and the emotional labour of supporting young people can leave teachers feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning themselves — even when they are deeply committed and capable.

Psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy offer a different kind of support.

Rather than focusing only on “coping strategies”, psychodynamic therapy creates a confidential, reflective space to explore the emotional impact of teaching. This can include feelings of guilt about not doing enough, anger that feels hard to express, or a loss of confidence and professional identity.

In-person therapy can be particularly powerful.
Being in the same room allows for depth, emotional attunement, and a sense of being fully seen and held in mind — something many teachers rarely experience while caring for others every day.

With over 20 years’ experience in Scottish secondary education, I bring a lived understanding of the realities teachers face: the classroom, the staffroom, inspections, and the emotional weight of the role. This insight allows me to meet teachers with empathy, clarity, and respect for the complexity of their work.

Supporting the mental health of teachers is not a luxury.
It is essential — for teachers themselves and for the future of Scottish education.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

✨ Back to the grind — but with support that actually matters ✨

New Year, fresh goals — but let’s be honest: January can be tough. The return to work brings motivation and pressure — especially for small teams hustling across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

That’s why investing in your people with an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) isn’t just nice — it’s smart business. 💼💙 EAPs give your team confidential, professional support for stress, wellbeing challenges, financial or personal issues, and more — before those challenges start impacting performance and morale. 

👉 That’s exactly what we offer at Rosny House with our tailored Employee Assistance Packages — affordable wellbeing solutions designed for small businesses. From year-round counselling sessions to wellbeing workshops, manager support, and usage insights, our packages help you:

✅ Reduce staff absence
✅ Boost retention & performance

Let’s build stronger, healthier teams — because people power your success. 💪

✨ A New Year, An Open Door ✨

The new year invites reflection — not just on what we want to change, but on what we carry with us. Our patterns, relationships, and inner narratives don’t reset with the calendar, yet they shape how we live and relate every day.

Psychodynamic counselling doesn’t have to begin in crisis. It can be a proactive choice — a space to explore meaning, understand recurring patterns, and reflect on how past experiences continue to influence the present.

You don’t need to be “unwell” to benefit from therapy. Quiet dissatisfaction, self-criticism, or emotional distance matter too. Choosing counselling can be an act of self-respect: taking your inner world seriously before things reach breaking point.

As this year begins, the question may not be “Who should I be?” but “Who am I, beneath all the striving?”
Opening the door to therapy can be a powerful way to start the year — with curiosity, compassion, and care.

✨ Generosity & Mental Health ✨

When we talk about mental health, we often focus on rest, boundaries, and support — all of which matter deeply. But there’s another quiet practice that can support our wellbeing: generosity.

Generosity isn’t just about money. It’s time, attention, patience, and kindness. When our mental health is struggling, our thoughts can turn inward. Small acts of generosity gently shift our focus outward, reminding us that we are still connected and still have something meaningful to offer.

Giving can boost mood, strengthen relationships, and ease loneliness — even in simple ways like listening, checking in, or showing compassion.

But generosity should never come at the cost of your own wellbeing. Healthy generosity includes boundaries. And allowing others to care for you is just as important.

Sometimes, in giving, we find healing too 🤍 Find out more at www.rosnyhouse.com/latest-news

Waiting Well ✨

In a world of instant downloads, next-day delivery, and constant notifications, waiting can feel like a problem to solve rather than a skill to learn. Yet Advent invites us to do something quietly radical: to wait on purpose.

Advent isn’t just a countdown to Christmas. It’s a season of preparation, restraint, and hope. Psychologically, this matters more than we might realise. Research into delayed gratification shows that learning to wait strengthens emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. When we choose not to have everything immediately, we actually deepen our capacity for joy.

That’s what makes Christmas meaningful. Celebration is richer when it follows anticipation. Joy lands more deeply when it has been awaited. Without Advent, Christmas risks becoming just another burst of consumption. With Advent, it becomes fulfilment.

Lighting candles slowly, opening one door at a time, holding back the full celebration—these practices teach us (and our children) that desire doesn’t need to be rushed. Waiting isn’t empty time; it’s formative time. It shapes patience, self-control, and trust that something good is still coming.

Advent reminds us that limits can be life-giving, and that the deepest joy often arrives not instantly, but on time.

Some things are worth waiting for. 🎄🕯️

Christmas & Mental Health: Why This Season Can Feel Heavy — and How Psychodynamic Counselling Helps

Christmas looks magical on the surface — lights, family, celebration.
But for many people, this time of year brings stress, loneliness, grief, old family dynamics, pressure to be happy, and financial strain.

If you struggle at Christmas, you’re not alone. And there’s nothing “wrong” with you. This season often activates deeper emotional layers rooted in childhood memories, past relationships, and unconscious expectations.

Why Christmas Feels So Intense

✨ High expectations
✨ Family tensions or old patterns resurfacing
✨ Loneliness or social comparison
✨ Financial pressure
✨ Grief and reminders of loss
✨ End-of-year reflection

These emotions aren’t just about the present moment — they’re often connected to the past.



How Psychodynamic Counselling Can Help

Psychodynamic therapy explores your unconscious patterns, early experiences, and emotional triggers so you can understand why Christmas feels the way it does — and move through it with more clarity and compassion.

It can help you:

🧠 Understand emotional triggers activated during the holidays
🧠 Explore childhood memories and family roles
🧠 Make sense of loneliness and relationship patterns
🧠 Process grief that resurfaces at Christmas
🧠 Reduce unconscious guilt and pressure to “perform” or “please”
🧠 Develop deeper self-understanding and emotional freedom

When you understand what’s beneath your reactions, you can make more conscious, empowered choices — about family, boundaries, traditions, and self-care.



You deserve compassion this Christmas.

Not perfection. Not forced happiness.
Just space to feel what you feel — and support if you need it. Find out more at www.rosnyhouse.com/latest-news.

Men’s Mental Health Month 🧠💙

Men are struggling with their mental health—often in silence.
Many are raised to “stay strong,” “man up,” or hide how they really feel.
But ignoring emotions doesn’t make them disappear.
It just pushes the pain deeper.

This month, we shine a light on men’s wellbeing and the support that can truly help: psychodynamic counselling.



Why Men’s Mental Health Needs Attention

Men often face:
• Pressure to perform
• Fear of vulnerability
• Emotional isolation
• Anger or withdrawal hiding deeper distress
• The belief that asking for help = weakness

But none of this is weakness.
It’s conditioning.



What Psychodynamic Counselling Offers

Psychodynamic therapy goes beneath the surface.
It explores:
• Unconscious patterns
• Childhood experiences
• Emotional defences
• Relationship difficulties
• Buried feelings like guilt, grief, anger & shame

It’s not about forcing vulnerability.
It’s about understanding yourself—gently, at your own pace.



Why It Resonates with Men

✔ Validates the conflict between emotion and “masculine” expectations
✔ Works with defences instead of judging them
✔ Helps men understand the origins of their beliefs
✔ Provides a rare space for emotional honesty
✔ Supports long-term, meaningful change



Common Reasons Men Seek Therapy

• Depression that looks like irritability
• Anxiety disguised as overworking
• Relationship struggles
• Anger that feels out of control
• Low self-esteem beneath competence
• Emotional numbness
• Grief or past trauma



Redefining Strength

Therapy helps men rewrite outdated ideas of masculinity.
Strength and vulnerability aren’t opposites.
Real courage is being willing to look inward.



A Reminder for This Month

Asking for help isn’t weakness.
It’s growth.
It’s healing.
It’s strength.

If you’re struggling, or if someone you love is, support is available.
Psychodynamic counselling can be a powerful place to start.

💙 You deserve to feel whole. You deserve support.

🌿 Phobias, Mental Health & Psychodynamic Counselling 🌿

Phobias are more than “just fears.” They’re deep emotional responses that can shape how we live and relate to the world.

A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of something that poses little real danger — yet it can feel overwhelming and even life-limiting.



💭 More Than Anxiety

Phobias often come with shame, anxiety, or low self-esteem.
But they’re not signs of weakness — they’re the mind’s way of protecting us from deeper, often unconscious pain.



🔍 The Psychodynamic View

Psychodynamic counselling looks beneath the fear to explore why it exists.

A fear of flying might reflect a loss of control.
Claustrophobia could relate to feeling trapped.
A fear of animals might symbolise early experiences of threat.

It’s not about the object — it’s about what it represents.



🪞 Healing Through Understanding

In therapy, you can explore the roots of your fear and uncover hidden emotions or memories.
As awareness grows, fear often loses its hold.

CBT can change thoughts and behaviours —
but psychodynamic counselling helps you understand the meaning behind your fear.



🌱 Beyond Fear

A phobia isn’t a flaw.
It’s a message from your mind asking to be understood.

When we listen to fear, healing begins. 💫

✨ The Importance of Mental Health in the Workplace ✨

Mental health isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a workplace one. 💬
When employees feel supported, they’re more creative, resilient, and productive. But when stress, burnout, or conflict go unaddressed, everyone feels the impact.

So how can we go deeper than surface-level wellbeing initiatives?
👉 Enter psychodynamic counselling.

This approach helps us understand the why behind our emotions and behaviours. It explores how our past experiences — especially early relationships — shape how we respond to challenges, authority, and feedback today.

Instead of simply managing symptoms, psychodynamic counselling gets to the root cause of stress and emotional difficulty. By bringing unconscious patterns into awareness, people gain greater self-understanding and freedom to change. 🌱

💭 Example:
Someone who often clashes with managers may discover that these reactions are linked to earlier experiences with authority. Once they see that connection, they can respond differently — more calmly and constructively.

The result?
🧠 More emotional awareness
💬 Healthier communication
💪 Greater resilience
🤝 Stronger, more empathetic teams

When workplaces invest in mental health and offer access to counselling, they’re not just ticking a box — they’re building cultures of trust, reflection, and genuine care. ❤️

Ultimately, supporting mental health at work isn’t only about reducing stress.
It’s about helping people understand themselves and others more deeply — creating workplaces that are compassionate, connected, and truly sustainable. 🌍
