What are 3 things that I can celebrate about myself? 💛

Take a moment this Sunday to pause, reflect, and honour the things you're proud of. Self-celebration isn't selfish—it's an essential part of your healing journey and building self-worth.

Whether it's big achievements or small daily wins, every celebration counts. You deserve to acknowledge your progress, your strength, and your resilience.

What would you celebrate about yourself today? 🌿✨

Meet Cherry 💚

We're so incredibly proud of Cherry and everything she brings to The Counselling Space. Her warmth, wisdom, and genuine commitment to her clients shine through in every session.

Cherry specialises in grief and loss, trauma, EMDR, chronic illness, low self-esteem, IFS therapy, and cultural identity. But what makes her truly special is her lived experience and the compassion that flows from it.

In her own words:

"My path into this work began with my own therapy in my twenties to process grief and trauma. That experience was a turning point: I realised I wanted to offer the same kind of space to others. My interest was rooted in grief and loss, inspired by my lived experience and my time volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Care.

At college I was told 'your specialism will choose you'. When I first qualified, I found myself working with a lot of people who had experienced trauma and loss. Over time I've found I often work with the 'strong ones' in families, people who've coped alone for a long time and are ready to heal rather than just hold it all together.

I've also spent 4 years working with kidney patients and their families in short-term counselling, where the work was about facing the reality of a scary diagnosis, finding the courage to face one's mortality, and discovering what makes life meaningful."

This is what we love about Cherry, she doesn't just understand her clients' journeys, she walks alongside them with authenticity and real human connection.

If you're looking for someone who truly gets it, who can hold space for your grief, your trauma, your pain, and help you find meaning again, Cherry is here for you.

You belong here. 💚

Simba had her therapy session… and honestly? She was so proud of herself she insisted on a photoshoot outside 🥹

Because doing the hard stuff, showing up, opening up, facing things you’d rather avoid, deserves to be seen and celebrated.

If Simba can do it, so can you. 💛

Meet Andy!! The Counselling Space's only male counsellor, and honestly, he's incredible.

Andy works with neurodivergence, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. But what really drives him is his passion for men's mental health. And that matters.

We asked Andy how he developed such a deep interest in these areas, and his answer tells you everything about why he's so good at what he does:

"Experience within my family was a big driver, particularly with neurodivergence and addiction, as well as personal experience of anxiety and depression. In addition to personal experience and seeing the challenges faced by some family members, I think these areas also chose me. I have attracted a lot of clients, particularly males, who suffer with addiction and the challenges often experienced by being neurodivergent."

That's not just expertise. That's lived understanding. That's someone who gets it because he's been there.

If you're a man struggling with addiction, navigating neurodivergence, wrestling with anxiety or depression, or carrying trauma – Andy's here. No judgment. No pretence. Just real support from someone who understands the weight you're carrying.

Reach out for a chat with Andy whenever you're ready.

You belong here. 💚

We're so proud to share Rebekah's latest blog post exploring a really important question: Are people with dementia being overlooked in counselling spaces?

In this piece, Rebekah dives into how animal-assisted therapy is creating meaningful connections and filling a genuine gap in support for people living with dementia. It's a thoughtful, human-centred exploration of a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention.

If you or someone you care about is navigating dementia, or if you're curious about how different therapeutic approaches can make a real difference, this is worth a read.

Mother’s Day can be beautiful.

But it can also be painful.

For people who have lost their mum, have a complicated relationship with her, are struggling with fertility, or carry wounds from childhood, the day can stir up grief, anger, or loneliness.

In Beccie's latest blog, she talks about the reality that doesn’t often get shared alongside the flowers and brunch photos.

If Mother’s Day is hard for you, this is for you.

Kangli's empathetic, insightful approach is what sets her apart. She doesn't follow a template; she truly listens, understands, and meets each person exactly where they are. That's the difference between good therapy and transformative therapy.
