S Rae Counselling

S Rae Counselling I have been working and supporting others in a variety of roles, for over 20 years, to address their concerns, issues and fears.

My Practice is grounded in Person Centred Therapy with you the client at the centre of every session.

You do not need to wait for things to fall apart

Persistent fear is reason enough to talk.

You do not need the right words.
You do not need proof that your fears are “bad enough.”
You do not need a diagnosis.

If your mind keeps pulling you into worst-case futures,
that alone is reason enough to pause and talk.

You are not the only one thinking this way

Many people live in constant worst-case scenarios.

Most people do not come to counselling because of one big crisis.

They come because their thoughts keep escalating.

They say things like:
• “I know it is unlikely, but I cannot stop thinking about it.”
• “My head jumps ten steps ahead.”
• “I am exhausted by my own thoughts.”

This is more common than people realise.
And it is something you do not have to manage alone.

Catastrophizing is not overreacting

It is a learned survival response.

Always expecting the worst does not mean you are negative.
It often means you have been disappointed before,
and your mind is trying to protect you from feeling that again.

It is not drama,it is protection.

Your mind goes straight to the worst.
Every time.

A small issue turns into a disaster in seconds.
A delayed reply becomes rejection.
A mistake becomes the end of everything.

If this feels familiar, you are not dramatic.
You are not broken.

Your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Each week, I share a short series around one common emotional experience.

Not to label.
Not to diagnose.
Not to tell you what to do.

This week’s focus is CATASTROPHIZING
when your mind jumps to the worst-case scenario, even in small or uncertain moments.

For many people, this is not negativity.
It is protection.

You do not need to read every post.
You do not need to relate to all of it.

If something resonates, you can simply notice it.

Sometimes recognition alone brings relief.

• Reduce pressure where possible
• Ask for support sooner

Stephen Says 💬

“Burnout is a process — not a sudden failure.”

• Allow honesty with yourself

Stephen Says 💬

“You do not have to justify how you feel.”

Feel Low but Cannot Explain Why?

You are not alone

Not every low feeling comes with a clear reason.
That does not make it any less real.

What To Do

• Stop searching for answers
• Sit with the feeling without judgement
• Be kind to yourself in the moment

Stephen Says 💬

“You do not need a reason to deserve support.”

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling helps gently explore what may be beneath the feeling.

Self-Care & A Brighter Future

Understanding yourself is often the first step towards feeling lighter.
