Counselling with Jo

02/11/2025

Hey new followers, a warm welcome to my page.

My mission is to help people understand that counselling, therapy and coaching isn’t for special groups of people - its for everyone.

Whatever your particular situation is when you work with me you wont be judged or told what to do.

I'm here to accept you as you are, provide you space to speak about anything that you need to and to work together with you to help you create more peace, understand yourself more and carve your path forwards.

If you're in pain you dont need to hide this or go through it alone.

Today, give yourself permission to pause.

A moment to breathe doesn’t mean you’re behind; it means you’re human.

If you're managing it all this October half term take a look.

Are you a woman carrying it all, dreading the upcoming October half term? If so, you won't be the only one feeling stretched this time of the year. So, how d...

When you’ve been carrying it all for too long

Sometimes you reach a point where “just keeping going” doesn’t work anymore.

You’re tired of feeling strong all the time. Maybe you’ve lost sight of what you need.

If that’s where you find yourself, it might be time to talk to someone — not because you’re broken or failing, but because you deserve support too.

In counselling, we slow down the noise. We make space for you to breathe again, to hear your own voice, and to start finding a steadier way forward.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, I currently have a small number of counselling spaces available for autumn.

You can message me here or visit https://joannesimswellbeing.com/ to arrange an initial session.

💫 Partnering with UKIST💫

I am very proud to announce that today marks the start of my partnership with UKIST.

The UK Infantile Spasms Trust (UKIST) provides a network of support to families with children affected by the rare seizure disorder infantile spasms, also known as West syndrome.

The charity offers a lifeline to anxious parents via its online community, and works alongside medical professionals to raise awareness of this little known condition, which can be very difficult to recognise – but potentially very damaging if left untreated.

Please do go and Check out their amazing website and youtube Channel where you can also find videos from me which will be release twice a month to help parents with their emotional Wellbeing.

Compassion is vital.

If you're carrying it all, no matter how amazing you are and how many to do lists you create...

There will be times when you cant do it all.

When you drop a few balls, miss appointments or make mistakes.

Double booked yourself again?
Burnt dinner?

Thats not you failing, thats a sign that you're overstretched and need to take your foot off the gas a tad.

Learning to give yourself compassion is vital, especially when times are tough.

Therapy can help you.

Reach out.

Just because something can't be seen doesn't mean it can't be felt.
