What do you do for self care?

Getting out for a walk either on your own or with your furbaby if you have one, can do wonders for your mental health. Especially this time of year, the colours of autumn are so lovely and warm, even on a chilly day.

Little tip to help with anxiety.

When your walking really listen to the sounds around you, life is so busy and hectic, we don't give our senses time to absorb the sounds of nature, which can be grounding and help ease symptoms of stress and anxiety.

It's amazing how changing the words we use, can change our perspective on how we see something.

We may tell ourselves we can't do things, that it's too hard, that we're no good at it, or that we made a mistake and then tell ourselves we should give up. This type of thinking can lead us to negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves.

If we are able to change the words we use, we can change our mindset on how we perceive a situation and ultimately how we see ourselves.
Instead of saying
I can't - try I'm still learning, which enables us to keep trying.
This is too hard - try with more practice it will get easier.
I'm not good at this - try This may take some time and effort.
I made a mistake - try mistakes help me learn.
I give up - try I can try a different strategy.

Sometimes its how we talk to ourselves that can be the difference between a negative and positive mindset. The trick is when you catch yourself having negative thoughts, ask yourself would I talk to a family member, friend or colleague in this way? if not, how would you talk to them and offer yourself the same compassion you would to other people, you deserve to be kind to yourself too, but as human beings we can be our own worst critics.

Self Care

What do you do to practice self care?

Life can get so hectic, it's easy to get caught up in the rat race and lose ourselves, busy parenting, busy keeping house, busy working, busy being everything to everyone else, the list goes on. But when do you have time for you, to look after you and do things that recharge your batteries and bring joy into your life?

There's a reason we get told to put our own oxygen masks on in the safety advice on a plane, because in order to be able to look after others, we have to look after ourselves 1st. A lot of people consider self care as selfish or indulgent, but it's vital for our mental wellbeing, you can't pour from an empty cup as the saying goes, you have to learn to fill yours 1st in order to fill into other peoples.

Just getting out for a walk in nature can help you feel better, taking in the sounds, sights and smells of nature, can help to ground you, and give you that space to reflect on your life.

Bereavement Counselling

Death is an inevitable part of life, we will all experience the loss of loved one at some point in our lives. Some losses can be hard to navigate on our own, because of the complexities of the grief, bereavement counselling can help us to process our grief in healthier ways, if we have been struggling to cope with the weight of carrying it.

Grief is very different for each and every one of us, it is also different for each loved one who dies, depending on the relationship we have with them. Some times grief can be complicated because of the complexities of the relationships we may have had with the person who has died, or because of how they died, talking to a counsellor can offer us a safe space to explore the relationship and help us to find ways of being able to move through the grief.

We have got better at acknowledging we are struggling with our mental and asking for support, but some people still struggle to accept they need help and ask for help when they need it. If we had the flu we would take paracetamol and cold/flu remedies, if we broke a bone we could take pain relief and wear a plaster cast, so why do we still struggle to admit we are struggling with our mental health and ask for help.

You don't have to suffer in silence, the bravest step you can take, is the 1st step in admitting you need help and reaching out for support. At Trust in Counselling, we have a team of counsellors who aim to offer all our clients, a safe therapeutic space to explore the difficulties they are facing and help them navigate how to manage them effectively.

October is ADHD awareness month.

Have you or your child been diagnosed or waiting an assessment for ADHD?

Being diagnosed with ADHD can be liberating for some people, it enable them to understand themselves and how they see the world better. For others they can struggle to accept and feeling different from others can be a challenge for them.

At Trust in Counselling we have several counsellors who specialise in working with clients who have been or are waiting a diagnosis of ADHD. They have a deeper understanding of ADHD and the challenge's people may face, when undiagnosed, waiting assessment or diagnosed. They offer a non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings around ADHD and how it impacts you and your life.

10th October 2025

World Mental Health Day

If we break a leg we would think nothing of having a plaster cast on it to help it heal, if we have toothache or headache we would take pain relief to ease the pain. Yet, people struggle to ask for help with their mental health.

Clients often say, I should just be able to get on and manage! We are getting better at getting support, but for some people there is still some stigma and shame in asking for support for mental health difficulties.

Counselling offers a safe non-judgemental space to explore the difficulties you are facing, talking about your problems, helps to make sense of them and find healthier ways of managing them and moving forward in the direction you want to go on your unique journey.

Wednesday Insight into Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy Is a form of psychotherapy that aids couples /partners to communicate more effectively, in order to resolve conflicts and difficulties that arise in everyday life, but that can drive a wedge and lead to the breakdown in the relationship if not worked on effectively.

Some of the common themes explored in sessions are communication issues, emotional dysregulation and infidelity. Couples Therapy provides a safe space to reconnect and find healthier ways of communicating, helping to build and strengthen the relationship.
