💭💚 It’s Stress Awareness Day 💚💭

We all experience stress — it’s part of being human.
But when stress becomes constant or overwhelming, it can take a toll on both our mental and physical health.

Today is a reminder to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. 🌿

Here are a few gentle ways to manage stress:
✨ Take slow, deep breaths — give your body a moment to reset.
✨ Go for a short walk or stretch — movement releases tension.
✨ Talk about how you feel — sharing helps lighten the load.
✨ Be kind to yourself — you’re doing the best you can.

💬 Remember: Stress is a response, not a weakness. And you don’t have to manage it alone.
If you’re finding it hard to cope, reaching out for support — from a friend, counsellor, or helpline — can make a real difference. 💛

Let’s make space today for calm, care, and connection.
You deserve it. 🌱

🕯️ Baby Loss Awareness Week 🕯️
9th–15th October

This week, we come together to remember the babies who are no longer with us and to stand beside every parent and family who has experienced the unimaginable heartbreak of baby loss. 💗💙

Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, your grief is valid. Your baby is remembered. You are not alone.

💬 Baby loss affects thousands of families every year — yet it is often met with silence.
By talking about it, we honour every little life and help break the stigma that keeps so many people suffering in silence.

Throughout this week, we light candles, share stories, and offer support to anyone affected.
Together, we remember. Together, we heal. 🌸

🧠 Mental Health Affects Us All.

Mental health doesn’t discriminate.
It touches everyone — regardless of age, background, or status.

Some struggles are visible. Others are hidden behind smiles.
But everyone has a mental health story, and every story matters.

Let’s stop pretending it’s “someone else’s problem.”
Let’s talk about it. Normalise it. Support one another through it.

Because mental health isn’t them — it’s us. 💚

We love how Lisa Guilfoyle Counselling has worded this. Be kind to yourself today 🌻

Mothers day can be very difficult for lots of people. Some get to spend time with their mum, some wish they could spend time with her, some long to feel what it's like to be a mum, and some have never known their mum.
Everyone will experience mothers day differently. If all you can do is wait for the day to be over, be gentle, be kind to yourself, and I hope tomorrow is easier than today.

Just remember to always look after yourself.

If you or someone you know needs support please do reach out.

As Mother's Day looms grief and loss can become something we think of a lot. Whether that be your own mother, your children, or what could have been remember feeling your feelings is valid.

Loran has just read a great book. As many of you know she likes to recommend chapters of books. But here's one page that may help you if you're experiencing loss.

Acknowledgement of your feelings is everything.

Sometimes with grief it's about learning to live a new life embracing it and not trying to forget.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go"

Counselling can help you think of your missed person in order to process their death and where your feelings are then at.

Does this help you....? Putting words to feelings is helpful.

We use creative ways to explain grief to our clients. Drawing out your river of life may be helpful and something that can be done collaboratively in therapy.
