During Stress Awareness month, it's worth taking a moment to check in with yourself......

Are you relaxed and at ease, or are you struggling with tense muscles, sleepless nights, a racing heart, or digestive issues? Stress affects everyone differently through automatic changes in our thoughts, feelings, behaviour, and body. The good news is that we can counteract these symptoms with exercise, relaxation, good nutrition, socialising, counselling, or setting aside time for something you enjoy.

The Rowan Consultancy website has a Self Help section, or you can request counselling through the links on our Home page.

Help is at hand.

We've delivered a schools counselling service in Inverness for over six years, to pupils aged 10-18.

Today, Rachel and Ashleigh met our wonderful school counsellors, Danielle and Maddie, for a celebratory lunch. They shared some touching feedback from young people saying how counselling restored their confidence, lifted their troubles and enabled them to achieve their academic, social and wellbeing goals.

Danielle also works in private practice at Verdant Life - Nature and Therapy Moray offering trauma-informed counselling and psychotherapy indoors and outdoors and online, and is a forest therapy and natural mindfulness guide.

What a joyful, celebratory day, in sunshine, blue skies with a cutting wind, which later turned to snow!

March 13 2026 is the 30th anniversary of the Dunblane tragedy and people in our community will mark this in their own way.

For many in our community a simple gesture such as placing a candle in the window can be a quiet way to remember and pay respects.

For anyone who would like a place for quiet reflection on Friday, the following local churches will be open:

• Dunblane Cathedral – 10am – 8pm
• St Blane’s Church – 10am – 4pm
• Lecropt Kirk – 10am – 4pm

In addition, the Church of the Holy Family will hold a 'Dunblane Primary School 30th Year Anniversary Remembrance Mass' at 6pm.

'Give To Gain', the International Women's Day theme, aligns beautifully with our Rowan values. Day to day, our services focus on giving, supporting, questioning, and challenging our clients towards living better. And at the end of counselling, coaching, mediation, or training, we enjoy nothing more than receiving feedback on the benefits gained.

We feel the ripple effect of giving to enable others to gain is worthy of promotion. Well done .

Showing your gratitude can be as simple as saying 'Thank You'.
