It’s back 💫 Time To Talk 💫

For those of you who have followed my counselling journey may have followed my The Essex Counsellor page and you may have watched my time to talk series. 🌟

If not you’re in for a real treat.

These series were a huge success and support for many - I received lots of positive feedback for bringing some hard topics to the forefront - but life got in the way and building my counselling agency at The Essex Therapy Hub took over………..until now!!

Myself and some of my team will be re introducing our Time To Talk series.

So to get you all ready for our relaunch I’m going to be resharing the some of my favourite highlights ✨

Starting with Georgia sharing her story around self harm 🌱

If there’s a particular topic you’d like us to consider please drop us a message below 👇🏻

Thanks for your continued support and here’s to our re launch of Time To Talk 🫶🏻 coming in January 2026

AI V’s Humans in therapy?

We are slowly (or should I say rapidly) moving into a world of AI and I for one am all for it. AI most definitely has its place.

But where do we stand when it comes to counselling or therapy?

At The Essex Therapy Hub we want to share our thoughts on why we believe in person therapy with a qualified therapist is the better choice - but what do you guys think?? 💬

✅1. Human Connection: In-person therapy fosters a personal connection, allowing clients to feel understood and valued, which can be vital for emotional healing.

✅2. Non-Verbal Cues: Therapists can read non-verbal signals such as body language and facial expressions, providing deeper insights that AI may miss.

✅3. Tailored Interventions: Human therapists can customise their approaches based on a client's unique experiences and needs, adapting in real-time to emotional responses.

✅4. Empathy and Compassion: A qualified therapist offers real empathy and compassion, helping clients feel safe and supported in sharing their struggles.

✅5. Complex Issues Handling: Therapists are trained to navigate complex psychological issues, crises, and trauma that may require nuanced understanding and strategies.

✅6. Building Trust: Face-to-face interactions allow for the building of trust and rapport, which are crucial for effective therapy and long-term relationships.

✅7. Accountability: In-person sessions can provide a stronger sense of accountability, encouraging clients to stay committed to their therapeutic journey.

✅8. Crisis Management: Human therapists can respond appropriately to crises, including assessing risk and ensuring client safety, which can be challenging for AI.

✅9. Holistic Understanding: Therapists can consider a client’s holistic context, including social, cultural, and environmental factors, which AI may not be programmed to understand fully.

✅10. Ethical Considerations: Human therapists adhere to ethical guidelines and standards of practice, ensuring client confidentiality and professional responsibility in ways that AI may not.

Choosing face-to-face therapy can offer a depth of understanding and support that enhances the therapeutic process, particularly in managing mental health challenges effectively.

Tell us how are you using AI and are you replacing human connection with an online robot?

I just wanted to take a moment to reach out, especially to anyone who might be feeling overwhelmed or struggling with their mental health right now. 💭

It’s completely okay to feel this way, and it’s important to know that you’re not alone.

If you feel like you need someone to talk to, I’m wanted to share that we’re offering online counselling sessions with our student counsellor who is currently on placement with us here at The Essex Therapy Hub.

They need to complete 100 hours to qualify, and you can benefit from these sessions for just £15 each.

Sometimes, just talking about what you’re going through can bring a sense of relief and clarity.

Remember, reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're interested or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. 💙

Let's take this journey together towards healing and understanding.

Take care of yourselves! 🌈✨

Managing Anxiety in Everyday Life

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but small, consistent steps can make a big difference.

Try these strategies to manage anxious thoughts and feelings:

🍁Ground in the Present: Focus on what can be seen, heard, or touched right now.
This helps shift attention away from racing thoughts.

🍁Challenge Negative Thoughts: Ask whether anxious thoughts are facts or fears. Reframing them can reduce their power.

🍁Create a Routine: Consistent sleep, meals, and movement help the body feel safe and stable.

🍁Limit Overstimulation: Reduce caffeine, screen time, and news intake when feeling tense.

🍁Reach Out: Talking with a trusted friend or counsellor can provide perspective and support.

Small changes practiced regularly can help build resilience and calm over time.

If you or someone you know is struggling to overcome anxiety get in touch today. Our counsellors are here to help.

DM us today or complete our referral form below
