As the year draws to a close, many of us feel a mix of emotions, whether that’s gratitude, nostalgia, pride, sadness, even exhaustion.

The end of the year can bring a natural pause, inviting us to reflect on what we’ve experienced, lost, learned, and become over the past 12 months…

💚 It’s okay if your feelings are complex.

Maybe this year hasn’t looked the way you hoped it would. Maybe you’ve faced unexpected challenges, or found strength you didn’t know you had. Whatever your journey, every emotion that surfaces now deserves to be acknowledged with kindness.

Over the coming final days of 2025, allow yourself a moment to breathe, to honour everything you have come through. Let go of anything you wish to leave in 2025 and step into the new year with compassion for yourself.

If this time of year feels heavy or uncertain, you don’t have to carry it alone. Counselling offers a safe space to explore your emotions, reflect, and find peace…piece by peace. 💙

This time of year, isn't always the joyous, happy occasion that we see in the media. 🎄

There are lots of reasons why people can struggle over the festive period, and with each year it seems there are more and more social pressures to have an insta-worthy time, with matching PJs, elaborate visits to Santa, pictures of hundreds of presents under the tree... and the reality is that some people will be struggling to heat their homes, feed their families, will be missing a loved one or simply just find it tough to get through this heightened period of time. 💙

I'm here to tell you... to celebrate in whatever way you need or want to. Do it your way... with whatever you need to make this time of year as bearable or enjoyable as you can.💚

Today is both National Look on the Bright Side Day and the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year.

From today onwards, the light begins to slowly return, reminding us that even in our darkest seasons, light always finds its way back. 🌤️

Just as the Earth tilts towards the sun, we too can lean towards hope, even if it’s only a flicker for now.

💙 Looking on the bright side doesn’t mean ignoring what’s difficult. It means allowing ourselves to notice the small moments of comfort, warmth, and connection that still exist alongside the challenges. Whether it’s a kind word, a deep breath or the sunrise that comes a little earlier each day.

As we move through the winter months, be gentle with yourself. Just like the return of light, healing happens gradually, one small step, one new dawn at a time.💚

If you're struggling with your mental health over the festive period, please reach out. 💙

There are a number of charities who are here to support you. They are confidential and 100% non judgemental, they offer an ear to listen and practical advice to help improve your situation. No problem is too big or too small... remember, you are important. 💚

Writing a letter to yourself can be a great tool for reflection, clarity, and self-compassion. ✍️

It can boost self-awareness, promote emotional release, strengthen resilience and deepen connection with your inner self. 🥰

Some good examples of how to write a letter could be:

💙 Look at where you are in your life now and write a letter to your younger self, what would you tell yourself back then?
💚 Imagine you have lived to the age of 95, write a letter to yourself reflecting back on your whole life
💙 Write a letter to your future self, what do you want to remember from your life right now?

Remember you cant write a wrong thing, whatever your write will be right for you!

Communication with children isn’t just about talking, it’s about connecting on their level. 💚

Small, thoughtful ways of interacting can make a big difference in building trust, understanding, and emotional wellbeing for our children.

Some gentle ways to communicate with children include:

👂 Listening fully - give them your attention, without interrupting.
👀 Observing feelings - notice emotions through words, actions, or drawings.
💞 Sharing your own feelings - model openness in a simple, age-appropriate way.
🙏🏼 Asking, not directing - invite them to share thoughts rather than telling them what to do.
🤗 Spending time together - sometimes connection speaks louder than words.

Healthy communication creates a safe space for children to express themselves and feel heard, laying the foundation for emotional resilience that lasts a lifetime. 💙

There is no escaping that the festive season is coming. Adverts, television programmes, Christmas songs on the radio and decorations everywhere we look. Talking about grief at any time is difficult but it can seem all the worse in the run up to Christmas.

This week is National Grief Awareness Week, and while December is meant to be the season to be jolly, the festive season often reminds us of the people who are no longer with us, which makes grieving at Christmas so hard.

Christmas can be an incredibly difficult period for those who have been bereaved. This time of year can bring up so many different emotions, we can feel hugely heightened.

The way people treat Christmas following a bereavement can differ a lot. For some, there may be a worry that it is disrespectful to celebrate Christmas when mourning, while others can think that following the traditions in which the deceased once participated in, is a good way to honour their memory.

There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to celebrate Christmas (or not!) after a bereavement. You must do what feels right for yourself and your family. If you’re worried that you’re going to be struggling with grief this Christmas – no matter how long ago your bereavement was – here is some advice on coping with bereavement at Christmas.

💙 Remember, it’s important to do what feels right for you. 💚

Listening is more than hearing words. It’s noticing emotion, free from judgment, and allowing someone to feel seen and valued. It can be a lifeline for someone struggling, a quiet act of kindness that makes a real difference. 👂💚

On this National Day of Listening, consider who might need your full attention today. Put your devices aside, take a deep breath, and give someone the gift of your presence. This includes yourself, tuning in to your own feelings, needs, and boundaries matters just as much.

Therapy can extend this gift of listening even further. In counselling, you are truly heard without judgment. It provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. It’s a place to be supported, understood, and guided towards greater emotional wellbeing.

💙 Sometimes, the greatest support we can offer, to others or ourselves, is simply being present, fully and openly.

Today, we are thinking of all those who have lost someone to su***de, for the hearts that carry love, grief, and unanswered questions all at once.

💚International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day is a gentle reminder that you are not alone in your loss. The journey through grief can be complex and painful, filled with waves of emotion that come and go without warning. There is no right way to grieve and no timeline for healing.

Losing someone to su***de can bring up feelings of guilt, anger, confusion, and deep sadness. These emotions are natural responses to something incredibly hard to understand. It’s okay to talk about them, and it’s okay to ask for support.

If today feels heavy, take things slowly. Light a candle, share a memory, or simply sit in quiet reflection. Sometimes, just being present with your feelings is an act of courage.

💙 If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. Support is available, and you never have to face this alone.

Social media can be a wonderful space for connection, inspiration, and learning, but it can also become overwhelming when we’re surrounded by negativity, comparison, or energy that doesn’t align with where we are now. 📱

💙 National Unfriend Day invites us to take a mindful look at our online spaces, not from a place of judgment, but from self-care. Notice how you feel after scrolling.

Do the people you follow uplift, inspire, and support you? Or do they leave you feeling drained or not enough?

It’s also worth reflecting on who has access to you, your posts, your energy, your time. You have every right to set boundaries, mute, unfollow, or unfriend without guilt. Protecting your mental and emotional space is not unkind, it’s an act of self-respect.

💚📱Your social media should feel like a reflection of who you are becoming, not a reminder of what weighs you down.
