Blue Monday is a myth.

“Blue Monday” is often called the most depressing day of the year, but the truth is, it’s just a myth.
Mental health doesn’t follow a date in the calendar. Difficult days can show up at any time, and they look different for each of us.

While winter and shorter days can affect our mood, your feelings are valid every day of the year. Your wellbeing deserves attention, care, and compassion - not only on one Monday in January.

🗣️ If you’re finding things hard right now, you’re not alone. Reaching out, talking to someone you trust, resting when you need to, and asking for support can make a real difference.

💚 At WCC, we’re here to remind you that your mental health matters — today, tomorrow, and all year round.
You deserve support whenever you need it.

Here’s to a year of growth, kindness, and looking after one another - one step at a time.

🧠 Take 5 minutes today to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself.

Even short moments of mindfulness can help you feel calmer, more grounded, and ready to face the day. 🌿

Removing Barriers to Support 🚌

What does the cost of a bus fare mean to someone seeking help? 💬

At Waterloo Community Counselling, we never want practical obstacles to stand between someone and the support they need.

Last year, we reimbursed 757 travel journeys so clients could attend counselling and social activity groups safely and consistently.
For many people — especially those facing financial hardship or displacement — this small act makes a life-changing difference.

💖 Your support keeps our services accessible.
By donating, you’re not just covering a fare — you’re helping someone show up for healing, stability, and hope.

Its 🌍, and this year’s theme is: ‘My Great Story: Cultures and Development’

Every migrant carries a unique story of courage, resilience, and hope. These stories shape culture and society, spark innovation, and drive development in communities worldwide. 💙

At Waterloo Community Counselling, we honour these stories on , and every day. Through multilingual counselling and social activity groups, we provide a safe space for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to heal, rebuild, and share their journeys. 🌿✨

To mark International Migrants Day, we are delighted to share Lahja’s case study, which is now available on our blog. After years of hardship, Lahja arrived in London seeking safety and hope. Through enthusiastic engagement with Waterloo Community Counselling’s social groups and EMDR therapy, she began rebuilding trust and confidence. Today, she’s thriving - studying at college, joining community initiatives, and inspiring others. Lahja calls WCC “a place where I feel safe and supported.”

Check out our blog to read more about her story (link in bio).

🧠 Mental Health Tip: Sleep Matters

The festive season can be joyful, busy - and sometimes overwhelming. A consistent sleep routine isn’t just nice to have, research shows it’s essential.

✨ Why it matters:
Regular sleep helps regulate the brain’s emotional centers, poor sleep increases reactivity and stress sensitivity. A strong sleep routine bolsters mood, resilience and emotional restoration.

😴 Try one evidence-based sleep habit this week:
Go to bed at the same time every night
Turn off your phone 30 minutes before bed to help wind down
Build a calming bedtime ritual (e.g., a cup of herbal tea, light stretching, soft music)

🌍 Support for Every Voice

Last year alone:

👥 695 people supported — each with their own story, challenges, and hopes for healing.

Every session proves the power of being understood in the language of your heart. 💬
With your support, we can reach even more communities, break down barriers, and make mental health care accessible for all.
