It can be feel difficult to know what to say to someone who has been bereaved. Sometimes we avoid mentioning the person they have lost because we don’t want to remind them of their grief. But the truth is, they haven’t forgotten that person and talking about them could help.
Willows is here to help if you would like to find out more about counselling and how we could support you on your journey of grief https://www.willowscounselling.org.uk/counselling/

This week is Grief Awareness Week.
Grief can feel overwhelming at times. If someone you love has died, you may have felt a pressure to appear to be ‘back to normal’ before you felt ready. It is good to remember that there is no set timeline for grief. It is an individual journey for each of us. Willows are here to help if you would like to find out more about counselling and how we could support you on your journey of grief.

Appreciation Post

We recieved an unexpected act of kindness today. As well as offering their time, advice, and guidance, the wonderful team at E V O L V E L I T H O generously donated some specialist paper for our B2B services brochures to be printed on.
In times when life is busy and demands are high, it is so impactful to take a moment to connect with the needs of another. We are grateful to the Evolve Litho team for doing this for us today. Thank you for your interest in our charity and for supporting the work we do.

Did you know that November is Men's Health Awareness Month?

The BUPA Wellbeing Index (2025) found that 50% of men have struggled with poor mental health at some point but only 24% of men who have experienced this would talk to their friends about how they are feeling.
At Willows we know how valuable it can be to talk to someone in a confidential setting where you are listened to without judgement. Contact us today to find out more about counselling.

It's World Kindness Day!
The Kindness Test Project (conducted by the BBC and the University of Sussex) found that both receiving and giving acts of kindness are good for our wellbeing. Why not take time to notice ways others are kind to you today? And then look for opportunities to offer kindness to others too. It's amazing the difference even a smile can make to someone else's day.

Our 2026 CPD programme is live on our Eventbrite page, with the final dates due to be added over the next week. Booking can be made here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/willows-counselling-training-30343729600

Today is Stress Awareness Day
Prolonged stress can impact our physical and mental health. It's good to be aware of our stress levels and find ways to reduce them. Did you know that doing some form of movement, such as a short walk or standing up and stretching for a few minutes can help dissipate stress hormones and boost endorphins? You could even invite a colleague, friend or family member to join you.

Some days, it can be hard to see the wood for the trees.
Life can get a little like this, and challenging times or painful experiences can leave us feeling lost, confused, or overwhelmed.

Counselling can offer a boundaried, confidential space to work through some of these difficulties and the impact they are having on your life and wellbeing.
