Like most things in life, when something works we rarely question it 😊, compared to when something doesn’t work we question everything 😵‍💫.
Reviewing the what went well and the not so well is actually a healthy process to go through. There is no script or straight line in how to do things in therapy, often you can feel worse before better or better then worse before better again 🤔. That’s because we open ourselves up into a new world of reflection and self awareness💡bringing the subconscious into the conscious or the uncomfortable into the comfortable. The process will take as long as it needs to, the main thing to remember is as long as we are moving forward, we are heading in the right direction, no matter what shape it’s in✔️ 🏆

Some of the biggest challenges we face in life are internal and it can be overwhelming. Know that you’re not alone, speaking about your problems is one of the best ways you can tackle them. Every climb starts with a step

Anxiety is not just worrying too much. It’s not simply restlessness, panicking, or overthinking.

1. It’s waking up with your heart racing, even though nothing has happened yet.
2. It’s your chest feeling so tight you struggle to take a deep breath.
3. It’s replaying conversations in your head for hours, searching for mistakes you didn’t even make.
4. It’s being exhausted but unable to sleep, because your mind refuses to turn off.

Anxiety can make you question your worth, your safety, and even your future. And the hardest part? From the outside, it often looks invisible. People may say “calm down” or “don’t stress,” without realizing you’ve already tried that a thousand times today.

If you live with anxiety, please know this: you’re not weak, dramatic, or broken. You’re human. You’re navigating something heavy and real, and that takes courage every single day.

If this resonates, let it be a reminder, you deserve understanding, support, and compassion. Get in touch for a chat 🙂

For a lot of people now, it’s the summer holidays, a chance to go on holiday, take a break from a job or simply make use of the day/evenings.
However summer holidays can also be very hectic with kids now off school, extended time not really doing a lot. It can change our moods and decision making as the days just role into one.
Diagram below can be useful if you are noticing in yourself if you are feeling reactive or unsure. Take that time, check in with yourself and when you are ready… Go again.

Happy to share my new website. Take a look. It’s sometimes hard to capture the real outlook of what therapy can offer someone. I hope I’ve been able to do this.

I also often have people get in touch for a range of things, as stated before, I have connections with other therapists through a range of disciplines and I am more then happy to guide you towards the support you are after.

Hi I'm Jamie Court and I am an integrative counsellor, I truly believe that no matter what walk of life you are from, seeing a counsellor or mentor can have so many benefits.

Ever used outside as a natural therapy for yourself?
The privilege to be able to just walk about in the open. Stop on a bench. Talk about absolutely anything and always come away feeling lighter and more positive. 🚶☀️ 🧠 🗣️

Not everything we carry is visible. Some people wake up every day with a storm inside them and still manage to show up like the sun. Others walk through life carrying silent wounds, memories that sting, fears that paralyze, thoughts that spiral, all while putting on a brave face. They smile at family dinners, laugh at jokes in the office, and keep going... even when it feels like they’re falling apart inside.

We don’t talk about how hard that is. We live in a world that celebrates resilience but often ignores the quiet suffering. We’re taught to “get over it,” “stay strong,” and “move on.” There’s still stigma. Still whispers. Still the fear of being labeled as weak, broken, or dramatic. And because of that, so many people suffer in silence, believing that asking for help is something to be ashamed of.

But here’s the truth: therapy is not a sign of failure, it’s an act of deep self-respect. It’s for people who want more for themselves. More peace, more clarity, more freedom from what weighs them down. People go to therapy because they’re tired of carrying the pain alone. Because they’re brave enough to want healing, even when it’s hard.

Walking into a therapist’s office, saying “I need help,” opening up for the first time, that’s not weakness. That’s courage. It’s the first step toward understanding yourself, toward breaking old cycles, toward learning how to breathe again without the weight on your chest.

So if you’ve ever thought about therapy, but shame or fear held you back, you are not alone. Taking that first step is not the beginning of the end. It’s the beginning of coming home to yourself. Therapy isn’t about what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about what’s possible when you choose not to suffer in silence anymore.

And that choice? That’s strength.

Very much makes me think of when I was going through my academic studies, just starting something can feel like a massive mountain, so instead of pressuring myself to complete something there and then, I allowed myself to at least start it and map out what I needed to do… this made that mountain not seem as big.

This is why I offer a free phone consultation to discuss your needs and that mountain or starting point that seemed overwhelming can be halved with just one phone call. Allow yourself to be a priority and allow yourself time to explore and understand what it is that’s led you to seeking support.

It’s also mental health awareness week which is something that should be talked about for more than just a week a few times a year, but it’s about getting the awareness out there and who is available to talk to.

It’s getting to that time of year again… getting outdoors for a walk is so key to our wellbeing. Checked in with yourself lately? If so how are you actually doing? Bring your thoughts outdoors and see where it takes you ☀️

The window of tolerance

The Window of Tolerance is a concept that describes the optimal emotional and physiological state where you can manage stress and respond effectively.
When outside of this window, you may experience
**Hyperarousal** (overwhelmed, anxious) or
**Hypoarousal** (numb, disconnected).
To stay within the window, it's helpful to **Recognize your emotional state**, use **Grounding techniques** (like deep breathing, minafulness, or movement), and
**Engage in self-care**. Building resilience through therapy and compassionate self-awareness can also help.
Practicing these strategies allows you to regulate your emotions and improve relationships over time.
You dont have to do this alone, work with a professionals to get better hold of your emotions.
