This Week at SafeSpace Counselling

Some weeks quietly shape you.
Others leave a mark you’ll remember for a long time.
This one did both.

💙 Monday – Stronger Together
Men’s mental health sits at the heart of my work, and this week reminded me why steady support, patience, and showing up really matter. Growth does not always shout. Sometimes it simply keeps going.

🟣 Tuesday – Teen Truths
Loneliness does not announce itself. It hides behind busy lives, exams, driving tests, and scrolling thumbs. Noticing it is often the first act of care.

🟣 Wednesday – From the Heart
A personal milestone. I have now completed my extensive online training with Citizens Advice and will be moving into supervised client work. This next step means supporting clients directly under supervision, one step closer to being fully signed off. Quietly proud. Deeply grateful.

🟣 Thursday – Bridging the Gap
Loneliness touches every generation. Whether young or older, being seen, heard, and taken seriously can change the shape of a day, sometimes a life.

🟢 Friday – Parent Pause
Parents carry so much without realising how heavy the load has become. Pausing is not giving up. It is choosing to breathe before continuing.

🔴 Community Joy
Fantastic news for the Beavers, who received a £500 donation arranged by Councillor Justin Bowen for Tenbury & The Villages. This will make a huge difference to their summer activities and the smiles that come with them.

🚗 And in amongst it all
Four practical driving tests this week. Four. A reminder that progress is built through repetition, resilience, and a lot of deep breaths.
A week of learning, community, growth, and small victories that matter more than they appear.

As Alan Watts gently reminds us:

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

If any part of this week reflects where you are right now, you do not have to carry it alone.

🟣 TUESDAY | Teen Truths Focus

For teens who feel alone and the adults who care about them

Many young people feel lonely even when surrounded by others.
They may struggle to explain it, or worry they will not be understood.

That’s why I created 5 free mental health guides, written to be supportive, clear, and easy to understand.

These guides are for teenagers who are struggling
and for parents, carers, and families who want to help but are not sure how.

What they cover

☑️ Understanding mental health in everyday language
☑️ Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
☑️ Depression and low mood
☑️ Teen mental wellbeing and support
☑️ Recognising and protecting against unhealthy dynamics

💙 All 5 guides are free

Listening matters.
Support matters.
No young person should feel they have to face this alone.

The Door Is Open

Sometimes the hardest part of getting support is simply knowing where to begin.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by the noise of everyday life, my door is open.
No pressure. No judgement. Just a safe space to pause.

A gentle conversation.
A little clarity.
A moment to breathe.

You do not have to arrive with the right words.
You do not need to know exactly what you need.
You just need a place to start.

I have also attached emergency mental health contact numbers to this post. If things feel urgent, unsafe, or too heavy to carry alone, please reach out to those services straight away. Support is there day and night.

If you would like a calmer place to begin, DM the word CONNECT for your free 15 minute clarity call.

As Alan Watts reminds us,
“You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago.”

Often, those first five minutes begin with a simple conversation.

🔵 MONDAY | Men’s Mental Health Focus

A quiet note for men who carry a lot on their own

Many men are taught to cope in silence.
To stay busy.
To push through.
To deal with it later.

Later often turns into loneliness, anxiety, or burnout.

That’s why I created 5 free mental health guides, written in plain language, practical, and supportive rather than clinical.

They are for men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn.
And for those who want clarity without judgement.

Inside the guides

☑️ Understanding mental health and when support matters
☑️ Tools for anxiety and overthinking
☑️ Support for depression and low mood
☑️ Guidance for teens and families
☑️ Protecting yourself from emotionally harmful dynamics

💙 All 5 guides are free

Strength is not coping alone.
It’s knowing when to reach out.

Not everything needs therapy.

Sometimes people need space, support and someone who understands how life actually works.

I offer social prescribing and community wellbeing support for people experiencing loneliness, anxiety, overwhelm and life pressure.

This work sits between mental health and real life.

I support:
• Men struggling quietly
• Young people feeling isolated
• Parents under sustained pressure
• Older adults experiencing loneliness
• Anyone who feels they are coping, but only just

Social prescribing focuses on early intervention, helping people before things reach crisis point.
It reduces isolation, restores clarity and helps people engage with the right support at the right time.

I work alongside:
• GP surgeries
• Charities and community organisations
• NHS aligned services
• Individuals through self referral

As Alan Watts reminded us, many struggles come from disconnection rather than dysfunction.

If you are an organisation looking for safe, relational support
or an individual feeling stuck and unsure where to turn,

CONNECT with me to explore how this support could help.

You do not have to do this alone.
