Sometimes I worry I’ve become the consultant in my own life.

I listen. I ask questions. I reflect. I model questions for clients.

Then I catch myself doing the same with my partner over something trivial.

Yes: this job teaches us so much.

But it also bleeds into the simplicity of being.

No one sees the version of me that sits in the car before driving home.

Not because I’m broken.
Not because I can’t cope.

But because I need a moment to switch from holding space for everyone else
to holding it for myself.

That pause is part of the work too.

Therapy can feel daunting, but it’s one of the safest spaces for growth and healing.

These are the words every therapist wants you to hear—because you deserve to feel supported, seen, and empowered.

What’s one message that has stayed with you during your journey?

Let us know in the comments.

Every therapist needs therapist friends.

The ones who get the weird notes you scribble.

Who know what “How are you?” really means after five back-to-backs.

Who send voice notes like supervision, but funnier.

You don’t need a network.

You need your people.

Find them. Keep them close.
It makes all the difference.

They don’t always notice how much they’ve changed.

But I do.

The way they sit differently.

The language they use now.

The strength they don’t realise they’ve built.

Progress is subtle.

Part of my job is holding it up to the light.

28/10/2025

Sometimes I’m the first person they’ve ever trusted.

That’s not light.

That’s not casual.

It’s a responsibility I feel in my bones.

Therapy starts with trust.

Everything else follows.

23/10/2025

Sometimes I know they’re pushing to see if I’ll still stay.

A sharp comment.

A silence that stretches.

A look that says, “Will you still be here if I show you this side of me?”

I don’t flinch.

Because staying is the point.

21/10/2025

Some of the most important things never make it into the notes.

The sigh of relief.

The first time they laugh in session.

The way they look at the door and finally choose to stay.

You can’t capture that in bullet points.

But it’s what tells me therapy is working.

16/10/2025

The hardest part isn’t answering questions. It’s asking them.

Because every question risks too much, too soon.

Or not enough.

Every question is a decision:

Will this open a door, or shut one?

Therapists don’t just listen.

We take risks, too.

14/10/2025

Clients don’t always know how much I hold back.

There are things I could say.

Links I could make.

Connections I could point out.

But it’s not about how fast I see it.

It’s about how ready they are to.

Patience is part of the practice.

09/10/2025

No one warned me how weird it feels to charge for care.

I believe in boundaries.
I believe in valuing the work.

But there’s still a part of me that feels off when I hit “send invoice.”

Because therapy is sacred.
And money feels… transactional.

Balancing the two?

That’s its own emotional labour no one talks about.

07/10/2025

Not every ethical dilemma is dramatic.

It’s not always child protection or mandated reporting.

Sometimes it’s:
Do I accept that follow request?
Do I wave if I see a client at the supermarket?
Do I laugh at a joke that might be a defence?

It’s daily. Quiet. Constant.

And most people never realise how much we weigh it all.

About takeaseat.co.uk

Hi Facebook Friends,

We’d like to introduce you to takeaseat.co.uk, a brand new digital platform that connects everyday people, like you, with counsellors, therapists & coaches using the power of community.

Our Story:

The founders of takeaseat.co.uk grew up with parents as mental health professionals, becoming overly familiar with the catch 22 of; no clients-no money, no money-no clients, story.

The marketing tools available, required financial outlay or subscription, with no guarantee of success and by nature create an unfair bias towards those of means, who simply pay for optimal visibility.

Over time we realised the over-reliance of referrals was a fundamental failing of the mental health system. And everyday people still aren’t getting the help they need... Which is simply unacceptable!

There are passionate professionals, ready to help but perhaps struggle to be visible in a biased system. Which is why we set out to create, takeaseat.co.uk (learn more about our story here)

Our story - gave us the passion necessary to create change in a space that is far too important to have an inefficient system.
