I have reached 4000 counselling sessions! This feels like a milestone so I celebrated in my own geeky way, - by doodling it!🀣
In all seriousness though, as I reflect back to those first 100 hours I had to complete whilst training to the full caseload I hold now in my own business, I feel honoured that clients have chosen me. Chosen me to share their secrets with, to talk through the hardest times of their lives, to get support and coping techniques, to cry in front of in absolute heartbreaking agony. Chosen to put their trust in me, and in return I offer compassion, warmth and no judgements, all within my safe, cosy and professional space. Thank you to all πŸ’•

My work definitely isn't the usual 9-5, this is how my Saturday looks today, starting with self-care at the gym, online training mid morning and then I'm out with my friends this evening to go and see a poet we love!

As I work for different agencies, it is important that I make sure that any essential training with them is kept up to date, so this morning it was looking at risk policies! My days are varied and a constant juggle of work and personal life but it works for me! Now time to relax!

Hope your weekend goes well however it looks for you πŸ’•

It's Spring Equinox today and I had the perfect day for it as I did a long walk alone! I'm trying to get better at being ok on my own and today I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, it was just what I needed to clear my head. I then had further space this afternoon to reflect and focus on what's going on for me, after helping others do it, sometimes I need support helping me to do the same.
Happy weekend all πŸ’•

I absolutely love my counselling sessions with children and young people! (I work with age 10 plus)

Sometimes we play games and I worry if their parents will think we are just having fun, we do have fun I have got to admit but playing is about so much more; it helps build rapport as often the young people are nervous so it helps create a relaxed atmosphere, it is also great for emotional regulation. Whether we are playing games, doing something crafty or using another creative tool like feelings cards or a worksheet, it is all about creating a space that feels safe for my clients to explore difficult feelings.

In addition to the usual worries that young people may have such as school issues, family worries, loss, friendship & relationship stress, exam anxiety, identity questions, there seems to be more worries also around the bigger picture such as what is going on abroad currently as well as worries closer to home as many of our local schools have been having lockdown practices. My office provides a place to explore any issue they want,and I will always meet them with care and no judgements.

I should also say though that safeguarding is paramount in my work and sometimes difficult conversations need to be had with their carers, this is always only to keep my clients safe so their limits to confidentiality which get explained at the start.

My sessions with my young clients can be filled with laughter one minute and tears the next, all emotions are welcome and as always, I feel like the luckiest counsellor going that this young person and their families have chosen to place their trust in me πŸ’•

(please note I have no after school appointments available for new clients at the moment)

I love this quote! It’s an important reminder to us all that there are always going to be people around that may try to bring us down and although it can be very hard not to let them get to us, we must try to always retain our sparkle! Happy Wednesday!πŸ’•

πŸ™Œ Things I am grateful for today...
πŸ’• The sun is out
πŸ’• I had time for a lovely 5K walk and the gym
πŸ’• My hip is fixed so can enjoy walking again
πŸ’• My job allows me the flexibility to have some time
πŸ’• I have had 3 new enquiries today
πŸ’• I'm having one of my fave teas tonight
πŸ’• I had a free coffee so could have a treat and read
πŸ’• I helped a caterpillar across a path (hoping it makes up for scaring the spider last night)
(and of course all the usual things I am grateful for every day like my family and friends πŸ₯°)

So spiders have always been the thing I can't cope with, so you can imagine my reaction this evening when I came to make myself and my client a drink and there was a huge (ish!) spider in one of my mugs! There was absolutely no way I could pretend I was ok with this so as calmly as I could manage, I took the mug outside, to my young clients amusement! Just finished for the day and the mug is still there! Another reminder that despite the years of psychological training, I'm still human and have my own fears and worries too!πŸ™ˆ

Sorry to anyone waiting for replies to emails or messages but last night didn't go to plan...

What should have been an hour round trip took 5 hours as my car broke down!

I found myself going through a whole range of emotions from thinking it was funny, worry, fear, anger, resentment and tiredness! (as well as being cold and hungry!)

Then I decided to take control of some of my feelings so I focused on the positives:

- we were all safe and really that's all that matters
but also...
- the kindness shown to us by others in the fact that my family got rescued while I waited and friends offered to come and keep me company or bring warm drinks
- glad I keep books that have nowhere else to live in my boot (I call it my boot library!) - and it had a blanket in there too
- the moon was gorgeous and I felt like she was watching over me (sounds kind of crazy I know but it was comforting!)
- the breakdown guy was kind to me as well as fixing the problem
- I had some time to relax on my own

So all the other thoughts were still there (stressed as I had family coming round for dinner so I missed them, worried that I had a zillion other things I had planned to be doing)but I chose what to focus on and it helped me stay positive and calm.

It's an interesting thing to do, try and make a choice over what you think about in this way and see how you get on too!

Sorry to those waiting for a reply, I will get back to you today or tomorrow πŸ’•

Another beautiful day! Anyone else feeling so much better to see the blue skies! Not quite t shirt weather yet so still wearing my stereotypical counsellor clothes of cardigan (albeit very cute cardi!) and scarf (although anyone that know me will know that I'm not your typical counsellor 🀣) πŸ’•

Feeling thankful for March!

I woke up in a better head space until I remembered I needed to do Feb's invoices! This is the down side of running my own business and not being great at managing time on the week as now I need to give up some of my time on a Sunday!

On the plus side, I have a lovely cup of tea, as tea always helps, and some daffodils for St David's Day to brighten my work space up and I am off to watch Wuthering Heights later so that should keep me motivated!

Have a nice Sunday whatever you are doing πŸ’•
