In a World Where You Can Be Anything: Kindness in and Beyond the Counselling Room
In a world where opinions travel fast and social media often shows only fragments of our lives, it’s easy to forget the power of simple kindness. In this blog, I reflect on the importance of empathy, the unseen stories behind smiles and posts, and what the counselling room can teach us about truly being seen. A gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and consider how we meet ourselves and others with care.

When Excitement Meets Anxiety: The Real Feelings of Travel
We’re told holidays are the ultimate escape, the highlight reel of life. Scroll through TikTok or Instagram and it’s all smiles, sunshine, and cocktails. But behind every “perfect” trip is often a mix of excitement and unease, the build up, the packing, the airport stress, and the tug of homesickness when it’s all over. As a person centred counsellor and recently self confessed homebird, I’ve learned that holidays can bring as much inner reflection as outer adventure. This blog explores the joy and anxiety that come with getting away and how understanding ourselves through a person centred lens can help us find balance between the two.
