25.01.2022 Every time I speak my truth or move towards some version of that in my life, I feel a huge sigh of relief and sense of content in my body...’she’s listening’ it says.
23.01.2022 The truest words from @cherylstrayed. I started counselling because I realised just how much I was suffering, and that I also had an innate desire to heal. Maybe you are follow this page because you feel the same? It’s the hardest step in any journey to accept the fact that you’re suffering, and it’s that very realisation that might mean you’re on your way back
22.01.2022 Repeat after me: You are not your thoughts. You are not your thoughts.... You are not your thoughts. Repeat it in front of the mirror, put a reminder on your phone, leave yourself a note on the front of the fridge. Negative self talk can only be described as an incessant commentary on how shit you are, how hard it is, how you are not coping. If this is happening to you, you don’t have to outright ignore them....Treat them with curiosity, think about why those thoughts are there, ask yourself is there truth to them, and ultimately challenge them. Because you are not your thoughts
18.01.2022 We can avoid and avoid and avoid, but it always catches up with us. If you’re realising that there’s something not quite right for you right now, can I just say that’s really tough..I can also tell you you’re on your way to better days
17.01.2022 You know so much more than you’ll allow yourself to acknowledge. Get started, the rest will come.
16.01.2022 Let this season be what it needs to be. Let this week be what it needs to be. Let this day be what it needs to be.... Let this moment be what it needs to be. Artwork via @morganharpernichols
16.01.2022 Every single little part of you deserves love, and *you* are the person in charge of that Via @poetryofdhiman
13.01.2022 My Monday mantra. There are so many things I want to do, practices I want to start but am always putting off - meditation I’m looking at you BUT instead of getting down on myself, this week my goal is to *choose differently* so any habitual behaviour I’m drawn to, I consciously choose to do something else.... Gentle with myself the whole way, as we know it’s the little tiny changes that lead to the biggest things

11.01.2022 A journey, not a destination
11.01.2022 Oh hello, it’s me There’s a few new followers around here, so I thought I’d jump on and explain a little bit about my page That Counsellor Girl is a place where I share my own experiences to help normalise mental health issues that people often silently suffer with, and the things I share on here are often things I’ve written to myself to help me get through whatever’s been going on in the past, or even day to day currently.... I really want to normalise talking about mental health..including big topics like depression or self esteem, but also the day to day anxieties we are all going through and how we might live a happier and more calm life. I myself am very much still learning about this stuff every day, with my biggest aim to share that learning with you - so please, reach out at any point with any questions or musings you might have. I love connecting with people, and would love to hear your story. Big love to you all. All of this sharing is a really huge deal for me...I’ve cracked myself wide open and I really appreciate you all not making me feel like that was a mistake Big big thanks also to @monika_berry for these images of me
10.01.2022 And that’s just it. I’ve been a tiny bit stressed this week, because I’ve wanted to write all of this insightful stuff about mental health and growth...but I’ve been stuck, frozen in fear of getting it wrong, regurgitating things I’ve already said, not being any help to anyone whatsoever. But I’m starting to learn that the things I want to write about come up and out of me naturally...when they’re ready, and that’s ok for now. ... I have come so far on this never ending journey, and today I’m going to just sit with that achievement. No more, no less. Progress Artwork via @allthingslillyann

03.01.2022 My high, high hopes Thanking every single one of you for joining me on this journey
02.01.2022 When the words ‘I can’t believe I’m going to admit to/tell you this’ precede something in my counselling sessions, is when I find I have the biggest breakthrough’s And most of the time I’m admitting that thing to MYSELF for the first time as well. How freeing it is to shine light on something that’s been bubbling away in the dark and talk about it. If you have someone you can trust to admit things to then it’s great and you should, although a less daunting way to do it co...uld be via journaling and that way it’s only for you. Being vulnerable is so hard, but oh so liberating too
