25.01.2022 I remember when I first saw this photo, I was studying and to say I was a little overwhelmed, was very true. I had three young children, a husband who worked shifts, I worked every second weekend plus trying to fit university and study in the equation! This picture made me laugh and also reminded me visually it could be worse. Times have changed but sometimes I still have to remind myself when life seems overwhelming to never give up. photo by http://www.nairaland.com

23.01.2022 It is important to remember when we lose someone we love, we will be sad and at times we can feel there is no light at the end of this tunnel called grief. But just as in life there is a time to laugh, dance, share good times there is a time when one needs to stop and feel the sadness. The article below by Susan Piver looks at the importance of Sadness. Contact Shirley at Turning Point Counselling if you would like support with a loss you maybe struggling with.

22.01.2022 I have helped clients who have experienced unconventional grief. Many clients have not thought they were grieving...they have said "how can I be when my wife/husband is still here"....but, dementia had stolen memories of a life together. The one left with memories mourns the relationship and the loss and grief can be deep, not only for them but family and friends as well. Loss and grief permeates our everyday lives- loss of time, a job, health, a home to name but a few. If you would like support please call/email Turning Point 0412833122 / [email protected],.au

21.01.2022 In my work holding space for someone is not a new concept, I hold space for people who have lost a loved one supporting them in the way they need to be supported. Ensuring they feel safe, understood and comforted in their grief, helps them to work through all the emotions they are feeling. If you want some insight into holding space for someone this article may be of help, with some worthwhile techniques.

21.01.2022 Another wonderful article to read and maybe think about as you endure those difficult moments and help you to build resilience.

19.01.2022 Death is inevitable for us all, yet we still find it hard to discuss. We need to speak about what we want so when the time comes those we love will know our wishes. A good article addressing some very important issues.

16.01.2022 The greatest gift you can someone who is grieving is your time and not feel you have to fix anything....just be PRESENT hold space for them.

15.01.2022 Holding space for yourself is also important :)

15.01.2022 When someone is sad, it's a common response to attempt to cheer them up or erase their blues. But unless someone asks for assistance in shaking their mood, it's usually more helpful to listen to sadness than to try to relieve it.

14.01.2022 Grief, Loss and Insidious Loneliness One of the most painful aspects of the grieving process can be loneliness. We expect to be sad, but the feeling of loneliness has its own and subtly different kind of pain. It can be unsettling and scary. What you need to know is that you are not alone in feeling these feelings. I hope that just knowing that will help you to feel a little less lonely. It makes perfect sense to feel lonely at times. The one who you loved so much and t...Continue reading

11.01.2022 What a wonderful saying....I have had clients who found this quote comforting, maybe you will too.

11.01.2022 I am a big fan of the Gottman Institute it has done wonderful research on family relationships.....including couple counselling and children to name two. But, it is important to care for ourselves also. Turning Point can help with relationship issues .....spouse, children, relatives BUT sometimes the relationship we need help the most with is......the relationship with self.....learning to like who we are and to lessen negative self talk can be a good starting point if this sounds like you or someone you care about contact Shirley for further information 0412833122, pm me at Turning Point or email [email protected]

10.01.2022 Welcome to Turning Point Counsellling. Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? This diagnosis is a devastating experience for most people. I have been working in this field for over 15 yrs with both adults and children. Firstly as a nurse and then as a counsellor At times you may feel as if you are riding an emotional roller coaster, with no end in sight. Often the best place to start is to seek support by talking to close family or friends, but sometimes talking ...of your distress to those close to you can be difficult and painful. Talking to someone from outside of that circle who can listen and support you or your loved one during this difficult time, can be of great benefit. Contact me on o412833122, email or PM me on facebook to book a session. Home visit can be arranged in some circumstances. See more

09.01.2022 When we lose someone we have loved, there is tremendous pain, and for those who are looking on and wanting to do something to help, this article maybe of some benefit. Remember, just being present is powerful and comforting for those who have lost someone.

08.01.2022 Turning Point Counselling offers support across many areas, one area close to my heart is supporting parents who have lost a child. This type of loss has so many layers of pain, the empty space where once a child had been, the memories of time together, the future without them, the memories that would have been made and are no longer possible, parents feel their heart is breaking in two!! A couple of weeks ago I facilitated a weekend away for a group of parents who had lost ...Continue reading

08.01.2022 People often wonder when they should reach out for help around a death. Call whenever death or loss or the possibility of a death or loss starts to occupy a b...ig place in your thoughts. Maybe someone is aging and the end of their life is in sight. Maybe someone has had a significant diagnosis and suddenly their death feels more possible than it did before. Even if they recover, a brush with death is still a huge soul-process for everyone to go through. If people are thinking about death, but not talking about it to each other, or to the person whos ill or dying thats the time to get help. Those feelings need space, and keeping them locked in is rarely helpful. ________ www.soulpassages.ca Nature-based spiritual support for illness, death or loss

08.01.2022 The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Upon reading this quote my mind wandered to all the beautiful people I have had the privilege to meet... while working as a counsellor. They have certainly known suffering, struggle, loss and at times felt defeated by their loss, but they have all shared how they have grown, this can be a small step for some, as small as being able to pick up a ringing phone and say hello or larger such as going on holiday without their loved one. The very fabric of who you are is changed and at times the person you were doesnt seem to exist anymore. But as time goes on, you will experience growth and a new way of viewing the world. Grief is a teacher- loss helps us to grow in courage, wisdom and to learn to appreciate the loneliness of others. It is a hard way to learn, and one may not like how it can be a frightening and lonely experience. When we choose to love a person we must let them go when their life ends and integrate that loss into what is now a new world. I have hosted grief morning teas were the loneliness of loss was the topic. These have proved helpful to those attending. Those present shared experiences and felt a sense of acceptance and belonging, these grief morning teas allow people to be where ever they are in this walk of grief.no judgements, one attendee shared how this is my warm comfort place, where I am accepted and understood. If you would like support with Grief contact shirley on 0412833122 to make an appointment at Turning Point Counselling and Hypnotherapy: For Positive Change further information on my facebook page

05.01.2022 Today is dying to know day, lets hope we can start a conversation with those we love about what we want when it comes to the end of our time on this marvellous planet. It would be my hope that everyone has written down and shares with those close to them what is important for them. Remember the opportunity to have this conversation is now...not to be put off for tomorrow because tomorrow maybe too late. If you would like help in having these conversations please don't hesitate to give me a call at Turning Point Counselling 0412833122 I am here to support you in some of life's biggest decisions.
