Happiness comes not from feeling obliged to act or do what you think you 'should', nor does it come from rebelling against this. Happiness comes from being free to make your own choices.

Maybe you've been feeling pretty flat for a few days/weeks/months and just know this isn't you.. You're not able to enjoy the things you used to.. Making conversation is taxing, even smiling takes some effort when it came so naturally before. You desperately want to get back to being the person you were before but simply can't. As a result you feel guilty and start to question everything. You even question whether you're worth enough to get some help with what's going on.. YOU ARE. Whether anyone even cares.. THEY DO.

One of my clients just gave this to me.. Such a beautiful phrase which meant a huge amount to him and I think these words are true for a lot of people including myself.

Just received this lovely message from a client.
'Hope you dont mind me messaging, just wanted to thank u for all the help uve given me, the councilling has been an amazing journey and sorted my head out so so much! Very much a different person with it, would recommend it to anyone! Thank u again and massive thanks for ur help! X'

Did you know that you can text 07725 909090 when you are feeling down, depressed or hopeless and a trained counsellor will text you back?
Many people don't like talking on the phone & find it difficult to open up to their friends and family. Some people are more comfortable texting. It's a service run by Samaritans. You can't always tell when somebody is struggling, even if they're a loved one. By sharing this you could be helping somebody more than you'll ever know. You just don't know who might be needing it. #ItsOkNotToBeOk #mentalhealthawareness

Have you ever thought about counselling but not been entirely sure or not wanted to wait for months on a waiting list? I'm a private counsellor with appointments available almost immediately. I offer sessions in the evening to fit around people's work and from January I will have multiple appointments available during the day on Mondays for those who have children to fit it around. It is relaxed, informal and at your own pace. For more information please visit www.alphabetcounselling.co.uk
