I haven't seen the course yet, but I respect the work that @FamilyLinks do. If you sometimes fell like scratching your head and not knowing how to respond to your child or their behaviour, this FREE online course may be for you.

I'm delighted to be joining the team of Mind Reframed as an Associate Therapist! It's an honour to be part of a group of so talented and skilled therapists! https://www.mind-reframed.com/aboutus

This article summarises why I trained in EMDR to provide so vital post-partum support. www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

Good to know where you can access some support over Christmas period! www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

If you're still looking for Christmas gifts for your spouse or partner, check out links below. Signing up for a Hold Me Tight programme is a wonderful way of saying "I love you and I care about our relationship." The book follows the same steps as in the online programme. I recommend Hold Me Tight because I've seen it works for couples!

There are 18 hours left until this competition closes - please help Home-Start West Berkshire to win funding for the Babies & Buddies group. Last year I came up with the idea to set up baby play-groups in Newbury care home to prevent depression and loneliness in new parents and elderly as well as give babies space to mingle with older generations. We run a pilot project already and the group proved to be a wonderful way to connect three generations! We hope to be able to run this group all year round in Newbury, but we need funding to do this. Your vote can help us achieve this! We're so close to winning!

EMDR sessions for birth trauma are now available in Newbury! Please share with your friends or family member who may need this effective treatment. I support both men and women when the experience of birth left mums and dads feeling unsafe, violated or hurt. You may be struggling now to bond with your baby, to feel close to your partner or the thought of giving another birth just overwhelms you with anxiety. I also provide dedicated help for the aftermath of miscarriage or abortion. Please remember, seeking help is NOT a sign of weakness. Therapists know that it takes strength to ask for help. #emdr #birthtrauma #postnatal www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

How your attachment style affects your relationship? If you haven't had a good relationship model it may be difficult to imagine what trust and connection look like. You will need to stay open and look for resources so you CAN LEARN HOW TO BE IN RELATIONSHIPS. Help is out there. www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

Why am I a couples therapist? There's an unspeakable beauty in helping people mend broken bonds and witnessing love being reborn. Love that becomes deeper and more meaningful because of the difficulties and trials the relationship went through. www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

#worldmentalhealthday this year for me is again dedicated to all mums carrying for newborns and babies. Take care of yourselves and accept any help <3 www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

Next month this time I'll be be starting my EMDR training - exciting! I hope to weave this effective trauma treatment into my work with couples. I also want to provide specialist services focused on healing birth trauma - stay tuned! www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

It IS hard to remember that underneath the anger and loud voice is hurt or fear. But dare, learn and risk to be more vulnerable with each other. It will transform your relationship. www.kamilacounselling.co.uk

This year keeps bringing my practice a lot of important, professional recognition. In April, I became one of only 13 certified EFT Couples Therapists in the UK. And this week, I gained Accreditation with BACP! It's hugely satisfying to receive my certificate showing that my practice meets high ethical and clinical standards. I've been working towards the accreditation for the past 4 years... Thanks to all my clients who inspire me every day to keep getting better in supporting them!

I see this so often in the couples I work with. Brains primed for flight-or-flight responses since they were children make it an extra hard work to stay emotionally balanced in the face of a trigger in a relationship. Good news is - we can rewire our brains and restore closeness with our partners. www.kamilacounselling.co.uk
