Stephanie Newman Counselling

You matter. You have worth. Your strength lies in your ability to speak about your challenges & difficulties. If you struggle to articulate your feelings counselling can help you find your voice.

Sometimes you just need to talk...

Often clients come to see me because they recognise that past trauma is bleeding into their relationships. Sometimes clients don't understand their behaviours & are confused & therefore seek therapy.

I hear my clients often discount their own trauma & suffering.
You most definately are deserving of support & recovery.

Mourning the mothers you deserved is an integral part of healing.

We are all living poems 🍃

Unconventional Grief, Ambiguous Grief, or grieving someone alive are all very real and pertinent forms of grief that deserve to be heard, understood and addressed.

To allow oneself to be vulnerable is an extraordinary act of courage.

This isn't saying sad people are negative. Rather that others can view them as negative. Therefore, the opposite of that is the idea that a 'positive' person can come along and invalidate the feeling of sadness by saying "you have no reason to be sad, it's all rainbows out here in the world look at all the things you have to feel great about". Thus the sentiment of this post is - showing someone 'warmth' is not just being empathetic. It's acknowledging they that are having an emotion, and gifting them the respect, time & space to feel it without any judgement from others.

I am here to tell you that your trauma is valid.

Give yourself the gift of healing.
