Wishaw Counselling Service

This week it’s #sexualviolenceawarenessweek. Join in the conversation to raise awareness.
This supports those that have struggled through difficult times, and also those, like myself, who are actively helping people through counselling and other services available
​Professional help is available ...... if you, a friend, a colleague, or a family member needs to talk about this, please reach out to someone this week.
... A confidential and safe space is where you can start from.
Contact me today via my website and I can let you know the next steps www.wishawcounsellingservice.co.uk

Today is #TimeToTalkDay. It’s a good day to emphasise the importance of talking about mental health.
As a counsellor/psychotherapist, I talk about this every day.
How often do you talk about mental health?
... 1. Rarely 2. All the time 3. I don’t want to get the stigma so I don’t talk about it.
If you need to find someone to talk things over with .... no matter how big or small, if you are in the Wishaw/Lanarkshire area, contact me here via my website www.wishawcounsellingservice.co.uk

True story 😃

“What I am is good enough, if I would only be it openly” - Carl Rogers What does this quote say to you?
For me, it means trust in yourself openly - in full view of everyone, don't let other people make you doubt yourself or question yourself. Don't downplay how fabulous you are! Trust and have faith in you!

Cancer affects us in one way or another. 1 in 2 people will get diagnosed at some point in our lives.
This is something that counselling can help with if you have been affected by cancer. Don't go through this alone. I am a phone call away if you would like to set up an appointment 07488 312784

Love this and it made me laugh 🥰😂

Let’s raise awareness about sexual violence this week using #sexualviolenceawarenessweek
Did you know that approximately 90% of those who are raped know the perpetrator prior to the offence?
You don’t have to remain quiet because of this. Rape is rape, no matter the circumstances.
... Please re share this post to help raise awareness. Contact me if there’s anything you’d like to talk through regarding this topic. www.wishawcounsellingservice.co.uk

#SelfCareSunday! We all have busy lives, and with social media we are constantly in touch with our friends, family and colleagues.
Have you looked after your own needs today?
​Maybe you’ve wanted a longer lie-in or a nap…maybe reading a good novel has been left on the side because of commitments…there’s that friend that you haven’t seen in a long time…
... Can you find some time today to tick a self-care activity off your list?
​Here are some ideas to choose from:
​- Nap
- Book
- Visit a friend or relative
- Spend time alone
- Go for a walk
​Enjoy, Julie.

Let’s shine a spotlight on young carers today. According to the Children’s Society, The number of recognised young carers in the UK has risen by more than 10,000 in four years.
We can all play a part in recognising and supporting their work and the sacrifices they’ve had to make to care for their loved ones.
