It might begin quietly — maybe over a cup of tea, in a moment when the house is still. You notice a thought rising: I think I’d like to talk to someone.
Someone who listens without judgement.
Someone who can help you make sense of things that feel tangled.

Choosing a counsellor is a meaningful step. It takes courage and self-care to even start looking. And because it’s so personal, it’s worth taking a little time to find someone who feels right for you.

Life moves fast — and sometimes we forget to slow down long enough to notice how we’re really feeling. A Little Friday Pause is a weekly reflection, a small moment to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself.

Each Friday, I share gentle thoughts and reminders drawn from my work as a counsellor and my own journey of learning to pause — to look after myself, to reflect, and to find small moments of calm in the chaos.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a little space to pause. 💛

Following on from World Mental Health Day, I’m beginning something new — something I’ve wanted to create for a long time: A Little Friday Pause.

Each Friday, I’ll be sharing a short, gentle reflection — an invitation to slow down, take a breath, and check in with yourself. Life can be fast, noisy, and full of expectations. Sometimes what we need most isn’t to do more, but to pause — to notice how we’re really feeling, without judgement or pressure.
