Winning the 2025 Readers' Choice Diamond Award for Best Marriage, Family & Individual Counselling, was such an exciting moment, so I was genuinely surprised to open an email from The Midland Mirror letting me know that Lighthouse Counselling & Social Work Services had been once again been awarded the Diamond Award for 2026.

Sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is stop trying to force ourselves to “figure it out” in the middle of feeling overwhelmed ~ A pause, a breath, a quieter moment, or a little less pressure can help the nervous system settle enough to see things more clearly.
