A little change is coming…
You may currently know this page as Survivors Support.
Over time, this page will be becoming Bee-lieve Survivors — a dedicated space focused on supporting survivors of sexual violence.
Alongside this, my private counselling work continues through Michelle’s Counselling & Training, where I offer trauma-informed counselling for adults, children and young people.
The two will have different purposes, but both are rooted in the same values:
Compassion
Safety
Choice
Trauma-informed practice
Listening without judgement
Through Michelle’s Counselling & Training, trauma-informed counselling is available along with workplace wellbeing. https://www.michellescounsellingandtraining.co.uk those who would like support with their experiences and how these may be affecting them.
Through Bee-lieve Survivors, I am working towards providing more accessible support specifically for survivors of sexual violence. As part of this, I am looking at offering some of my own time on a voluntary basis, alongside my counselling work.
We're still developing what Bee-lieve will look like, so there will be more to share as things take shape.
For now, you may notice the name Survivors Support gradually changing to Bee-lieve Survivors.
Same commitment to listening.
A growing space for survivors.
And, importantly…
We believe you. 🐝

Anxiety can feel different for everyone.

These feelings are just some of the many ways it may show up. You might relate to all of them, some of them, or none at all, and that's completely valid.

If anxiety is affecting your daily life, speaking with a qualified counsellor can help you better understand your experience and explore the support that's right for you.

You're not alone, and support is available when you're ready.

Sometimes you just need to shake it off. 💃
When we've experienced trauma, our bodies can carry tension and activation long after the danger has passed.
Sometimes we need stillness.
Sometimes we need to breathe.
And sometimes…
we need to MOVE.
Shake your hands.
Roll your shoulders.
Stretch.
Walk.
Wiggle.
Dance.
Put on a song you love and let your body move in whatever way feels comfortable for you.
There is no right way to do this.
You don't have to dance well.
You don't even have to dance at all.
For some survivors, gentle movement can be a way of reconnecting with the body, experiencing choice and finding a little space from the tension we can carry.
Today, we're choosing a little belly dancing. 💃
Not because we have to.
Not because movement magically fixes trauma.
But because sometimes it feels good to move.
And sometimes…
you really can just shake it off. ❤️🐝
🎶 What song would you move to?

Behind closed doors, things aren't always as they seem.
If you or someone you know is living with abuse, please remember: you are not alone, and support is available. When it is safe to do so, reach out for help.

Leaving an abusive relationship is not always as simple as “just leave.”
For someone experiencing domestic abuse, the period when they are preparing to leave, leaving, or have recently left can be a time of increased risk. This is why it is important that leaving is approached with care, appropriate support and, where possible, a personalised safety plan.
Friends and family may understandably want someone to leave immediately. However, pressure or judgement can increase isolation and may not recognise the risks, fears and practical barriers involved.
If you are experiencing domestic abuse and considering leaving, you do not have to plan your next steps alone.
Seeking specialist domestic abuse support can help you explore your options, consider your safety and make informed choices based on your individual circumstances.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999. If you are unable to speak on a mobile call, press 55 when prompted.
Leaving can be a process, not a single event.
Support. Safety. Choice. No judgement.
