Exercise and fitness has always played an important part in my mental health. Finding Andrew Turner | Online Body and Mind Coach | North East has made such a difference to my fitness journey.

We're Growing! 🌊

It has been an incredible three years since I founded Shifting Seas Counselling, and I feel truly privileged that so many people have trusted me with their mental health and wellbeing. Watching the practice grow has been both humbling and inspiring.

Over the past few years, one thing has become increasingly clear: there is a real need for accessible mental health support in Hartlepool and across the North East. That's why I'm so excited to share the next chapter in our journey.

Shifting Seas Counselling is expanding!

I'm delighted to welcome Nadine Cameron and Jenny Tumilty to our team of therapists. Both bring a wealth of experience supporting clients of all ages, from children and young people through to older adults. They share the same values that Shifting Seas Counselling was built upon: compassion, empathy and providing a safe, supportive space where people feel heard and understood. I know they will be an invaluable part of our growing team.

By expanding our availability and the ways we offer support, we hope to make it easier for more people to access the help they need, when they need it.

If you've been thinking about reaching out, perhaps now is the time to prioritise your mental health. You don't have to face things alone.

Visit our website to meet the team and find out more about how Shifting Seas Counselling can support you on your mental health journey.

💙 Your mental health matters, and we're here when you're ready.

Emotions can feel overwhelming—especially when they don’t seem to shift.

But feelings are not fixed.
They move, like the weather.

Learning to notice them, rather than fight them, can make a real difference.

If today feels heavy, you don’t have to carry it all at once.

Gratitude isn't about ignoring life's struggles- it's about choosing where you place your focus.

Taking a moment to reflect on what you're grateful for can shift your mindset, reduce your stress and help you feel more grounded.

This is a powerful watch for anyone navigating a challenge right now—mental health, physical health, or both.

It reminded me how individual our journeys are, even when we’re walking the same path. The balance of space and connection. Isolation and camaraderie. Drive, honesty, and support.

We often fixate on the end goal, but there are moments of real triumph along the way—and those moments matter just as much.
