Counselling & Mindfulness with Sabine

17/06/2026

This , we're highlighting a concerning finding from Counselling Directory's recent YouGov survey. Nearly one in four UK adults (24%) say they turn to no one when they feel lonely or emotionally low.

Loneliness can affect anyone, and staying silent can make difficult feelings even harder to manage. Whether it's a friend, family member, colleague, support group or mental health professional, reaching out can be an important first step.

This week is a reminder that meaningful connection matters – and that no one should have to face loneliness alone.

It’s Wednesday and we invite you to take just one minute of your busy life and stop to watch this short video 🌱.

Maybe reflect on nature in your life….

Water does not cling to anything, it flows effortlessly, steadily and at ease 🌱.
Can you move like water? With gentle intention and movement and patience 💦.
No forcing or demanding?

“When we push, life pushes back …
When we flow, the path clears.” (Pampamisayoc Qi Gong)

Are you living with dementia or caring for someone who does?

Choose Wellness counsellors recognise the impact dementia has - it brings unpredictability and change.

The counselling session becomes a quiet place of safety, giving the person with dementia and their carer a chance to be heard, to feel stable, accepted and emotionally supported.

As therapist we offer steadiness, reliability, attentiveness and caring.
A quiet place for healing 🌱

When life is chaotic we are here for you 🤍

“Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is to stay and not leave.” - Jurgen Schwarz

It’s Wednesday again and here is another Mindful Moment for you 🤍

We invite you to stop, just for a moment, and watch and listen to this short video (original and unedited!) 🌴

Notice the sounds, even the unwelcome ones such as the wind blowing into the microphone….

Then turn your attention to your body and breath. Do you notice any tension? Try to let it go and relax into this moment 🙏.

You may carry on with your day, maybe feeling a little more relaxed and with increased awareness of how you feel physically and mentally 🤍.

What an inspiring article to start the weekend with! 🤗

Definitely worth a read to the end and to be shared widely 🥰.

Children are the future and we all can play a part to help them thrive in our country 🌱.

“Where Dutch children really standout is that they have very good social relations,” says de Looze. “The amount of support they receive from family and friends, from teachers and classmates – in all of these areas, Dutch children score high.”

Dutch children are consistently ranked the happiest kids in the developed world. What is the Netherlands getting right?

Today is the perfect excuse to celebrate our feline friends and the comfort they bring to our lives 🐾.
Cats can provide much more than companionship.

Spending time with animals can help reduce stress, ease feelings of loneliness, help relaxation and support general mental wellbeing 💛.
Cats, in particular, have a special way of helping us slow down, be present and find comfort in the moment 🐈‍⬛.

Whether it’s a gentle purr, a cosy cuddle or just their reassuring presence, our furry companions can provide valuable emotional support 😸.

Animal-assisted therapy is becoming increasingly recognised for its role in supporting mental health, helping people feel more connected, comforted and emotionally supported 💕🌟.

So today take a moment to appreciate the positive impact animals can have on our wellbeing. Celebrate the joy they bring to our lives 😸❤️.

We’d love to see your feline friends!

It’s Wednesday and we are inviting you to take a break in your busy day 💛
Take a moment to stop what you are doing, allow yourself to sit down and watch this short video 💛
Try and relax the muscles in your body, especially your shoulders, neck and face.
Notice your breath - the in-breath and the out-breath and how your breathing slows down whilst you are watching and listening to video 🌱
This is an element of Mindfulness- focusing and noticing in awareness 🙏
Many of our counselling clients welcome gentle mindfulness as it compliments their therapy 💛
We hope you enjoy our Wednesday Mindful Moments 🥰

🌟 It's UK Small Business Week! 🌟

From 1st–7th June, we're celebrating the incredible contribution that small businesses make to our communities, economy, and everyday lives. 💙

One great example of a successful small business-
Three Deep Breaths School Of Qigong

Behind every small business is a person (or team) juggling responsibilities, managing challenges, meeting deadlines, and often wearing multiple hats.

While running a business can be rewarding, it can also bring stress, pressure, anxiety, and feelings of isolation.

At Choose Wellness, we understand that mental wellbeing is just as important as business success🌱.

Whether you're a business owner, self-employed professional, employee, or entrepreneur, taking care of your mental health is an investment in both your personal and professional wellbeing. 💚

Counselling can provide a safe, confidential space to:
✨ Manage stress and anxiety
✨ Build resilience and confidence
✨ Improve work-life balance
✨ Navigate change and uncertainty
✨ Support overall emotional wellbeing

This UK Small Business Week, we encourage all small business owners and teams to prioritise their mental health alongside their business goals. You don't have to carry everything alone. 🤝

📩 If you'd like to learn more about the counselling and life coaching services we offer, we'd be happy to help.
