Victoria Moores, Counselling in Hastings

I absolutely love this explanation/dramatisation of what therapy is about. It might come across as flippant - but there are some genuinely good insights here that illustrate the process of therapeutic change.

This piece is beautifully written and so accurately describes the pain of change and choosing not to settle. Transitions of any kind are difficult, especially when it comes to intimate relationships.

Healing often comes with loneliness, but that’s a good sign. It means you’re raising your standards and waiting for the love you deserve.

I love this idea of 'listening benches,' where people can show that they have time to talk - or a need to talk - by simply sitting down.

People carry invisible emotional backpacks and this would be a way of making that weight a bit more visible. Just imagine the life-stories that could be shared and the connections that could be created.

I want to flag this to Hastings Borough Council - it would be great to have a similar initiative here.

BBC Scotland's Angie Brown takes a seat on an Edinburgh bench where people are urged to chat to tackle loneliness.

During COVID-19, I am offering reduced-price relationship counselling for couples (and other dynamics, like poly).

You don't have to be at crisis point - therapy can be helpful for general relationship health too.

If you're curious and would like to see what relationship therapy is like, the first 50-minute session is free. Further sessions are £25 each (discounted from £50).

I am currently working remotely via Zoom. Please message me if you'd like more information.
