New academic year, exciting new beginnings! 🎒✨

Here’s our Revive team outside Derby Cathedral School on day one, ready and excited to welcome students back.

We are thrilled to share that we’re expanding our support this year—moving from one day a week to providing a full five-day service! With one qualified counsellor and three dedicated student placements on site, we’re ready to offer consistent, dedicated care throughout the entire school week.

We are so looking forward to working collaboratively with the wonderful DCS staff team and supporting the wellbeing and growth of the pupils this year. Here’s to a positive and nurturing term ahead! 💙🌱

🍂This week we've noticed many conversations steer towards the fresh start of Sepember, similar to January and it's traditional NY resolutions. 🌻

There’s something about September that feels like a quiet, collective deep breath.

Even long after our school days are behind us, the shift in the air brings that familiar "fresh notebook" energy—a natural moment to pause, reset, and turn inward. As the fast pace of summer winds down and routines settle, it’s an ideal time to reflect on what you want to carry forward and what you might be ready to gently set down.

Starting counselling in the autumn offers a grounded, supportive space to:

Make sense of transitions, big or small

Create intentional space for yourself before the end-of-year rush

Explore thoughts and feelings with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment

Build steady coping tools for the darker, slower months ahead

New beginnings don’t have to start in January. Sometimes the most meaningful growth begins simply by deciding to give yourself an hour a week to be heard. 🍂

If you’ve been feeling the pull for a fresh start, the door is open.

Just a reminder that due to team members attending a family bereavement, Create and Thrive is NOT on tommorow and will resume in two weeks.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

We still have a few tickets left for this really special event.

Revive Counselling & Wellbeing CIC is proud to host our Revive Fundraiser Ball. This event is especially meaningful as we're raising money for The John Booth Hardship Fund, created in memory of our founder Paula’s Dad who passed away in this July.

The John Booth Hardship Fund has been created by Revive Counselling & Wellbeing CIC in memory of John Booth. The fund helps people facing financial hardship access professional counselling, because everyone deserves support when they need it most, regardless of their financial circumstances.

It's going to be a wonderful evening, including:
✨ A delicious three-course meal
💃 A special performance from Believe Academy Dance Show
🎶 Live music from the fantastic Rocks & Frocks
🎧 DJ Sloyd to keep everyone dancing into the night
🎁 Fundraising activities throughout the evening

We'd love for you to join us or help by sharing this with your family, friends and colleagues. Every ticket sold helps build a lasting legacy in my dad's memory while supporting people in our community.

🎟️ Tickets are available here:

Thank you so much for your support. We hope to see you there. 💙

Understanding ourselves, discovering what makes us unique, our strengths, values and identity is all part of the counselling journey. 🌟

At the heart of what we do is a simple truth: each client who walks through our doors is entirely different. You bring your own experiences, your own challenges, and your own goals to therapy.

That’s why hearing from you at the end of your counselling journey means the world to us. Your feedback isn't just a testimonial—it’s how we listen, learn, and grow.

This lady gave full permission for us to share her feedback on her counselling journey so far (anonymously).

If you'd like to find out more about counselling for an adult you know, or maybe you are interested in counselling yourself, we would love to chat with you.

💛 CREATE & THRIVE – NO SESSION THIS WEEK 💛

We wanted to let everyone know that Create & Thrive will not be running this week.

This week is a particularly important and difficult one, as three members of our Create & Thrive team will be attending our Dad’s funeral. We’ve therefore made the decision to take a break from this week’s session.

At Create & Thrive, we often talk about looking after our wellbeing, making space for what we are experiencing and recognising when we need to pause. This week, we’re choosing to model that too. 💛

Create & Thrive will be back on Thursday 10th September 2026, and we look forward to seeing you then for another afternoon of creativity, connection and wellbeing.

💙 THE JOHN BOOTH HARDSHIP FUND

In honour of our Dad, John Booth, who sadly died in July, we have also created something very close to our hearts.

Through Revive, we regularly meet people who need counselling but whose financial circumstances mean that even subsidised fees can be beyond their reach.

The John Booth Hardship Fund will build a dedicated pot of funding to provide free or further subsidised counselling for children, young people and adults experiencing financial hardship.

Dad was someone who cared about people and was always willing to help others. It feels fitting that his name will continue through a fund that helps people access support during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

If you would like to donate, however small, or simply share the fund with others, we would be incredibly grateful. 💙

Thank you for all the kindness and support you continue to show our family and Revive community. Every blessing Paula Daley (Founder of Revive Counselling & Wellbeing CIC)💛

The John Booth Hardship Fund has been established by Revive Counselling and Wellbeing CIC in memory of John Booth, whose life was dedicated to serving others with compassion, kindness, and integrity.John was a dedicated Councillor, a former Mayor ...
