What people have said about my training:

⭐️ Louise’s style was brilliant and very engaging

⭐️ Really beneficial to go back over areas of MHFaid and refresh on certain topics. Course content was concise and delivery was great.

⭐️ I felt that Louise was fantastic and the course was really well delivered. Given some of the course content was very sensitive in nature, Louise made it much easier to absorb than I expected.

A great way to start my morning at Mr Miles tea rooms with Taunton Chamber of Commerce

A great talk from Helen Franklin about being in the present and how to shift different mindsets that keep us small.

A Taunton update from Bethan Turner on what’s happening in the local town.

Networking isn’t necessarily about promoting services to each other, it’s connection, supporting each other, remembering who does what so if you speak with someone looking for what others offer you can point them in their direction.

Great to catch up with Helen Hutt, and meet new people (new to me) Elizabeth from HR Dept Somerset, Joanne from Headway Somerset & Graham from Wessex Commercial Solutions Limited.

Your exam results (GCSEs or any exams) do not define you, nor do they represent your true abilities.

If you didn’t get the results you wanted, it’s normal to feel dishearted, discouraged and like you’re not capable.

It’s not true, believe me!

The school education system needs to change!!

There was something about the partial solar eclipse here in the UK that brought people together.

Families, friends, neighbours and complete strangers were looking up at the same sky, sharing the experience and the wonder of something bigger than ourselves.

And we’re seeing something very different, but perhaps just as powerful, in the way people come together when devastating fires are impacting communities.

In difficult moments, people reach out. They check on one another. They offer practical help, comfort, a listening ear.

There’s something about connection with others that hugely benefits our wellbeing.

Perhaps it’s because we’re not meant to navigate everything alone.

Sometimes, simply being alongside someone else sharing a moment, a conversation, a little kindness can remind us that we belong.

And maybe that’s something worth remembering, not just in the extraordinary moments, but in the ordinary ones too.

Did you know that the Human Givens (HG) Diploma is a nationally recognised qualification in counselling and psychotherapy?

Our Diploma is part of, and explicitly referenced within, the SCoPEd framework – the new national standards framework for training in counselling and psychotherapy which was developed and overseen by the six main counselling and psychotherapy registers: BACP, Human Given Institute (HGI), UKCP, NCPS, BPS and ACC.

As such, the Diploma meets the requirements of the framework, which was officially adopted by all parties in February 2023. There are agreed routes for HG Diploma graduates to transition through the framework’s 3 columns should they wish to do so.

Recently I delivered the Mental Health First Aid Refresher session.

Attendees shared how beneficial the mental health first aid training is. From having a conversation with colleagues and family too plus recognising their own self care needs.

The stigma around mental health still exists, some of this is down to not knowing how to talk about it, how to start the conversation. This needs to change.

There are places still available for the 2 day Mental Health First aid training for those who would like to become a first aider and if your certificate has expired (3 years).

Nothing like a good few hours away from the phone!
No scrolling, no pinging, nothing!

Instead time spent sitting in the garden paying attention to natures sounds, the glorious sunshine and what was an initial gentle breeze (soon picked up this afternoon) whilst the husband did us tea on the bbq.

Off with the crocs (yes I’m a croc fan!) and bare feet touching natures carpet, great opportunity for grounding.

When was the last time you spent a good few hours separate from your phone?

✨ Guided Relaxation is back! ✨

I’m really pleased to be bringing my Guided Relaxation evenings to a new venue this September.

Life can feel busy, and we often spend so much time looking after everyone else that we forget to take a moment for ourselves.

These gentle 40-minute sessions are an opportunity to simply pause.

To breathe.

To let go of the day’s build-up and give yourself permission to slow down.

🟣 Tuesday 22nd September

🟣 7:15pm – 7:55pm

🟣 Williton Memorial Ground & Pavilion

🟣 £12 per person

Whether you’ve joined me before or you’re thinking about trying guided relaxation for the first time, you’ll be very welcome.

Bring a mat, pillow and blanket to help you get comfortable, then all you need to do is relax. I do have some mats available.

Spaces are limited, booking in advance is recommended: https://www.ur-unique.co.uk/gr

I’d love to see you there. 💜

One size doesn’t fit all…..

One of the biggest myths about therapy is that everyone receives the same support.

The reality is quite different.

Even when two people come with the same challenge, their experiences, beliefs, coping strategies and goals can be completely different.

That’s why effective therapy isn’t about following a script.

It’s about understanding the person in front of you and adapting the support to meet their unique needs.

The right support isn’t about fitting into a box.

It’s about finding an approach that fits you.
