How many times have you thought about going to therapy, only to talk yourself out of it?

Maybe you wouldn’t know what to say. Maybe you feel other people have it worse, or that you should be able to sort things out yourself.

These are thoughts I hear quite often, and they’re understandable.

For many people, the hardest part of therapy isn’t actually talking. It’s making that first appointment.

There’s often a worry about opening up to someone you don’t know, being judged, or bringing up things you’ve spent years trying not to think about.

But therapy isn’t about being told what to do, and you don’t have to arrive with your whole life story prepared.

We can start wherever you feel comfortable, even if that’s simply talking about why you’ve been putting it off.

If you’ve been thinking about therapy for a while, you’re very welcome to get in touch for a chat.

Some things are scarier than Halloween!

For many of us in Ireland, saying we’re not grand, turning down an invitation or admitting we need a bit of help can be surprisingly difficult.

We’re often quick to say “Ah sure, I’ll be grand” rather than tell someone how we’re really feeling.

But there’s nothing wrong with needing a day off, setting boundaries or admitting that things aren’t going as well as we’d like.

And as for the hot chicken fillet rolls… we’ll leave that one up for debate! 😂

On a more serious note, asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do, but it can also be an important first step.

🎃 Which one would you find the scariest?

You could be 50 years old, have a family of your own, a good job and be well able to stand up for yourself.

But one comment from your mother and suddenly you’re 15 again! 😅

It’s funny how that happens, isn’t it?

Sometimes it’s not even what was said that bothers us. It’s the fact that we’ve heard it a hundred times before.

The little remarks, the comparisons, the feeling that you’re still being treated like a child, even though you’ve been an adult for decades.

And you might find yourself driving home afterwards, still thinking about something that was said over a cup of tea.

Our family relationships can have a lasting influence on us, and sometimes we carry those old patterns into adulthood without even realising it.

Understanding where those reactions come from can help us look at things differently. It’s also something we can explore through counselling.

Have a read through the slides and see if any of it sounds familiar.

Swipe before making a decision 😊➡️

A little bit of humour for a Friday!

On a more serious note, choosing a therapist is a very personal decision, and finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is important.

If you’ve been thinking about counselling and would like to find out a bit more about how I work, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

Thinking about counselling but keep putting off making that first appointment?

Sometimes it’s the little things that hold us back. Not knowing where to go, what to expect, or even who you’ll be talking to.

So, here’s a little introduction to where you’ll find me. 📍

I’m Stephen Kinsella, and my practice, Balance Within Therapy, is based in Knockcommon, Beauparc, Co. Meath, in a quiet, private setting just outside Drogheda.

I offer a confidential, welcoming space where you can come in, sit down and talk things through at your own pace. There’s no pressure to know what to say or where to start.

Appointments are available in person and online.

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day.

You might find something in these slides that you needed to hear yourself. Or something you’d like someone close to you to hear.

We can be very understanding when someone else is having a hard time, then turn around and tell ourselves we should be handling things better.

Try to give yourself a bit of that same understanding.

And if one of these reminds you of someone, send it on. It might be a way to start a conversation.

The name Balance Within came from my own journey.

Like plenty of people before me, I came to realise that having more money wasn’t necessarily going to make me happier.

For me, it was about finding a bit of balance in life. Having good people around me who helped keep me steady, and making time for things that do me good.

Getting outside is part of that. A walk, a hike, a bit of time in nature. It does me the world of good.

That’s where the name came from.

What helps me find balance won’t be the same for everyone. In my work, I give people space to look at their own lives. What matters to them, what’s taking too much out of them, and what they need a bit more of.
