Counselling at Your Own Pace
Many people worry they’re “doing counselling wrong” - speaking too much, too little, too quickly, or struggling to find the words. This post explores what it means to work at your own pace in counselling, and why good therapy makes space for silence, uncertainty, and gradual understanding.
On Feeling Safe in Counselling
Reaching out for counselling often comes at a moment when nothing else seems to be helping, and the idea of opening up can feel overwhelming. That’s why safety matters so much. Good therapy offers a relationship where all parts of you are welcome, even the ones you’ve learned to hide. As that sense of safety grows, so does your ability to be gentle with yourself, to stay with what feels difficult, and to begin to see yourself with more compassion.
