Slightly different post from me. I am trying to set up a uksobs support group in Warrington however we need more volunteers to facilitate the group. I would welcome as many shares as possible, thank you. If you are interested in volunteering here is the link - http://bttr.im/yqjay
Proud to be part of uksobs, looking for more volunteers to set up a local group đ⤠#sobs @sobscharity #cheshire #warrington #volunteer #bereavement #grief #support #loss
Sometimes we all need a helping hand through an unknown or tricky path. It is a little less daunting & overwhelming when you have someone by your side to help guide you through. đ #youmatter #yournotalone #therapeuticrelationship #creativeconnections #therapy #therapistofinstagram #counselling #yourjourney #anxiety #depression #selfcareisntselfish #selfcompassion #selfworth #trust #trauma #healthyboundaries #heal #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

The world around us can be so harsh and difficult to be in daily. Especially if you have heightened sensitivity to simulation of the senses which can lead to feeling overwhelmed in most situations. I may not be hypersensitive but I do find some enviroments really help to clear my mind and help me recharge. Do you have a favourite space? I have included a few of mine. #environment #space #calmness #innerpeace #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #depression #youmatter #therapistofinstagram #therapy #safe #growth #grounding #trauma #trust #counselling
Sometimes you just have to listen to yourself. Your gut instinct knows đ§Ą #katiewoodstherapy #changes #growth #gutinstinct #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #therapy #therapistofinstagram #therapeuticrelationship #anxiety #depression #youmatter #selfcompassion #counselling
I really like this and thought how true, as a therapist I will be alongside you as we work together. #katiewoodstherapy #therapistofinstagram #therapeuticrelationship #counselling #connection #anxiety #depression #trust #trauma #youmatter #selfcareisntselfish #selfcompassion #selfworth #selflove #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

This really resonated with myself and for clients. Not being acknowledged and validated left me questioning did it really happen, am I just making it up, it's not important or a big deal, I just need to push it down and get on with it but yet I had flashbacks and my body remembers through triggers & pain. Receiving compassion in a safe environment is key for healing. #katiewoodstherapy #selfcareisntselfish #selfcompassion #trauma #trust #therapistofinstagram #gabormatĂŠ #mentalhealth #youmatter #bekind #anxiety #depression #loss #grief #compassion #complextrauma #safe #counselling

Your feelings are valid, you are allowed to enforce your boundaries, you do not need anyone else's approval; trust your gut, you've got this & you are enough. #katiewoodstherapy #therapeutic #selfcompassion #selfworth #selflove #selfcareisntselfish #youmatter #youareenough #youarenotalone #anxiety #depression #lowselfesteem #together #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #counselling #safespace #trust #trusttheprocess #therapist #therapistofinstagram
I was looking at myths around su***de. There has been quite a bit of coverage recently on tv with documentaries. This myth is from @samaritanscharity . Reading through them this one really resonated with me, I have been on both sides of su***de plus I work with suidical ideation with clients. It is one area I feel very passionate about. I wanted to share this myth with you because actually Fact - The majority of people who feel suicidal do not actually want to die; they do not want to live the life they have. The distinction may seem small but it is very important. It's why talking through other options at the right time is so vital.
Please reach out and please don't hesitate to ask if you are concerned about someone.

This is how you would see me for an online counselling session; in a private space where no-one can hear or see you. I moved to online sessions a year ago, did further training and now I continue to offer online & limited face to face appointments.

Keeping yourself grounded in this uncertain time. See below for some things that help me incase it helps you.
⢠Take a break - for example sitting with a cuppa for 5minutes or having a break from reading the news.
⢠Connect with people - Instead of saying social distancing, what about physical distancing & social connection.
⢠Create some boundaries - it's ok to say no to recharge. Also check in with yourself with what feels good & helpful.
⢠Focus on what you can control & not what you can't.
⢠Lots of self care â¤

I am a fully qualified and compassionate Counsellor experienced in working with adults and young people. I work within private practises at Cheshire Natural Health in Stretton, Warrington and Libertas in Lymm, Warrington.
Having experienced trauma first hand when I was 14 years old, I understand the importance of having the right help and support through the difficult times and so this is where my passion lies.
Talking about painful and difficult subjects can be daunting and uncomfortable. It takes courage and strength to share this. It is my role to offer you a safe and supportive space, taking time to build trust and honesty between us.
I understand the therapeutic relationship between you and myself is key. To have someone who you are able to relate to is extremely valuable.
