Boundaries do not mean 'me first'. It means 'me too'.

Do you experience being empathic or compassionate but find it exhausting, stressful, frustrating or upsetting ........ Or all of these?

Empathy without boundaries undermines our wellbeing and relationships.

Maybe this is how you or someone you know.

We often normalise 'surviving', but we can thrive, feel strong, supported and supportive as we live through our own and others' stresses and challenges with empathy.

Often we don't understand our own needs, having put what others want over our needs for so long.

Only when we are aware of our needs, and accept them as valid, can we understand what boundaries are needed, how to set then, how to express them and how to maintain them ........ Helping us to be a healthy, empathic human ❤️

Boundaries do not mean 'me first'. It means 'me too'.
It does not mean 'I don't care for you'. It means 'my wellbeing is as important as yours'.

This is just one of the many areas that counselling can support you with.

Maputo Counselling is a registered company in Mozambique.

I work with people living abroad and those who have worked or studied abroad and have now returned 'home'.

I support individuals from 15 years old to adult to navigate the psychological, social and emotional complexities of the challenges that can be part of these life experiences.

My experience as someone who has worked, parented, 'empty-nested' and 'daughtered' for more than 30 years overseas has shaped the way I support you.

DM me if you would like to know more about counselling.

These simplifications can make mental health issues appear trivial, and sometimes even “trendy,” which risks minimizing our lived experiences.

It's easier to recognise when we need help when we understand ourselves better.

Pop psychology can confuse, minimise or distract us from what has become problematic for us.

Or it can exaggerate daily issues so that, when we are really struggling, it becomes difficult to recognise this and communicate it to get the support we need.

We don’t always have to fight.
We don’t always have to fix.
We don’t even have to explain or justify.

✨ Sometimes the most powerful move is to step away.
