PSA Incoming: I'm so sick of therapy only being considered for mental health challenges

I'm here for a PSA because I'm really sick of therapy being associated only with mental health issues.

You do not have to have a mental health illness to access counselling.

You do not have to leave it until it's so bad you "better go to counselling."

You do not have to be in distress before you access counselling.

Just like a business owner often has a business coach, you have two options; Flounder around in shame and secrecy and try to figure it out for yourself with 10938450934 million 90 reels from Instagram and fragments of mismatched information.

OR get right in front of an epic therapist who will confidently guide you.

Just as a reminder: social media, podcasts, YouTube, books and your BFF's daily motivational WhatsApp messages are NOT therapy.

The better way of thinking about counselling is as a proactive and preventive way to protect your mental health.

When you have a long-term personal therapist, you're going to build a beautiful relationship with a wise woman who uses contemporary approaches and it's going to keep you well.

It's a method or pathway to start thriving and grooving in life and finally doing what you want. When you listen to yourself in all the busyness of life, the path will become clear.

Having a regular personal therapist is a gift you give to yourself.

This gift is your invitation to make the best of your one precious life.

It's a gift to make the best of your inner world and to help you make sense of yourself.

It's an opportunity to have the best life possible and thrive in this weird and wonderful world.

So I really, really want you to hear that PSA.

Particularly if you're considering working with me because I do things a little differently.

I am not your crisis management plan.

I tend not to work with mental health diagnoses at all.

I work with women with busy minds, big hearts, and big emotions. sensitive little antennae and intricate Inner Worlds.

What that means is that usually you have a very successful life with beautiful, friends and family.

Meaningful work, study or career is important to you and you're on your way there.

But perhaps even though it looks all wonderful on the outside, on the inside, it feels a little hectic. It's hard at times to be you.

People might not even know that you have so many thoughts, emotions, reactions, triggers and questions inside you.

In your mind and heart, it can be a little challenging, twisty, icky.

It can feel a little overwhelming.

You get a little confused.

It can feel like you get stuck in indecision, frozen at times, or split into two.

You often have a hard time putting yourself first saying no and curating a life that works specifically for you, rather than taking care of everybody else.

My wish is for you to take care of yourself first.

So I'd love to invite you to work with me or my team to have bespoke counselling in a holistic, non-clinical way.

We hate boring, outdated therapy that only scratched the surface.

We hate therapy that sees you as a one-dimensional human and doesn't get how brilliant and resilient you are.

We hate clinical practices with bright overhead lights, hectic receptionists and zero privacy.

We're really interested in your unique story.

We want to know all of your inner parts, your inner conflicts and all the pieces of the puzzle.

And together we collaboratively create a unique path for you to move forward.

No pre-prescriptive templates, no handouts that have been given to 4000 other clients and no cookie-cutter strategies we learnt from a textbook.

Every thought, emotion and trigger that's talking to you has valuable information, needs, desires and fears, and we're curious about all of that.

Your Inner world will have all my focus and be tended to.

You will feel like my only client.

You're going to start to thrive from the inside out.

You don't have to ride those emotional waves or circle those thought loops on your own anymore.

We'll find a way out, together, and work towards the 'warm sunlight on your face' feeling.

Thank you for coming to my PSA!
