No. 10 in our series of things to consider when choosing a therapist is all about it feeling right.
Sometimes doing inner work can be difficult and uncomfortable before you start to feel better, but throughout your journey with a therapist you should always feel safe, respected and supported. If you have an idea of what that looks like for you, you can always share this with your potential therapist to ensure they can meet your needs.
QCH Therapists are trained to work at a pace that meets the needs of who they are supporting. And because QCH is about creating lasting change, your therapist will prioritise that over fast results that fade over time.
Therapy is a partnership, and with the right rapport, amazing changes are possible.
We hope you've found this series helpful. If so, give this a ❤️ and we'll work on a myth-busting series next.

No. 9 in our series of things to consider when choosing a therapist is about cultural sensitivity.
While a therapist does not need to have experience of your background or culture to do a good job, they should be respectful of it and how it might impact how you view the world.
If this is important to you, it is something to discuss in your initial consultation so you can feel comfortable before your sessions begin.

Which of these would you choose as your theme for 2025? Or perhaps there's a different theme you'd go for not on this image?
Having a theme for your year gives you focus and something to continually pin your actions to as the year goes on. It provides endless opportunity to nudge yourself towards the kind of year you'd like to be having, rather than a short-term resolution that may or may not be broken by the end of January.
Between now and NYE, reflect on this and set your intentions for the year ahead with a 2025 theme.
Gemma, QCH Social Media Manager writing this post, is going for Balance. Do you know your theme yet? If so, we'd love to know in the comments.

🎄 If we're not intentional with our choices and actions, it's easy to get swept up in what doesn't truly matter to us at Christmas.
These are a few ideas to consider if you want to look after yourself this festive time and enable you to come out the other side feeling as good as possible. Perhaps there are others you'd add to the list too now you're thinking about it?
It's your Christmas, after all. Forget what the films and social media make you think matters. Do what lights you up and makes it a positive time for you and yours ✨️

So important to do these things.
21st December is National Robin Day, a day of awareness when we can learn all about how to help robins and other small birds survive the winter.
Carrie Setford, has written a lovely article reflecting on this.
