Let's chat about what it means to "talk to someone"..

What first came to mind when you read "talk to someone"?
Some responses we've heard are; serious, dry, boring, time-wasting, unhelpful, stressful, expensive, they're just worried about me for no reason.
It's true, there is more conversation, training and events promoting mental health support but there is still a stigma around "talking to someone".
Does it mean that we aren't coping? Does it mean that there is something wrong or that we are weak? Does it mean being vulnerable? Does it mean that we are carrying emotional pain with us?
We challenge stigma. For us, it means that we are proactively nurturing, strengthening and caring for our emotional and physical health, our sense of self and, our relationships.
It means we are human, we feel, we learn, we grow and become more aware of our strengths, our challenges and our vulnerabilities.
There is nothing weak, broken or, wrong with us, although sometimes it can feel that way because there is a part of us hurting or, maybe even hiding. Talking to us means not being alone.
Real talk, things you need to know...
01.
Yes, there is an expense - your mental health is worth it! You can make an informed decision about what's right for & can ask any questions. All the T&C's will be emailed to you before the first session.
02.
Yes, it can be time-consuming (to start with, not always).
If you haven't had a good experience in the past, we hope you'll give us a chance.
03.
Sessions are your time and guided by you.
Emma likes to bring curiosity and fun to sessions where possible so they don't feel boring or, like a lecture.
04.
Emma aims to hold a space for genuine and heartfelt moments.
Sometimes they might be tearful or quiet, sometimes a little more fiery, other times embracing joy and sharing a laugh.
05.
Feel like sharing some feedback?
If something's not working for you, we'll do our best to switch things up and find a solution that fits you better.
