That’s right….it’s said that the 3rd Monday in January is better known as ‘Blue Monday’
Pretty depressing right?
But, it doesn’t have to be!
True, January can feel like an abrupt end to the lively December bustle full of sparkles and social events, and sometimes we can so desperately try and hold onto this excitement. But the trick with January is simply not to fight it.
We must find the joy within it.
We can’t change the cold weather or the long dark nights, but what we can change is our attitude towards this month we seem to dread so much.
Instead we should be seeing it as an opportunity to revel in its quiet beauty.
Relish in the solitude that January brings, enjoy being free from social engagements, and appreciate the true charm of nature throughout these wintry months.
Glistening landscapes, pure white horizons and frosty trees at the crack of dawn. It really can be a beautiful time if we choose to seek out the positives.
Winter is a time for comfort, good food and warmth.
Take time to reflect on the past 12 months, what went right and what went wrong? Think about the year ahead and build genuine intentions.
We must mirror nature, hibernate and nourish, ready to burst into Spring with vibrancy and spirit.

My son is opening up to Wayne about all aspects of losing his Dad - happy memories and the painful truth that he won’t be coming back. Wayne has taught him to acknowledge the pain but also remember the many happy times. The counselling he has had with Wayne has been invaluable.

Coming in for couples counselling, we were both nervous about how the session would work having not done anything like this before.
He listened to each of us and made it feel very light-hearted and easy. We were able to share our feelings and thoughts and Ian gently guided us to explain our views to help us see each other’s views and gave us things to think about for next week.

Personally, I was a very sceptical individual and initially attended as a good Will gesture to my family who had encouraged me to do so……. that being said I found myself to be able to talk to (let’s be honest, a stranger) about my life and its difficulties in an open and comfortable fashion……. don’t get me wrong I’m no soft touch! But I found it genuinely comforting to be able to do so! …. it makes me ask and look for answers from myself ….. rather than someone with a title telling me what’s wrong……,

The match of counsellor has meant my husband looks forward to his sessions & already is feeling happier & we as a family are seeing a difference. It is detail like this that makes asking for help via the NW Counselling Hub stand out – plus the reassurance all counsellors are qualified.
We cannot recommend the NW Counselling Hub enough and thank them for all they are doing for our family.
