Finding the right therapist can feel a little like finding the right pair of shoes: what works perfectly for one person might not feel comfortable for someone else. The therapeutic relationship is an important part of the counselling process. You don't necessarily need to feel completely comfortable from your very first session, as opening up can take time, and therapy can sometimes feel challenging. But over time, you should feel that you are being listened to, respected and supported.

Not connecting with one therapist doesn't mean therapy isn't for you.

At The Wellbeing Therapy Hut, we begin with an assessment to help us understand your needs and allocate you to the counsellor who may be the most suitable fit for you 💚

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is… stop. You don't have to keep pushing through when you're tired. You don't have to earn rest by reaching the end of your to-do list. And taking a break doesn't mean you're lazy, unmotivated or falling behind. Your mind and body need pauses too. So if you need a little time to breathe, switch off, sit quietly, go for a walk, watch something comforting or simply do absolutely nothing…

Let yourself.

Rest isn't a reward. It's part of looking after yourself.

What is psychodynamic therapy? 🧠💭 Psychodynamic therapy explores how our past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns can influence the way we think, feel and behave today.

It can help you explore not just what you're experiencing, but why you might be experiencing it. Together with your therapist, you might look at patterns in your relationships, recurring thoughts or feelings, experiences from your past, and emotions that can sometimes be difficult to understand.

The aim isn't to blame the past or dwell on it. Instead, developing a deeper understanding of yourself can help you make sense of the present and create new ways of responding. Every person is different, and therapy is tailored to your individual experiences and needs.

Sometimes understanding where our patterns come from is the first step towards changing them.

🎒 Back to school can bring BIG feelings, and not just for children starting school for the first time. A new class, new teacher, new routines, friendship worries or simply adjusting after the summer break can all feel overwhelming. And sometimes, that overwhelm doesn't look like anxiety. It might look like tears, irritability, clinginess, tummy aches, difficulty sleeping or more frequent meltdowns.

As parents, it can be tempting to quickly reassure: “You'll be fine!” But sometimes, what children need most is for us to acknowledge how they're feeling.

✨ Make space for their feelings
✨ Keep routines predictable where possible
✨ Allow plenty of downtime after school
✨ Focus on small steps rather than expecting them to settle immediately
✨ Avoid comparisons with other children
✨ Connection often comes before conversation

Starting something new is a big milestone. Your child doesn't need to navigate it perfectly, they just need to know you're there to support them 💛 If your child is struggling with anxiety or overwhelm around school, our latest blog post explores ways you can support them through the transition.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all connected. 🧠💭 Sometimes, unhelpful thought patterns can affect how we feel and what we do. CBT can help you recognise these patterns, understand them and develop more helpful ways of responding.

It’s a practical, collaborative approach that often focuses on what’s happening in the here and now, giving you tools and strategies that you can use beyond the therapy room.

If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to know which approach is right for you; that’s something you can explore with your counsellor.

What does person-centred therapy actually mean? 💚 At its heart, it means that you are at the centre of the therapeutic process. Your therapist isn't there to judge you or tell you what to do. Instead, they provide a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

Because sometimes, having someone truly listen can be the first step towards understanding yourself a little better.

Sometimes, the news can feel like a lot, especially recently with some triggering stories involving celebrities appearing constantly across our feeds. Even when we don't know the people involved personally, upsetting stories can still affect us. They can bring up memories, worries or emotions that we weren't expecting.

It’s okay to step away 🤍

Try:
🌿 Put your phone down for 20–30 minutes and do something grounding: make a cup of tea, take a walk or sit somewhere quiet.

🫶 Use your senses: notice 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell and 1 you can taste.

📵 Mute or unfollow accounts if their content is leaving you feeling overwhelmed. Protecting your peace isn't being uninformed, it's looking after yourself.

Take the break. Breathe. Come back when you feel ready. 💚

✨ We're absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news...

The Wellbeing Therapy Hut has been named a FINALIST in the UK Small Business Awards 2026 for Best Community Contribution! 🏆

When I started The Wellbeing Therapy Hut, I had one simple goal: to make mental health support accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Today, we've supported thousands of people across Surrey and beyond, built an incredible team of passionate therapists, created affordable counselling from just £20 a session, delivered workshops in schools and the community, and worked tirelessly to break down the stigma surrounding mental health.

To now be recognised nationally for the impact we're making is something I honestly never imagined.

This nomination isn't just for me. It's for every member of our amazing team, every client who has trusted us with their story, every school, GP, charity and organisation we've worked alongside, and everyone who has supported our mission over the years.

As a small independent business, moments like this mean everything. They remind us that compassion, community and accessibility really do make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in us. ❤️

Here's to the awards... and to continuing to make mental health support accessible for everyone.

Pressure to make memories.
Pressure to say yes to every invitation.
Pressure to keep the children entertained.
Pressure to enjoy every sunny day.
Pressure to be out living your "best life."

The reality? Summer can be wonderful, but it can also be overwhelming.

For parents and caregivers, the school holidays can mean juggling work, childcare and endless activities. For others, it might be disrupted routines, financial worries, loneliness, grief, or simply feeling exhausted while everyone else seems to be having the perfect summer.

Here's your reminder: you don't have to earn your rest, and your summer doesn't have to look like anyone else's. 💚

If feelings of overwhelm, anxiety or stress are becoming difficult to manage, we're here to help. Our assessment process helps us understand your needs and match you with the counsellor who is the best fit for you.

Starting therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown, and for many people, it's the uncertainty that feels most daunting.

💭 What if I don't know what to say?
💭 Will I be expected to share everything straight away?
💭 What actually happens in that first session?

The truth is, there is no pressure to have all the answers. Your first appointment is about getting to know you, understanding what's brought you to therapy, and helping you feel comfortable. You can go at your own pace, and there's no "right" or "wrong" way to do therapy.

At The Wellbeing Therapy Hut, your journey begins with an assessment. This gives us the opportunity to understand your needs and carefully match you with the counsellor who is best suited to support you.

📖 Read our latest blog to learn more about what happens in a first therapy session.

If you're ready to begin your journey, get in touch to book an assessment – we'd love to help you find the right support.
