Talking Therapy with Diane Jones

Talking Therapy with Diane Jones I blend Integrative Counselling with energy work to support adults, online or in person sessions.

Sometimes support is needed through life’s difficult chapters, through loss, past trauma, health issues or confidence to find yourself again 🦋

For whoever needs this little reminder as we head into the weekend…
🪷You don’t have to spend every minute being productive
🪷You don’t have to catch up on everything you didn’t get done this week
🪷And you certainly don’t have to feel guilty for taking some time for yourself

🌸Maybe this weekend is for getting things done
🌸Maybe it’s for seeing people you love
🌸Or maybe it’s simply for slowing down and enjoying the little things

Whatever your weekend looks like, I hope you find a little time to breathe, and do something that makes YOU happy.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for hanging out here with me and inviting your friends to this space too 🤍🙏🦋

I have noticed a pattern in client work recently and this also happened to me for a while during menopause, where we become focused on….
What we think we are NOT good at
What we SHOULD be doing differently
Or how we compare to others
But then we then miss noticing what we actually bring to the world

But actually - how do we measure our value in the world…..
🌍 Success
🌍 What we achieve
🌍 What we do for others
🌍 If we feel like we have it all together

But I think our value can also be….
🌸The way you make someone laugh
🌸The way you listen
🌸Kindness you show
🌸Things you’ve learnt
🌸The way you care
🌸The little things you do that you might not even realise matter to someone else

So if you are feeling a little lost right now, know that you don’t have to become someone else to be valuable.
There is already something uniquely yours that you bring into this world.

Sometimes we just need a little help to see it again🦋

I used to dislike this time of year but couldn’t remember why, and then I happened to stumble across this old photo from way back to those years as a single mum.

I remembered how much I loved having the kids at home for the school holidays, with more relaxed days together and no clubs or early mornings.
But then the first days of September, when that panic crept in came flooding back to me…..

School uniforms
School shoes
New routines and classrooms
Money
Trying to make sure everyone was where they needed to be AND on time!

It was such a mixture of emotions because I was sad the holidays were coming to an end, and yet knew getting back into a routine would make life a little easier.

🦋So you might be a parent feeling overwhelmed at the thought of getting everyone back into a routine
🦋Or one that’s feeling sad that the holidays are ending
🦋Actually you may be buzzing and cannot wait to wave them off at the school gates

Know that whatever you are feeling right now is ok and perfectly normal.
I think we can love being a mum while still finding some parts of it hard and wanting a bit of peace back

This old photo reminded me of a younger me who was doing her best with what she had at the time.
And I think she did ok 🤍

I came across this gorgeous arch while we were away at the weekend and walking through it led to the most unexpected green space, with six apple trees absolutely full of apples. 🍎

And it made me think about something I see so often with clients…
How we can carry SO much around in our heads.
🌱Things that have happened.
🌱Things we wish we had said.
🌱Things we need to remember.
🌱Things we are worried about.
🌱Conversations we keep going over.
🌱Things we haven’t quite worked out yet.

Sometimes I have found that just writing things down can help.
You don’t need to know exactly what you are feeling and it doesn’t even need to make sense of it.
Just get some of what’s whirling around in your head onto paper.

It can be surprisingly freeing when your thoughts don’t all have to live inside your head at once 🦋

Which cup are you today?
Let’s have a little check together on this bank holiday Monday

After a beautiful weekend that has been full of birthdays, fun, walks and lots of food….. I am most definitely a number 9 today, and I am hoping this feeling will last all week 🙏

There isn’t a right or wrong way to feel so what cup are you tuning into?

Put the number in the comments if you would like to join in. No explanations needed (unless you want to share!).

Wherever you are today, I hope you can find joy and love around you 🤍🦋

Tough 8 mile walk yesterday in the rain but there is just something, for me, about finding a river that makes me stop for a while to take it in🦆

The sound of the water, the movement, the feeling of just being there, it brings such a sense of calm.

And yes… I always have to film it for some reason 😂
Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this 🦋

I love a book recommendation and this one was highly recommended to me by a friend and just arrived.
I am looking forward to reading her story of survival and strength but also the powerful message behind the title.

I’ve discovered over the years that sometimes the things we carry as shame were never ours to carry in the first place 🦋

Have any of you read this ?

“Nan, I can sell these for you!” 🍅😍

At my birthday picnic, my grandson Mace was completely blown away by how many tomatoes I had grown.
He looked at them and confidently announced:
“Nan, I can sell these for you.”

Well… who was I to stand in the way of such an entrepreneurial spirit? 🙌
So he went home with three bags of tomatoes:-
“Sell them and you can keep the money you make, Mace.”

And that’s exactly what he did……

He sat outside his house, didn’t give up and waved this sign, for an HOUR AND A HALF. He was absolutely delighted when he made £7. 🍅💷
And now?
He wants to come back and pick some more!

Honestly, I absolutely love his confidence, his determination and the fact that he just saw an opportunity and went for it ❤️

There is so much more about these kids of today than is often reported through the media ✨✨✨✨

There was a time when I used to shy away from my own birthday. Which is strange as I’ve always loved celebrating other peoples birthdays, and making sure they feel special, but my own birthday I found the attention quite difficult.

Today, I’m 61 🎉
And I can honestly say I am proud to be here.
Proud of the woman I’ve become.
Proud of the challenges I’ve faced and overcome.
And proud that I no longer feel the need to hide away from celebrating myself.

Getting older now feels like a privilege to me and I’ve got lots of lovely plans for the next couple of days 🤍
So I’m grateful for the years behind me, for the people beside me, and I am curious about everything that is still to come🦋

This was one of the singers I was brought up listening to and know the words to so many of her songs 💖

So it’s sad news for me that this lady has gone……
but let’s take a minute to remember all her great songs 🙏
