LAC Counselling Hi, I'm Lisa and I am a qualified counsellor (MBACP). I have been in practice for over 10 years supporting people through difficult times.

I offer in person and online sessions. Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I recognise that starting counselling can be challenging however it can also provide opportunities for personal development and a better understanding of our current situation. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is extremely important, and is the foundation of all the work we do together. The relationship is built on respect, honesty and the use of empathy. Working in a person-centred way I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where together we can explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. I undertake regular training and supervision which enables me to draw upon techniques from other approaches specifically the use of CBT skills. Starting counselling is an important decision. Please feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange an assessment meeting appointment. Based in the Leeds/Wakefield area I am available to work with you on a face to face basis or using online media. Sessions are charged at a rate of £45 per 55 minutes

January can be a tough time of year to navigate.

Society is telling us we need to increase the pace and go up a gear, whereas biologically the body’s reaction to the darker colder months is prompting us to want to slow down. Mood regulating serotonin drops, the “sleep hormone” melatonin increases and the result is mood shifts and reduced energy.

Instead of fighting this process, allow yourself to slow down if you feel the need. Show yourself some compassion and understanding when feeling tired and lethargic because what you are experiencing is a normal reaction to the change in day light and the aftermath of the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Several years ago, a valued friend and colleague of mine described January as the perfect time for reflection and I agree with his sentiments. Every year I remember his words and I follow his ritual of powerful reflective practice:
- What was important to me last year?
- What did I learn?
- What do I want to take forward into the new year?
- What do I want to leave behind?

Instead of diving into unrealistic and unsustainable new years resolutions, take time out to reflect, set yourself smaller, realistic goals and show yourself some understanding if you want to slow down in January and just “get through it”. Your experience is normal and perfectly OK.

Compassion literally means 'suffering with'. And it's counterintuitive to feel pain when we don't need to – when it's someone else's pain. So experiencing compassion from someone is tragically rare, and yet profoundly healing: https://www.carolynspring.com/books/

Will you get chance to take a walk in nature over the Christmas break?

Christmas is considered to be a wonderful time of year however it can be challenging for some. Christmas can affect our mental health in many different ways, therefore it’s important to take care of ourselves over the festive period.
You may find these tips helpful:

Plan ahead. If you know that certain aspects of Christmas are going to be challenging, look at putting some coping strategies in place

Prioritise self-care including maintaining your normal exercise routines, eating well and sticking to your normal sleeping pattern

Manage stress by trying to continue with your usual hobbies and activities which you love, during the festive period

If you’re struggling, talk to someone you trust about your feelings

Ask for help if you’re feeling overwhelmed

Keep in touch with friends and family

If there’s something you really don’t want to do, ask yourself “do I really need to do this?”

Take time out for yourself if you need it

Be kind to yourself – don’t feel under pressure to do more than you want to

Give yourself something to look forward to by planning something nice for after Christmas
