      <image:title>Blog - Embracing Psychosomatic Pain</image:title>
      <image:caption>Have you ever experienced intense or prolonged physical pain/discomfort and believed that there was a physical issue, only to find that thorough medical examinations showed nothing wrong? Despite consulting various family physicians and specialists and trying different medications, the pain persists. This type of pain is referred to as psychosomatic pain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Coping with Anxiety</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anxiety is one of the most commonly cited reasons why people seek counselling. I want to write about anxiety because I know that support is needed and counselling helps. In my practice, I have seen clients who have shared how they struggled with anxiety for the first time in their life during the pandemic, or after coming out of the lockdown. I have also seen the difference counselling makes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Self-Compassion and Your Mental Health - The concept of self-compassion is not widely known or understood by the vast majority of people I have worked with in the counselling room.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I offer to clients: “Can you give yourself permission to be kinder to yourself?” I can picture the puzzled look this might bring up. Some have replied: “Yes, I know I should have more compassion for myself”. Others have asked, reluctantly, if compassion for themselves would make them self-absorbed or selfish. On reflecting, they thought self-compassion would feel uncomfortable. Unfamiliar — and somehow wrong, perhaps.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Is your heart broken after the loss of your child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss? Do you feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts while you watch your partner and family move on? Do you question your feelings or find it hard to obtain validation from those around you?</image:caption>
