I'm slowing things down over the summer and won't be available again till Monday 25/08. Feel free to email me on [email protected] and I'll respond when I am able, although will be slower than normal.

Did you know I'm finally on the BACP! No you can read my bio to decide whether you want to explore counselling with me, or pass it on to a friend. www.bacp.co.uk/therapists/4... #personcented #southampton #counselling #hampshire #BACP #therapy

Why do we drink? a question to kick off @alcoholchangeuk.bsky.social campaign of Alcohol Awareness Week. Counselling can be a space to explore all of the aspects of your life, looking at why you or someone that's important to you feels calmer or needs alcohol. #AlcoholAwarenessWeek #counselling

After a break from writing, my latest blog goes over the important area of trauma, how it affects the body and mind and how generations of pain builds up. The story doesn't end there, by thinking about it you're starting that process of moving on. www.south-city-healing.com/post/trauma-...

Before my next blog post drops, I'm bringing back the OG, the question of resilience. It's something of a buzzword in psychology, but when we start thinking about resilience as a product of self-awareness, we can avoid judgement. Read here: 👉 www.south-city-healing.com/post/how-do-... #counselling

It's PTSD awareness week this week, so here's a quote from Gabor Mate which hits me. Our experience shapes us; understanding it's impact gives us power. Having a safe space to explore means we can know ourselves better. #trauma #addiction #southampton #counselling #hampshire #personcentred

Loneliness is an inevitability in a country as overworked, as stressed and as split into small individual units such as ours. (1/2)

June is pride month and I want to give love, solidarity and understanding to all those who are struggling to understand who they are, to all those who have made peace and are living a life of joy, and to those those who know themselves but are facing barriers in family and work. #pride #southampton

Did you know May is National Walking Month? If there is one thing I'm a big advocate of here at SCH, it's walking. Taking time for a 20 minute walk (10 mins one way then 10 back) can give you the time to reflect and relax. How often do you get a chance to shut down? #walkout #mentalhealth

It's mental health awareness week! Check out the Mental Health Foundation and their ten tips to improve your health, look after yourself, but also look out for each other. #metalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealawareness #counselling #southampton

The Spring time sun has come out this month. I hope you enjoy it, it reminds me of one of my favourite Carl Rogers quotes. He was both a big influence on me and my counselling style.

Yesterday was International Women's Day, it's an important time to reflect on how women have shaped our lives; how the feminine side we all possess can be embraced as we build a world which respects everyone; and the difficulties and violence women continue to face in the UK and globally.

As a reflection on Self injury awareness day that took place this weekend gone- It's always important to do the things that give you joy and a sense of control in your life. #selfharm #selfinjury #personalpower #personcentred #counselling

Hi! I'm Jon. I am a counsellor in Southampton, I've worked in homelessness, in youth work and in schools. Having my own personal experiences with depression & neurodivergence I know what it's like to struggle with these things, looking for answers and not feeling understood by others.

My new monthly blog post "When the penny drops..." explores what it means to be a non-directive counsellor, how I use it and why I think it's one of the most important parts of the therapy process. Read here: www.south-city-healing.com/post/when-th... #nondirective #personcentred #psychologyblog

All counsellors are different, for me the most important thing is a space for you to go at your pace and come to your answers. That is more useful for personal growth than me telling you what I think. #selfcare #personcentred #counselling #mentalhealth #southampton #hampshire

Understanding ourselves can be hard and takes time. But I believe the therapy room is a space to have peace and give yourself time. I'm here to help that along. If you've been thinking about it just give me a message. #personcentred #counselling #southampton #hampshire #mentalhealth

Whether words alone can't articulate your feelings or experiences- or you just think doodling while we talk will help to get the words out- I have art supplies available to use in session. #southampton #personcentredcounselling #hampshire #arttherapy #expressivearts #counselling

A judgement-free zone is not impossible, but it isn't easy to get across the world and society. Counselling is that kind of place. I believe in the importance of a judgement-free, respectful space to get better. #southampton #counselling #hampshire #mentalhealth #selfcare #personcentred

It's been a little slow in the blog factory but here's a throwback to my first blog from the start of December www.south-city-healing.com/post/how-do-...

It's a new year, new you, right? Know that when we sit in the counselling room together and talk, I am listening and I accept you for who you are. When we're in a safe space, we can be surprised at what we see when we look. #mentalhealth #newyearnewyou #southampton #hampshire #counselling

Wishing you all a merry Christmas. Look after yourselves and you'll have the strength to look after each other!

Winter and Christmas can be the most difficult: Short days, the emphasis of family and connections and reflecting on the year. You are not a failure, you need a space to be heard and be yourself. #mentalhealth #counsellingservices #southampton #hampshire #personcentredcounselling #christmastime

The core conditions of counselling, empathy, congruence (genuineness) and unconditional positive regard have always been my foundation and guiding light in counselling. Growth requires patience and listening. #southampton #mentalhealth #counselling #hampshire #personcentredcounselling

My first blog has just dropped. In this blog I unpack and challenge resilience, how it risks framing the world's problems as individual shortcomings. A new blog 1st of every month. #counselling #emotionalresilience #emotionalhealth #psychology www.south-city-healing.com/post/how-do-...

It can be hard to open up, we might feel afraid of what a counsellor is thinking or whether they're trying to "get" something out of you or to change you. All counsellors are different- but counselling to me is about a space to explore our thoughts free from judgement.

"The removal of the two-child benefit cap is long overdue." Our President, Dr Roman Raczka, responds to today's #Budget2025: “This will go a long way to helping hundreds of thousands of families to get the support they so desperately need." A thread 🧵1/3

I’m seeing a lot of messages around being positive, being ‘resilient’… maybe it’s ok to feel your feelings, and just be with that? #personcentredtherapy #personcentredcounselling #justbe louiwhitecounselling.com

Counselling is a challenging process. We go into parts of ourselves we never expected to see, we know ourselves in a way we never expected to know. If you feel ready/want to know more about it email me to book a free 15 minute consultation. #southampton #personcentredtherapy #hampshire #counselling
