Before You Continue: A Note on This Blog’s Content
I enjoy writing and sharing insights that encourage self-awareness, growth, and emotional well-being. However, it’s important to acknowledge that blog content, no matter how thoughtful, is not the same as professional mental health support.
This blog is for informational and entertainment purposes only. While I am a qualified and accredited counsellor, any insights shared here are general in nature and not a substitute for professional therapy, mental health diagnosis, or medical care. Mental health is deeply personal, and what works for one person may not be right for another.
If you are struggling with your mental health, I encourage you to seek support from a qualified professional who can provide personalised care.
If you are in distress or experiencing a crisis, please reach out to one of the services listed below. You are not alone, and help is available.
