Scotland at the World Cup. Tonight.

There is something truly special about the way football brings us together (...well the national team anyway πŸ˜‰) the group chats lighting up, the living rooms full of people who would never normally be awake at this hour, the strangers in pubs united by one shared hope.

So whether you're staying up to roar them on or you're very sensibly setting an alarm to check the score in the morning (no judgement, truly πŸ˜„) we're all in this together.

Come on Scotland. Let's go. πŸ’™πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

πŸ’› It's Volunteers Week - and we want to say thank you.

Behind the work we do, there are people who show up quietly, consistently, and with so much heart. Our volunteers give something that can't be bought, their time, their energy, and their genuine care for others.

In the world of mental health and counselling, that means everything.
Whether it's a kind word, a practical helping hand, or simply being present when it matters most - our volunteers make it possible for us to reach more people and do more good.
To every single one of you - thank you. What you give is seen, it is valued, and it makes a real difference to real lives. πŸ’™

If you're part of our volunteer family, we'd love for you to drop a πŸ’› in the comments, let's celebrate you this week!

β˜€οΈ Hot Weather & Your Wellbeing

As temperatures rise, it's lovely to get outdoors, enjoy the sunshine. However it's not just your body that feels the heat, your mental health can too. Extreme weather can increase feelings of irritability, low mood, anxiety, and fatigue, so it's worth taking extra care of yourself right now.

Some simple guidance:
🌊 Stay hydrated: dehydration affects your concentration, mood, and energy levels more than most people realise
🏠 Rest in cool, shaded spaces if you are struggling
😴 If you're sleeping badly due to the heat, be gentle with yourself, poor sleep has a real impact on emotional regulation
πŸ“± Check in on those around you.

An important reminder if you take antidepressants:
Many antidepressants can affect your body's ability to regulate heat.
If you feel unusually dizzy, confused, or unwell, please seek medical advice promptly.

Be kind to yourself this week. The heat is a lot, and so is everything else you're carrying. β˜€οΈ

Being told to 'think positive' when you're struggling is like being told to 'just walk it off' when you've broken your leg.

It's not that simple. And science backs that up.

Swipe to understand what's really happening when negative thoughts spiral
and what actually helps. β†’

Save this and share it with someone who's been told to 'just be positive.'

We're looking for a bit of ad-hoc IT support here at Kerith Counselling.

Specifically, we need someone who can help with the initial set-up of laptops and Microsoft systems - nothing to complex, just some practical hands-on support to get us up and running properly.

If you're based in East Kilbride or the surrounding areas and you offer this kind of service (or know someone who does), we'd love to hear from you. If not - simply sharing this post would help us out so much.

πŸ“§ Drop us an email at [email protected] with the subject line 'IT Support' and we'll be in touch.

Thanks in advance - our community always comes through for us. πŸ’™

We hear this more than anything else at Kerith.

'I didn't think I was bad enough.'
'Other people have it worse.'
'I should be able to handle this myself.'

If any of that sounds familiar, this post is for you.

She came because her GP suggested it. She almost cancelled twice.
First session: mostly silence. A few tears. Nothing 'fixed.'
By session 4 she was sleeping better.
By session 8 she said: 'I feel like myself again.'

You don't need to hit rock bottom to deserve support.
You just need to reach out.

It's and we want to change that.

Anxiety isn't just worry in your head. It's a full-body experience. Racing heart. Tight chest. Shallow breathing. Restless legs.

Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The problem? It can't tell the difference between a tiger and a deadline.

At Kerith, we help you understand what's happening in your body, and more importantly, what to do about it.

🩡🩷 Maternal Mental Health Week 🩷🩡

As many as 1 in 4 women and birthing people will experience mental health problems around pregnancy. You are not alone. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Here are some common signs that you might be struggling:
πŸ˜” Feeling low or numb for long periods
😟 Constant worry or panic attacks
😒 Crying more than usual or feeling easily overwhelmed
πŸ’­ Intrusive or frightening thoughts
😴 Struggling to sleep even when the baby sleeps
😞 Feeling disconnected from your baby or your own identity

These feelings don’t mean you’re not a good parent. They mean you might need support and that’s okay.

If anything here feels familiar, reach out. Talk to your GP, speak to someone you trust, or self-refer to us. If you’re struggling and are interested in counselling or just want more information then please reach out.
