Counselling is also remembering the things they thought you’d forget

The pet’s name.

The off-hand comment about an anniversary.

The way they described a childhood photo.

It’s not in the notes.

It’s in the connection.

And when you bring it back,

they know they were really heard.

Healthcare professionals are brilliant at giving advice.

Following their own advice?

That’s a different conversation.

Therapists avoiding the difficult conversation.
Physios sitting in terrible positions all day.
Dietitians eating whatever they can grab between appointments.
Sleep specialists replying to emails far too late at night.

We can know exactly what we should be doing and still be human enough not to do it.

They say something that used to shake me.
They react in a way I once would’ve rushed to fix.

And I notice
I’m steadier now.
More patient.
Less reactive.

This work changes you quietly, over time.

Even empathy has a cost

I lean in, I attune, I feel with them.

That’s the job. That’s the privilege.

But no one tells you how much it takes from your body.

How exhausted your nervous system feels after a day of being steady for everyone else.

The empathy doesn’t switch off.

It lingers until I find ways to reset.

Therapy isn’t always heavy. Sometimes it’s joy.

No one talks about the laughter.

The in-jokes. The silly metaphors that stick.

The relief when someone realises they can laugh and heal at the same time.

Those moments are medicine too.

Laughter doesn’t take away the pain but it makes carrying it feel possible.

Therapy is constantly balancing closeness and distance

Close enough to feel safe.
Distant enough to keep the work clean.

It’s an emotional calibration I do every hour.
Adjusting tone.
Adjusting pace.
Adjusting how much of myself to bring into the room.

Most people never see that balancing act.
But it’s always there.

Not stepping in is sometimes the hardest part of the work.

I can see the pain.
I know what might help.
I feel the urge to soothe it away.

But growth doesn’t come from rescue.
It comes from staying present while someone finds their own footing.

That restraint takes practice.
And it takes trust.

Healthcare is often divided into specialisms. People aren’t.

What brings someone through the door might be one problem, but rarely exists completely on its own.

The best care comes from looking beyond your own discipline and recognising when another perspective could help.

Because people don’t experience their health in silos.

This work is demanding. And it’s also deeply grounding.

Because alongside the pain,
I get to witness honesty, effort, humour, and resilience.

Clients show me what it looks like to keep going
even when things are uncertain.

That’s something I carry with me,
long after the session ends.

One of the most important things I’ve learned as a clinician is knowing when I’m not the person you need.

Good care isn’t having every answer.

It’s knowing when someone needs a different perspective, another specialism, or support you can’t provide.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is point them towards the person who can.

Knowing your limits is part of being a great clinician.
