A space for counsellors to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
I created Held after recognising a common thread among supervisees, peers, and in my own experience as a practitioner. There are seasons when counselling work feels flat, when the passion dims, and we quietly question what we’re doing and why.
Held is a gentle, coaching based space to pause, reconnect, and honour both who you are and who you’re becoming, not just as a counsellor, but as a human being. Before the practitioner role comes the person, and that part of you matters just as much.
Why I Created Held.
I’ve been working as a counsellor, supervisor, and tutor for several years now. It’s work I care deeply about, but like many practitioners, I’ve had moments where that connection wavers.
There was a point where I realised I wasn’t enjoying client work the way I used to. I wasn’t burnt out, exactly, but something felt flat. I kept showing up, but I didn’t feel in it anymore. And with that came guilt, self-doubt, and questions I didn’t know where to take.
When I started speaking about this more openly, I realised how many others felt the same, quietly questioning, quietly tired, quietly craving something more.
Held is the space I needed back then.
A space to reflect, to breathe, and to reconnect, not just with our practice, but with ourselves as people. Before we’re counsellors, we are human beings, with shifting needs, evolving identities, and seasons of growth, grief, and renewal.
This programme is about nurturing you, not just your role. It’s about giving yourself permission to evolve, to explore, and to be held in a space that honours all of it, the questions, the passion, the uncertainty, and the quiet hopes.
You’re not broken. You’re just becoming.
