💗 A little reflection on Dolly Parton

Like so many, I was really saddened to hear the news about Dolly Parton.

Whatever you think of her music, there’s no denying the incredible legacy she leaves behind and the good she has done for so many people.

One of her quotes really stood out to me:

“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”

And I think that says so much about what we are trying to achieve at UK Therapy Guild Academy.

Counselling isn’t just about learning theories and techniques. It’s about understanding ourselves, our experiences, our values and the things that have shaped us.

Because when we understand ourselves better, we are better placed to sit alongside someone else and help them understand themselves too.

So perhaps we can take a little inspiration from Dolly.

Dream more. Learn more. Care more. Be more.

And use what we learn to make a difference to someone else.

What a legacy 💎

I was so excited today to be waiting to be interviewed by the She Inspires Foundation Awards and to have the opportunity to tell them a little more about the journey behind UK Therapy Guild.

It was a chance to talk about both our Academy and Counselling Service, the work we’re doing now, and our plans for the future CIC.

There’s something quite special about being given the opportunity to stop for a moment and recognise just how far something has come. What started with a vision to make a difference through counselling, education and training continues to grow in ways I’m incredibly proud of.

And finally… thank you to whoever it was who nominated me. ❤️

I genuinely have no idea who you are, but you’ve made my day, and I’m very grateful. 🥰

Whatever the outcome, being considered for the She Inspires Awards is something I’ll be proud of.

Are you a people pleaser?

Do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no?

Worrying about disappointing people?

Putting everyone else’s needs before your own?

Apologising when you’ve done nothing wrong?

Or feeling responsible for keeping everyone happy?

People pleasing can look like kindness on the outside, while leaving you feeling exhausted, resentful or disconnected from what you actually want.

And learning to say no doesn’t make you selfish.

It means learning that your needs matter too.

🎧 Something worth listening to

We came across this TEDx talk by Salma Hindy:

“Why People Pleasing is Hurting You”

It’s thoughtful, funny and a great starting point for thinking about why we sometimes find it so difficult to put ourselves first. (TED)

Watch the TED Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55HERZnmHT8

And if people pleasing is something you’re beginning to recognise in yourself, counselling can provide a safe space to explore where those patterns come from and what you might want to do differently.

You don’t have to keep saying yes to everyone else.
