In the quiet moments of reflection—whether in therapy or coaching—clients often ask, “Why do I feel misunderstood?” or “Why can’t I see what’s holding me back?” These questions point to a deeper yearning: the desire to be known, both by oneself and by others. The Johari Window, a deceptively simple yet profoundly insightful model, offers […]

In the quiet spaces between words, healing often begins…. Counselling is not just about what we say — it’s about how we show up. While the SOLER framework offers a foundational guide to non-verbal communication, truly transformative therapeutic presence demands more. Beyond SOLER lies a deeper, more intuitive language — one that speaks through subtle

Let’s face it—our daily habits shape everything. From how we tackle deadlines to how we show up in meetings, our routines either empower us or quietly sabotage our potential. The good news? You’re not stuck with the habits you have. With a little help from behavioural psychology, you can rewire your workday for focus, flow,

Coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, flow is the sweet spot between challenge and skill, where your brain is fully engaged and your heart feels alive. Whether you’re writing, painting,

Before you know it, Netflix gently asks, “Are you still watching?” And you realize… you never planned to stop. This isn’t just about binge-watching. It’s

There are days when joy feels like a distant memory—buried beneath deadlines, disappointments, and the quiet ache of emotional fatigue. I’d been stuck in that space for weeks.

Walking—simple, rhythmic, intentional—can become a spiritual practice that draws you closer to God. In a world that rushes, walking invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen. 🌿

In a world obsessed with physical perfection, it’s easy to lose sight of the deeper purpose behind caring for our bodies. But for those walking in faith, fitness isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about stewardship. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and honouring God means nurturing the vessel He’s entrusted to

We’ve all felt it—that split-second judgment when meeting someone new. Whether it’s a job interview, a first date, or a chance encounter at the coffee shop, first impressions seem to form instantly and linger stubbornly. But what actually shapes that impression?
