Hello & Welcome

Hello and welcome to Howlite Therapy’s blog page written by me, Lorraine Ballintine founder and counsellor for Howlite Therapy.  This first blog entry explains the areas of interest I’ll be exploring in future blogs.

Having never written a blog before my intention is not to rewrite mental health narrative but to contribute to discussions regarding current mental health research, guidance, training and practice.  I like to think this will be of interest to my readers and will increase my knowledge, skills and reflective practice as well as giving my readers food for thought.

I will also be writing about my counselling practice journey by commenting on subjects that interest me.  Therefore, as well as emotional wellness and mental health I’ll be writhing about things such as the arts and general health along with emerging trends in these fields.

The more I blog the better I’ll get, so please bear with me and if you’d like to join the conversation or suggest an article for me to review please do so by commenting on my posts.  I’m also interested in my readers interests with regards to emotional wellbeing and mental health so I’m happy to publish any views and stories that are relevant, please get in touch by dropping me an email lorraine@howlitetherapy.com

Come back and visit to see:

• what I’ve been up to?

Opening up the emotional wellbeing discussion can encourage a world where mental health is understood better.
