Even though we had a late flourish of sun this September, all the usually signs that autumn is around the corner are here. Whether it’s an influx of TV advertising, talk of Christmas party planning or just that extra chill in the air, the ending of seasons can seem to creep up on us and often leave us with a feeling of being unprepared.
Autumn of course brings with it some darker nights, which as well as leaving us less time to get things done in the day, gives us less chance to get some vitamin D too. Through the spring and summer, just being outside can give most of us all the vitamin D we need, but come autumn and winter, that’s a lot tougher so we need to be eating the right foods and taking vitamin supplements if we need to.
OK, so you may be thinking that getting out in the chilly air, or even snow and rain is the last thing you want to do as the temperatures start to drop, especially if it can’t help with vitamin D! But the truth is, just getting outside can always be beneficial. As well as giving you some extra exercise, just and hour’s walk in the park can give you some much needed fresh air and some time to think as well.
I continue to offer walk and talk counselling in Chorley throughout the autumn and winter months, but changeable weather and darker nights come with their own concerns. With that in mind, I like to tell all my clients that I offer virtual online sessions from a confidential space within my home, should they feel like they don’t wish to attend on a dark and rainy night.
Person-centred therapy is all about the relationship, and I’m keen for that counselling relationship to continue, whatever the weather may have in store!
