Miranda Wiltshire Counselling

Christmas is a time for connection and a time that can magnify the intensity of loss in various forms, including for those we miss deeply and those we never met 🤍

✨How can we honour and connect in authentic ways with ourselves, those in our present and those from our past.

✨Creating rituals to honour, remember and be present with their love.

🕯️Lighting a candle, visiting a place they loved, playing their favourite song.. there are many ideas. Feel welcome to share yours…

✨for anyone finding this time of year particularly challenging, please feel welcome to reach out. I hate the thought of anyone struggling or feeling alone.. I am here to support you whether it be loss or any challenges you face. I am available over the Christmas period. In love and light 🕯️ ✨🦋Miranda

I’d like to give a special thank you to Andrew Marr (my partner in life) for supporting the many many MANY hours I put into my application, Tracie Barbour who was the Invigilator for my 3 hour exam, and Fran McGrath for providing a Referee statement. I’m so grateful to you all! 🙏💗

Grounding is great for calming the nervous system and is the first element of Earth 🐾amongst 4 elements of beautiful stress reduction practices. Where will you choose to ground yourself? 💗

💗”Research has proved that if you change what is going on in your inner world, independent of what is going on in your outer world, the body tends to flourish, disease tends to reverse, people are no longer living with the same limited degree of possibilities. They are aware that there are other possibilties and the side effect of that process has been spontaneous remissions from diseases and opportunities that begin to appear in people’s lives…” ~ Dr Joe Dispenza.

🧠 I was fascinated to learn about the work Dr Joe Dispenza is doing with the power of the mind, body, spirit connection. In his research, and work, which includes 1 week meditation retreats for thousands of people, he has not only been witnessing incredible health and wellbeing outcomes, but he has also been measuring them with scans and blood tests and finding that what the body experiences as it’s truth comes from what the mind is thinking, feeling and experiencing at the time.

🤲I love learning about healing and this incredible human journey we are on together, and passing interesting and helpful information onto YOU.

A change in the weather or season can create a feeling and opportunity to pause and reflect upon meaningful change that you would like to create in your own life, along with what works well for you that you want to continue or increase 🌤

It can also be an opportunity to embrace and explore the ever changing moods and feelings we all experience, to allow time and space to process them in healthy, supported, meaningful ways.

I very much believe we achieve emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing by allowing space for our emotions to inform us and tell us their story, rather than suppress them 📖

They always find a way to come out whether it’s conscious, subconsciously or unconsciously. They can trigger us, with the possibility of leading to destruction in our relationships with others and ourselves, and our physical and mental health 💔

Our emotional wellbeing impacts our whole being and therefore the importance of caring for ourselves is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and others 💝💗

If you are feeling the mood for support, nourishment, self care and loving, conscious, empowering, authentic ways of navigating this human journey, I invite you to reach out🤲

Even when we have the same experience in life, it doesn’t mean we will experience it in the same way or feel the same about it.

We are all wonderfully unique, which is why I never assume how you feel is the same as how I’d feel or how others feel.

There can be similarities and shared feelings, but in my therapeutic role, I very much seek to find out what your experience is like for you and what healing journey and therapy is best for you!

This is the spirit and commitment I bring to YOU in Therapy Your Way, as a person and professional, with 20 years experience, who is passionate about the authenticity of the human journey and the best outcomes for YOU! 🦋

This is where we experience a greater and deeper sense of wellbeing 💗🦋

I’d like to share a story with you to honour and bring awareness to the grief journey, the cancer journey and the real life journey we are all on, connected in our humanity. This story just happens to be mine…

I lost my mum exactly three years ago to cancer while I was pregnant with my first child.

This is a significant time in a woman’s life, when if you are close with your mum, you feel you need them most again.

Becoming a mum also gave me an extra appreciation and understanding of her more than ever before. I wish I could share this experience with her alive.

I found wearing my mother’s clothes during the end of my pregnancy helped me feel close to her. This is one of her dresses, I’m wearing in this photo.

I miss and grieve my mum everyday, not just for my loss, but also for her’s in this human life form.

My mother lives on deep in my heart through my daughter and I.

I very much see my mum’s beautiful inner qualities in my daughter and feel them inspiring my journey.

Her warmth; love of music, dance, animals, and all people; her immense empathy, her intelligence and even her cheekiness and great sense of humour.

Most of all her passion for life!
ALWAYS living life to the full!

My mum continued to swim in the ocean and power walk beachside everyday, every season until she couldn’t walk anymore.

My grandmother’s approach to life was the same (her mother) and so it passes on through the generations and that’s how we live on…

and no matter how tragic and sad life can be I hold onto this incredible human spirit in all of us!!

If you are grieving, GRIEVE and don’t set it any time limits! It’s so important for us to feel what we need to feel and connect in REAL, deep and meaningful ways!

We are all connected, sharing this human experience of life… so I really believe that in a compassionate, kind and understanding world we all heal together!

This is my hope for the entire world going through human struggles right now, including yours!

Positive energy amongst women is empowering and joyful 💞💫✨

I love being surrounded by women who inspire, support each other and lift each other’s spirits without comparison or competition💖

This is the culture I wish for us all, especially our daughters💗

I am grateful for all the incredible women in my life, including those who have passed! ✨You’re amazing! 🙌Thank you! ❤️🙏

Wishing you all a special and connected International Women’s Day! 💓

Miranda 🦋

We are storied beings📖…We carry with us stories from generations past, our past, our present and those for our future and future generations📜

There can be “problem stories” from past or present that we wish to change, in which we acknowledge, explore, heal and process to create our “preferred story”. This can be done through Narrative Therapy 🗝💗

Our preferred story creates a healthy present and future and lays down the foundations, values, hopes and dreams we have for our children and theirs 📝✨

Narrative therapy is an ideology and approach that has shown to be helpful for many, including children, teenagers and across cultures🌀

For these reasons and more, it’s one of the modalities I have trained extensively in because it resonates as a respectful and empowering therapy, in honouring all parts of our story, who we are, and how we want to be 🤲

Embracing change 🦋
How often has life taken you down a different path to what you planned or expected but it has opened up new possibilities or opportunities beyond what you imagined ☀️✨

Even through challenges and difficulties, we find strength, growth, meaning and connection that we might never have experienced otherwise✨💫💗

This makes us who we are today. It’s all part of our story and your story matters! ✨

Your story matters to me and is received without judgment, with complete compassion, authenticity and respect in a space of empathy, care and safety 🤲

Curiosity ✨ Imagine if we came from a place of curiosity rather than knowing… what would that create? ✨

Imagine if we asked more questions rather than had answers… what would we learn? What would that bring? 💫

Imagine a world where uncertainty was revered and embraced, with a thirst to understand more of what we don’t know or don’t understand…

What would that world look like?

What would that feel like?

Would that reduce anxiety and fear?

Would it increase our inner peace?

What questions would you ask? What questions would you like to be asked?

I’d love to hear, what are you curious about?

Hope is so important to our healing journey 🦋

Healing needs hope! 💞
We all need hope! 💗

This year has been extra challenging for most! Loss is happening on a grand scale and close to home 🌏 🏡 💔

A big part of this is Ambiguous Loss, which is loss that is complex and ongoing. In this limbo of grief and loss there is no definitive end or resolution. The outcome remains unknown in time and nature. 🤍

Does this feel familiar in an aspect of your life or with a significant person in your life?

While in a limbo of loss, hope becomes ever so important and can be challenging. 🙏🕊

Ambiguous loss within your family…
Are you missing family for the following reasons:

💔Your family are overseas or in other states and you cannot travel to be with them or they cannot travel to be with you.

💔Close family members (your children, parents or siblings) have become estranged. This can be heartbreaking ongoing loss.

💔Someone in your family has gone missing and you don’t know what happened to them.

💔Someone in your family is not well, mentally and/or physically and you are grieving the changes this has caused.

Ambiguous loss is heavy, ongoing and complex. It’s a type of loss I specialise in and feel passionate to support.

I will continue to share the various forms of ambiguous loss that can be experienced.

If I can be of any direct support please contact me.

I will also be sharing more information, over time, that I hope will be helpful.. through emails, videos, support groups and other means.

You don’t need to suffer alone. Reaching out is a courageous step towards a supported healing journey 🦋
