In a our fast paced, high pressured world it’s so easy to feel lost and unsure of why you’re here or what truly matters. Many of us spend years searching for purpose, looking outward for validation or trying to fit into a mould that was never meant for us.

But what if the key to purpose isn’t something we need to chase?

What if it’s something we activate through the simplest, most profound act, that of serving others?

The Sacred Nature of Service

Service isn’t about sacrifice, it’s about alignment.

When we help others whether through listening, guiding, healing or simply being present, we step out of the small self and into something much bigger, timeless and expansive. We become vessels for connection, compassion and consciousness.

In those moments, we remember we’re not alone and neither is anyone else.

Service becomes sacred when it’s done from a place of authenticity. Not to be seen, not to be praised but because we feel the call. We know deep down this is what I’m here for.

The Energetic Shift of Helping

Every act of service creates a subtle shift, both within us and in the world around us. Energy flows differently when it’s offered freely and we discover that by helping others we can:

• Dissolve feelings of isolation
• Reignite dormant gifts or passions
• Bring clarity to our own healing journeys
• Deepen empathy and open the heart

You may have already felt this after holding space for a friend, volunteering, offering a healing session or even helping a stranger. There’s such a quiet peace that follows and a sense of rightness. That’s alignment!!

You can express purpose through healing, teaching, parenting, creating, listening, leading, or simply showing up with integrity. The common thread? You are of service to something greater than yourself — love, growth, spirit, community, awakening.

So how do we align more deeply with purpose through service?

1. Start where you are. You don’t need to be fully healed, have all the answers, or be in a perfect place.
2. Follow your intuitive nudges. Who are you drawn to support? What lights you up when you give? Your inner compass knows.
3. Create sacred space for others. Whether you’re a professional or simply holding space in daily life, your presence can change lives.
4. Balance giving with receiving. Service doesn’t mean depletion so it’s important to fill your own cup so you can serve without feeling exhausted.
5. Trust that small acts matter. A kind word, a warm touch, an open heart and all these ripple further than we often know.

In serving others, we so often end up healing ourselves.

Welcome to our healing sanctuary, a place where energy flows freely, intentions are powerful, and your mind, body and spirit come into harmony. Whether you’re completely new to energy healing or returning for deeper alignment, this Q&A blog is here to guide you through what to expect during your session with us.

Q: What exactly is Reiki and chakra alignment?

A: Reiki is a gentle hands on (or hands above) energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, emotional clarity and physical wellbeing. Chakra alignment focuses on balancing the seven main energy centres in your body, which can become stagnant due to stress, trauma or life imbalances. By realigning your chakras, we help to restore energetic harmony and flow.

Q: What makes your clinic unique?

A: Our clinic offers a truly immersive healing experience. Three certified energy healers work in the same tranquil space, each seeing one client at a time creating a harmonious group healing atmosphere. The room is enhanced with crystal healing, singing bowls and deeply calming ambient music, amplifying the effects of your individual session while also raising the collective energy in the space.

Q: What are singing bowls and how are they used?

A: Singing bowls are used for sound healing. Their rich, resonant tones help calm the nervous system and bring your brainwaves into a meditative state. During your session you may feel the sound vibrations wash over you helping to release tension and open up blocked energy pathways.

Q: What role do crystals play in the session?

A: Crystals are placed on and near your body to support the healing process. Each type of crystal holds a unique vibration and is chosen based on your energetic needs (for example, rose quartz for the heart, amethyst for spiritual clarity or black tourmaline for grounding). They work in synergy with Reiki and Chakra alignment to deepen your energetic reset.

Q: Is it okay that there are other people receiving healing in the same room?

A: Yes — and it’s actually part of what makes our sessions so special. Although each healing is personal and focused, the group setting creates a powerful collective energy. The room is filled with intention, peace and deep vibrational resonance that enhances everyone’s healing. Clients often say they feel more connected and uplifted in this shared space.

Q: What can I expect to feel during or after a session?

A: Everyone’s experience is different. You might feel:

• Warmth or tingling sensations
• Deep emotional release
• Insights or visualisations
• Complete stillness and calm. Some people feel energised, others deeply relaxed or even sleepy. Following your treatment you may notice more clarity, lighter emotions, better sleep or a subtle sense of inner peace.

Q: Do I need to prepare before my appointment?

A: No special preparation is needed. We recommend arriving with an open mind, wearing comfortable clothing and staying hydrated before and after your session. There will be refreshments provided to ground you. You’re welcome to set a personal intention, but your healer will guide the rest.

Q: How often should I come for Reiki or chakra alignment?

A: This depends on your goals. Some clients come weekly or biweekly for ongoing support, while others book sessions when they’re feeling out of balance or going through a big life transition. We’ll help you tune in to what feels right for you.

Q: Can Reiki and chakra work support my emotional and mental health?

A: Absolutely!! While energy healing isn’t a replacement for medical or psychological care, it’s a powerful complement. Many people use Reiki to reduce anxiety, lift depression, process grief and reconnect with a sense of purpose and inner calm.

Q: How do I book a session?

A: Simply email me at julietbunting1@gmail.com or call me on 07735609209, or stop by the clinic. You’ll be matched with one of our skilled practitioners and welcomed into a space of healing, connection and peace.

Whether you’re seeking physical ease, emotional release or spiritual clarity, our trio of healers are here to support your journey. We invite you to step into our sacred space and experience the shift for yourself.

Welcome to my Q&A blog! I understand that starting counselling can feel overwhelming and you might have many questions. Here, I’ve answered some of the most common ones to help you feel more informed and comfortable.

Q: What is counselling and how can it help me?

A: Counselling offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings and challenges. A counsellor supports you without judgment, helping you better understand yourself, develop coping strategies and make positive changes. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship issues or simply seeking personal growth, counselling can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.

Q: How do I know if I need counselling?

A: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or simply “not yourself,” counselling can help. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit; many people seek therapy to enhance their well-being, manage life transitions or gain deeper self-awareness. If you’re wondering whether counselling is right for you, that’s often a good indication that it could be beneficial.

Q: What happens during a typical session?

A: Each session is tailored to your unique needs. You have the opportunity to talk about what’s on your mind in a safe and supportive environment. Your counsellor may ask thoughtful questions, offer feedback, suggest strategies, or guide you through exercises, depending on your goals.

Q: Is everything I say confidential?

A: Yes absolutely!! Confidentiality is a cornerstone of counselling. What you share stays private, with a few legal exceptions (such as risk of serious harm to yourself or others or legal requirements). Your counsellor will explain confidentiality fully at your first session so you know exactly what to expect.

Q: How long does counselling take?

A: This varies for everyone. Some people attend a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others engage in longer term therapy for deeper exploration and growth. Together with your counsellor you can decide what timeline feels right for you.

Q: Do you offer online sessions?

A: Yes! I offer secure online counselling for those who prefer the flexibility of remote support. Whether you’re at home, at work, or traveling, online sessions make it easier to prioritise your wellbeing.

Q: What types of issues can I bring to counselling?

A: You can bring anything that’s affecting your emotional health or quality of life. Common topics include:

• Anxiety and depression
• Stress and burnout
• Grief and loss
• Relationship and family issues
• Life transitions
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Personal growth and identity exploration. No issue is too “small” or “big” if it matters to you, it matters to me.

Q: How do I get started?

A: Getting started is easy. You can send me an email julietbunting1@gmail.com or call me on 07735609209. I will guide you through the next steps and we can get started within a few days.

Taking the first step toward counselling is a brave and positive move. I am here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions not covered here, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m happy to answer them.

In today’s busy world, finding the time and the right space for healing can feel quite challenging.

That’s why I offer online counselling and wellness sessions: to make deep emotional support accessible, flexible and just as powerful as meeting face to face.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, grief, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, online sessions create a sacred space for you to pause, reflect and heal all from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Here’s why many clients across the UK, America and Australia are choosing online support:

🌿Comfort and Convenience

No commuting, no traffic, no rushing to appointments. You can simply create a quiet space at home, log in and fully focus on yourself.

🌿 Safe and Confidential

Online sessions are held in a secure, private space allowing you to open up and explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences without judgment.

🌿 Just as Effective as In-Person

Research shows that online counselling can be just as effective as traditional in person sessions. Our connection, presence and the depth of the work remain the same.

🌿 Flexibility Around Your Life

Online therapy offers more flexibility in scheduling, making it easier to fit healing into your busy life.

In our fast-paced, constantly connected world, it’s easy to feel out of sync—physically, emotionally and spiritually. That’s where energy healing practices like Reiki and chakra alignment come in. These gentle, non-invasive techniques are gaining popularity for a good reason: they work with your body’s energy to promote deep healing and inner balance.

What Is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that channels universal life force energy through the hands of a practitioner to the recipient. It’s deeply relaxing and often described as a warm, calming flow of energy. Reiki works to dissolve blockages, reduce stress and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Chakra Alignment:
Chakras are the body’s energy centres, each linked to specific physical, emotional and spiritual functions. When they’re out of balance whether from stress, trauma, or daily life you may feel tired, anxious or even physically unwell. Chakra alignment helps to clear and balance these centres, allowing energy to flow freely and harmoniously through the body.

The Benefits You Might Experience:

• Reiki and chakra healing creates a state of deep calm, easing anxiety and tension.
• These practices help release emotional blockages and promote a sense of peace and clarity.
• By removing energetic stagnation many people feel more vibrant and energised.
• Balanced chakras can heighten your awareness and connection to inner guidance.
• Reiki supports healing on every level—mind, body, and spirit—making it a wonderful complement to traditional medicine.

Whether you’re feeling burnt out or simply seeking greater harmony within yourself, Reiki and chakra alignment offer a beautiful path back to balance. It’s not just healing it’s coming home to yourself. Our monthly Reiki Healing and Chakra Alignment Clinic, held in Stone, Staffordshire, offers a beautifully curated, multi-practitioner healing experience designed to realign, restore and rejuvenate your entire energy system.

Held on the second Saturday of the month our clinic is the first and only space in Stone, Staffordshire, exclusively dedicated to Reiki and energy medicine, offering a fusion of ancient techniques and modern therapeutic practice. With three healers practicing in the same room it’s a high vibrational sacred space for healing to take place.

Why does disconnecting feels so daunting? I find I am often exploring this issues with women in today’s modern fast paced society. So what does it really mean?

The fear of switching off, disconnecting from our devices, emails and social media has become a common anxiety. You would think it would be easy to unplug from technology, it sounds simple really but the act often brings an undercurrent of stress.

Why is it that logging out for just a few hours or taking a full digital detox can feel so intimidating?

Our fear of disconnecting often stems from the high value society places on productivity. The digital age blurs the lines between work and personal time, with notifications and emails ensuring that work is just a click away. So many of us associate being “offline” with missing out, whether it’s an important work update, a social gathering, or simply the latest news. We now have a term for it – FOMO, or the “fear of missing out.”

This anxiety is heightened by our culture of immediacy. People expect quick responses and updates. But this expectation creates a sense that, without constant connectivity, we are out of the loop or not doing “enough.” Over time, this expectation becomes internalised, making it harder to imagine moments where we’re not online or readily available.

The Mental Toll of Staying Connected

Research shows that constant connectivity can strain our mental health. Always staying “on” keeps our brains in a state of alertness, creating a cycle of stress and burnout. Switching off, logging out of work apps, putting down our phones and embracing time without screens can feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s crucial for resetting our minds and finding balance.

Tips for Easing Into the Switch-Off

Set Boundaries: Start by establishing “no screen” times in your day, like during meals or before bed, to build your comfort with being offline.

Communicate Your Plan: Letting people know you’re taking time offline can ease any guilt and relieve the pressure of quick responses.

Be Mindful of the Benefits: Take note of the mental clarity and relaxation you experience after even brief periods of disconnection. Focusing on these benefits can help reduce the fear.

In a world that pushes us to be constantly available, the act of switching off becomes so difficult and self-care can be neglected. It’s about learning to be okay with quiet moments, allowing yourself the time to recharge and realising that the world actually keeps turning even when we’re not online!!

So take a breath, embrace the fear and give yourself permission to disconnect. You might just find that a little space from the screen brings a lot of peace to your life.

Cognitive distortions are inaccurate thoughts that often reinforce negative thinking and emotions, like anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. They’re subtle but powerful mental traps that can skew our perceptions, making everyday challenges feel overwhelming.

Common examples of this include “catastrophising” (expecting the worst possible outcome), “black-and-white thinking” (seeing things as all good or all bad) and “mind reading” (assuming we know what others think of us without evidence).

Fortunately, these thinking patterns aren’t fixed and with the right strategies, we can learn to identify and counteract them.

Identifying and Challenging Distortions

The first step to overcoming cognitive distortions is awareness. It’s not uncommon for people to feel trapped by their own thoughts without realising how cognitive distortions play a role. By recognising these thought patterns, we can begin to question their validity and challenge their hold over us. For example, instead of assuming a friend’s silence means they’re upset with you, ask yourself if there might be other explanations—like they’re just busy or distracted.

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling can be effective in addressing cognitive distortions because it provides both a supportive environment and strategies for change. I will work with you to identify which cognitive distortions you’re prone to, helping you to challenge them in real time.

Here’s how it works:

• Guided Self-Reflection: I can help you to recognise and analyse automatic thoughts, questioning their validity and finding more balanced perspectives.
• Skill Development: Through sessions, you’ll learn tools like reframing, mindfulness and journaling to replace negative thinking with constructive thought patterns.
• Empowerment: My counselling and wellness sessions will empower you to be more than just a passive observer of your thoughts, equipping you with the skills to actively shape them.

Overcoming cognitive distortions is a journey and I offer guidance every step of the way, helping to foster resilience, improve self-esteem and create a more positive outlook. By identifying and reshaping these patterns, you can change your inner dialogue and approach life with a healthier, more balanced mindset.
