Hello, a warm welcome to my blog. I thought I’d start things off by explaining my business name. Some counselling websites have the practitioner’s name while others use a meaningful word or phrase to set the tone. I chose inner action because I wanted a name to reflect my therapeutic style. On the surface, it may look like nothing is happening whilst on the inside, changes are beginning to take shape. In essence, positive results don’t start out there, they come from within.
I believe real change begins from within, not by being told what to do, or pushed into action, but through gentle connection with parts of yourself long left unheard. The word action can sometimes feel like pressure. “Do more. Fix it. Hurry up.”
But inner action doesn’t work that way.
In my therapy room, action might look like:
•
Allowing silence when words feel too far away
•
Naming something that’s always felt unspeakable
•
Softening self-blame with a moment of self-kindness
•
Starting to trust your own pace and process
These are not small things, they are acts of courage, reclamation and presence. They are Inner Action.
Being blind informs how I understand inner work. I experience the world primarily through non-visual ways, through listening, sensing, attuning. This has taught me to honour what’s not seen but deeply felt. When the world isn’t designed with you in mind, you learn to adapt, not by suppressing who you are but by finding new ways to move through it. Often, that’s what therapy asks of us too: to find gentler, more authentic ways of being, even in the face of difficulty.
Inner Action honours this kind of navigation. Quiet, creative, resourceful and deeply personal.
Why It Matters.
So many people arrive in therapy thinking they need to be ready, articulate or fixed But Inner Action Counselling doesn’t begin with having the right words. It begins with a feeling. A flicker of wanting something different. A sense that you’ve carried something heavy for long enough.
If that’s where you are, you don’t need to explain it perfectly, you just need a space that feels steady enough to begin. If this makes sense to you, reach out for a chat.
