January 25, 2020Glenda O'NeillBlog, CounsellingNo CommentsAussie Spirit, Australian Fires, blog post, Community, Emotional Health, Emotional Support, Mental Health, Novo Counselling, wellbeing

Australia on Fire Australia on fire. Who would have known that the headlines this summer would be so horrendous. The news reports so heart-breaking.   Extreme. Devastating. Monstrous. Unbelievable. Unthinkable. These are just a few of the words that come to mind as I think about the catastrophic bushfire events of the past few weeks here…

As this Mother’s Day approaches I sit here writing with some big, wild emotions. Torn between which one to share and make my focus. I’m a therapist, so addressing big emotions is what I do. But I’ll confess, perhaps not surprisingly, that there are moments in my own journey that are incredibly challenging. More so…

April 14, 2019Glenda O'NeillBlog, Counselling, Self LoveNo CommentsConnection, getting unstuck, Grief Support, griefandloss, Growth Mindset, Hope, meaning, Moving Forward, novocounselling, purpose; blog post

CONNECTION. It’s one of those core human needs we all have innately placed within us. That hope that somehow our presence is important, valued and desired by someone else. Or is it all just a bit cliché? Why is it that genuine connection seems to be so lacking, and so difficult to find in our…

L O V E. This month somehow requires me to address this topic right?! Writings on ‘self-love’ have most definitely saturated marketing, blogs, magazines and social media worldwide during the past weeks, so I’ve been led to take a slightly different angle this time. An area and a perspective that is growing people’s curiosity daily….

Personally, I love the Christmas season. It has such special significance for my family and I as we celebrate the most precious of things to us.

The Language of the Soul

November 15, 2018Glenda O'NeillBlog, Emotional Intelligence, Forgiveness, Mind MattersNo CommentsEmotional Intelligence, Emotions, forgiveness, mindmatters, Moving Forward, novocounselling; blog post

EMOTIONS…..we all have them! Not one of us can escape them, although some sure try! They can rule us, guide us, teach us, shame us. They can take us by surprise, and (if we allow) help us to recognize when something isn’t quite how it should be. But the reality is this! They’re always there,…
