Gentle Beginnings: Why Spring is the Perfect Time to Start Counselling

There’s something about spring that stirs a quiet hope in us. New leaves unfurl. Lambs wobble into the world. Soft blossoms stretch open after a long winter. And in the same way, this season gently reminds us — it’s okay to begin again.

Counselling is often seen as something we should turn to only when things are breaking. But spring teaches us a different truth: growth starts quietly. Sometimes, we don’t need a crisis — we simply need a fresh start.

At MelinaJBW, we often talk about healing as a process of “gently, gently.” No pressure. No fixing. Just room to breathe, explore, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re carrying the heaviness of past seasons or you’re simply ready to shed some emotional clutter, this is a beautiful time to start.

Just like nature takes its time, so can you. Your healing doesn’t need to be rushed — only welcomed.
