Off The Back Of Loneliness Week… A Reminder You’re Not Alone

Loneliness Awareness Week has just wrapped up, and it was a good reminder to check in on those around you: When was the last time you called your mum? Sent a message to your mate? Or checked in with yourself?

Loneliness doesn’t always look like isolation, it can sneak in quietly. When you feel flat around people, keep busy to avoid thinking, or just don’t feel like “yourself.”

In small towns like Ingham, where life is full and familiar, it can be hard to speak up.

That’s why we’re growing our team here at Tumbleweed Therapies. We’ve been offering outreach clinics in Ingham for over two years now, and we’re excited to welcome Lucia Bunce, an accredited counsellor, to the local team. Lucia brings seven years of experience, a calm, grounded approach, and a passion for helping people feel heard and understood.

Whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout or something else you can’t quite name, having someone to talk to can make all the difference. Having someone to talk to is the first step toward overcoming loneliness.

Take the time to check in on yourself so you’re in the right space to check in on others, too.

Support is closer than you think. Contact the Tumbleweed Therapies team on 07 4463 8679, or email intake@tumbleweedtherapies.com and check out their website: www.tumbleweedtherapies.com.au.
