Our newsletter
We regularly send out a newsletter to keep you informed on our activities and help you to stay mentally strong or support colleagues, family and friends.
September 2026 Newsletter
“Sometimes, the most important thing we can do is remind someone that they do not have to face their pain alone.”
September is Suicide Prevention Month, with World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September. It is a time to create more open and compassionate conversations about suicide and emotional pain, and to remind one another that support is available.
July 2026 Newsletter
At Counselling Corner, we recognise the profound emotional impact a cancer diagnosis has on both patients and their loved ones. To provide dedicated support this July, we are offering free professional consultations for those who need it most.
July 2026 Newsletter
Have you ever felt a sudden spark of jealousy or anger inside, and panicked, thinking, “Am I a bad person? According to the famous psychologist Carl Jung, alongside the “Persona,” the mask we wear for the world, we all have a “Shadow Self.”
May 2026 Newsletter
Have you ever noticed that your brain remembers incomplete tasks far more vividly than the ones you’ve already finished?
This concept, known as the Zeigarnik Effect, originated in the 1920s. Psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed that restaurant waiters could remember complex, unpaid orders perfectly, yet completely forgot the details as soon as the bill was settled.
June 2026 Newsletter
“You have so many qualifications… you should be aiming higher!” “At your age, you should have achieved this by now!”
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure from family or society to always be doing more? This week, we are looking at the balance between societal expectations and finding your own inner peace.
Mar 2026 Newsletter
On 28 March, we mark the one-year memorial of the earthquake that changed so many lives. Beyond the physical damage, such events often leave us grieving for the things we cannot see, the loss of our dreams, the loss of a steady life and the loss of the future we had envisioned.
April 2026 Newsletter
We believe that staying connected with the global counselling community is essential for our growth. Recently, we were honoured to host Judith Shepherd-Pemell, a volunteer from the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), who spent time working closely with our team.
Jan 2026 Newsletter
Aung Min Thein, founder of Counselling Corner, joined theMental Health in the Workplace Conference 2025 as a panelist to share insights from Myanmar’s unique context. He highlighted how Myanmar’s conflict landscape impacts employees, making preventive workshops and empathetic HR policies essential. Research shows 54% of the population faces moderate to severe depression, while conscription laws drive young talent abroad — challenges that demand stronger workplace support systems. Counselling Corner’s initiatives include emotional workshops, creative awareness campaigns with companies, and partnerships with Suicide Prevention Myanmar to address burnout, harassment, and suicide prevention.
Feb 2026 Newsletter
As we enter February, the air is filled with preparations for Valentine’s Day and conversations about love. While many couples are busy selecting gifts and planning romantic gestures, we recognise that for those who are single, this season can sometimes feel a little isolating.
However, at Counselling Corner, we believe that the “Month of Love” should be about more than just romantic status. It is an opportunity to look closer at how we connect both with others and with ourselves.
