You Matter

You are not small.
You are not unworthy.
You are not insignificant.
The universe wove you from a constellation
just so, every atom, every fiber in you
comes from a different star.

Together,
you are bound by stardust,
altogether spectacularly created
from the energy of the universe itself.

And that, my darling
is the poetry of physics,
the poetry of you.
                                       -Nikita Gill

At Rebecca Dunlop Counselling Services, I understand how isolating it can feel to struggle with loneliness, social anxiety, or finding relationships challenging. It’s easy to believe that something is “wrong” with you for finding connection difficult, but your pain is not a flaw. It’s a deeply human response to unmet needs for belonging, safety, and understanding.

When we carry the belief that we’re not good enough or fear being judged in social spaces, we often retreat, shrinking our world and our sense of possibility. Over time, this can lead to disconnection not just from others, but from ourselves. Learning to accept yourself as you are is the first step toward healing. Self-acceptance allows you to embrace your unique qualities and imperfections without judgment.

Healing begins when we stop fighting these feelings and start listening to them with care. My role is to walk beside you as you face these struggles with gentleness and curiosity. Together, we can explore what holds you back and work to build the confidence, self-compassion, and self-trust needed to form meaningful, nourishing relationships with others and with yourself. It would be a privilege to support you in this deeply personal journey.
