Ever looked in the mirror and let a single thought ruin your whole day?

You’re not alone. In a world obsessed with filters and flawless feeds, it’s easy to forget: your worth was never meant to be measured by your waistline.

Let’s choose compassion over criticism.
Let’s stop shrinking to fit in and start growing to stand out.

Swipe through the slides to understand the difference between body image and self-esteem, and how you can build a healthier relationship with both.

Over-apologizing — even when you’ve done nothing wrong.
You say, “Sorry!” out of habit.
But your nervous system says, “If I don’t make myself small, I might upset someone.”
This often comes from growing up in environments where you had to keep the peace to stay safe.

Laughing at things that actually hurt.
You joke, you smile, you brush it off.
But inside, you’re using humor to protect yourself from pain.
This can be a way to survive when your emotions were dismissed or made fun of in the past.

Never asking for help — even when you're drowning.
You tell yourself, “I’ve got this.”
But what you really feel is, “If I lean on someone, I’ll be a burden.”
This is often rooted in childhood experiences where your needs weren’t met or were seen as ‘too much.’

Always needing to be productive.
You feel guilty when you rest.
Because deep down, your worth feels tied to what you do, not who you are.
This often develops in environments where love or praise was conditional on performance.

These aren’t flaws — they’re adaptations.
Your mind and body found ways to keep you safe.
But now, you don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode.
You deserve to heal.

DM me if you’re ready to explore what’s behind the patterns.

Every child learns differently, but not every challenge is visible.

A psychoeducational assessment is more than a test — it’s a deep dive into how your child thinks, learns, and processes emotions.

This helps parents, educators, and therapists create personalised support plans that actually work.

If you’ve noticed struggles in school, attention issues, or emotional ups and downs, this is your sign to take action. Book a session with an experienced therapist today.

Is your child tossing and turning at night? Their emotional world might be the reason why.

Whether it’s anxiety, sadness, or everyday stress, emotions can deeply affect how well your little one sleeps. That’s where therapy can help.

Child therapy creates a safe space for kids to explore their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and feel more secure—day and night. When emotions are managed, sleep improves naturally.

Helping your child rest better starts with understanding what’s really keeping them up.

Have you noticed your child’s mood affecting their sleep? Share your thoughts or experiences in the comments—we’d love to hear from you!
