Meet Joanna – Provisional Psychologist at Guiding Light Psychology

Joanna’s journey into psychology was shaped by her own experiences as a teenager, where receiving support through therapy inspired her to one day help others through difficult times as well.

Here is what Joanna wants you to know before starting therapy:
* There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy
* You are allowed to take things at your own pace
* Therapy should feel collaborative and flexible
* Your story, experiences, and goals matter

Joanna describes her therapy approach as client-led and collaborative. She often explains therapy like being in a car together, with the client holding the steering wheel while she helps guide and support the journey. She believes flexibility, choice, and a sense of control can be incredibly healing.

Joanna’s path to psychology was not linear. Before entering the field, she studied fashion design, worked in makeup and special effects, and spent five years living in Japan working in marketing and social media. She believes these life experiences helped shape her understanding of people and human behaviour.

Outside of the therapy room, Joanna enjoys expressing her creativity through art and fashion, and loves staying active through Pilates, yoga, and weight training.

Taking care of your mental health looks different for everyone 🤍

In this video, Mounir shares some of the ways he prioritises his wellbeing, stays grounded, and looks after his mental health amidst the busyness of life. A good reminder that mental health care doesn’t always have to be complicated, sometimes it’s the small, consistent things that make the biggest difference.

Unwinding, together 🤍

A gentle reminder that rest isn’t a luxury, it’s part of showing up for yourself and for others.

How do you plan to unwind this week? 🌿

Whether it’s something big or small, give yourself permission to slow down.

Meet Sara – Provisional Psychologist at Guiding Light Psychology

Before entering psychology, she worked in law, but felt called to support people on a more personal and meaningful level, where she could truly connect with others.

Here is what Sara wants you to know before starting therapy:

- You deserve to feel heard and supported
- Progress matters more than perfection
- Even small steps forward are meaningful
- You are not alone in what you are going through

Sara brings a warm and empathetic presence into her sessions. She focuses on creating a space where clients feel validated in their experiences and supported as they navigate challenges.

She believes therapy is about progress, not perfection. Watching clients shift from feeling overwhelmed or stuck to gradually gaining perspective and moving forward is what she finds most rewarding in her work.

For Sara, a meaningful session is one where clients leave feeling like they have gained something, whether that is clarity, insight, or simply feeling understood.

Outside of the therapy room, Sara values connection and bringing that same sense of empathy and support into all areas of her life.

Therapy isn’t a place for judgement, it’s a space for honesty, healing, and being seen without fear.

The thoughts you’re worried about sharing? They’re often the ones that matter most.

Showing up, opening up, and letting yourself be vulnerable is strength, not weakness.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much” or “not okay enough” to talk… this is your reminder: You are safe to be human here. 🤍

If resting makes you feel guilty, that usually means you were taught that your value comes from what you produce, not who you are.

So when you rest or slow down, your nervous system reacts negatively.

• Rest can trigger guilt because it feels unfamiliar, not because it’s wrong
• Many people were conditioned to associate slowing down with criticism or failure
• Your nervous system may interpret rest as unsafe if you’ve lived in constant pressure
• Rest is how your mind and body regulate, recover, and reset
• Without rest, discipline turns into burnout, not growth

You don’t need to earn rest. You need it to function properly.

The vision: viral content.
The reality: a team that just wants to be left alone 😅

There’s always that one person with endless reel ideas…
and everyone else trying to get through their day in peace.

To be fair, when you’re focused, in a session, or just not in the mood…
the answer is simple. No.

And honestly, we respect it.

“Am I just stressed… or is this anxiety?”

It’s a question we hear all the time.
Stress usually has a clear cause (think deadlines, pressure, life events).

Anxiety can show up even when nothing obvious is happening, and it tends to stick around longer.

Both are valid. Both can feel overwhelming.
And both deserve support 🤍
