Stop being the default problem-solver.

Stop saying “I’m fine” when you’re not.

Stop thinking rest has to be earned.

You can be kind and have boundaries.

You can love your people and say no.

You can stop doing it all ... and still be deeply worthy.

Your nervous system needs you.

Your future self will thank you.

This is the season to come home to you.

And I’d love to walk with you.

You said yes to avoid conflict.

You kept the peace at all costs.

You convinced yourself your needs could wait.

But now you’re running on empty.

And peace? It’s costing you the most.

True connection doesn’t come from shrinking yourself.

It comes from honesty, boundaries and self-respect.

You don’t have to keep doing it this way.

This is the work I do with women every day.

Let’s rewrite the story.

Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good habit - it’s a tool for mental wellbeing 🌿

Healthy boundaries = healthier relationships 💛

In counselling, I support clients to recognise their limits and communicate them confidently. Protecting your energy is an act of self-care.

"What is EMDR Therapy and How Can It Help Me?"

"After having EMDR Therapy with Honni, I can feel my current experience of life changing in really important ways. I’m more confident, I feel free and I’m excited about my future for the first time in years." This is what one client said recently. This is why I love EMDR. Therapy.

It sounds lovely, bubble baths, yoga, a weekend away.

But what about the guilt that creeps in?

The mental load that never switches off?

The pressure to care for everyone else first?

Real self-care isn’t always pretty or Insta-worthy.

Sometimes it’s saying no.

Setting a boundary.

Letting someone down in order to show up for yourself.

That’s the part no one’s talking about, but it’s the part that changes everything.

Need help learning how to care for yourself without the guilt? That’s what I do.

You say yes when you mean no.

You over-explain. You feel guilty.

You try to keep the peace but end up feeling invisible.

Here’s what really works:

Clear. Calm. No drama.

Learning that “no” is a full sentence.

Letting go of the need to be liked by everyone.

Then: You felt exhausted, overlooked, stretched thin.

Now: You feel lighter, clearer, more in charge of your own life.

This is the work I do with women every day.
And it’s not selfish: it’s essential.

Happy birthday to my beautiful sister Priscilla, my friend, my travelling companion and one of the people who just gets me.

We have so much fun together, always laughing, always dreaming.

We’re alike in so many ways (sometimes freakishly!) and different in others, which somehow makes it work even better.

Through all of life’s ups and downs, we’ve had each other’s backs.

I’m so grateful for the way we support one another, cheer each other on and keep showing up with honesty, heart and humour.

Love you lots, Priscilla.

Here’s to more adventures, more chats, and more sunflowers 💛
