📍Perfectionism often shows up disguised as high standards or being “responsible,” but underneath it usually sounds like:
“I’m not ready yet.”
“I need more time.”
“I need to feel more confident first.”

So we plan, overthink and hesitate.
And the longer we wait for things to feel perfect, the harder it becomes to begin. 🤔💭

The truth is, progress rarely comes from feeling completely ready. It comes from starting while you’re unsure, learning as you go, and allowing the process to be imperfect. Growth happens in the middle of the mess, not at the end of it. 💙🦋

If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, this might not be a motivation problem, it might be perfectionism quietly slowing you down. Support is available at Haven Therapy Co, and we’re here to help you move forward — gently, at your own pace. 🙌🤗

We’re often taught that motivation is what starts the work. That one day we’ll wake up ready, focused, energised, and then everything will fall into place. 🙂

But more often than not, it doesn’t work that way. Some mornings you wake up feeling clear and capable. Other days you feel heavy before you’ve even gotten out of bed. Your mind is foggy, your body is tired, and everything feels harder than it should.
That isn’t weakness.
That’s being human. ❤️‍🩹

On the days motivation is missing, the goal changes. It’s no longer about doing everything, It’s about doing something. 🤗

Sending the email.
Writing one sentence.
Putting your shoes on.
Opening the notebook.

Wherever you are today, you’re allowed to begin from there. Even the smallest movement still counts as moving forward. 💙

The first week of January can feel strange.
The fun of Christmas is over.
The new year excitement fades.
Work starts again, and suddenly a lot of people feel flat, unmotivated, or even a bit lost. 🙂

I hear it every year in sessions:
“What am I meant to look forward to now?”
“Why don’t I feel excited about the new year?”
“Everyone else seems motivated, why don’t I?”

Here’s the truth, this is so normal. 🤗
After weeks of connection, celebration and disruption to routine, the emotional come-down is real. And then the world throws “new year, new me” at you on top of it. That pressure can make people feel like they’re already behind before the year has even begun.

You don’t need to reinvent yourself in January. You don’t need big goals. You don’t need a fresh version of you. 🙌

Sometimes all that’s needed is permission to arrive in the new year exactly as you are, tired, unsure, hopeful, flat, or somewhere in between.

If this time of year feels harder than expected, support is here 🤍💙

🎄 Holiday Closure Notice

Haven Therapy Co will be taking a short Christmas break from 19th of December.

During this time, our clinic will be closed and all enquiries will be replied to when we return on Monday, 5th of January.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🤗 We wish you a calm, and a happy holiday period. ❤️

14/12/2025

🎄December can be one of the hardest months of the year, even though it’s often wrapped in the idea that we should feel happy, grateful, generous, and calm. 💙

There’s so much unspoken pressure to have the perfect tree, healed relationships, and a year we can proudly sum up as “productive.” But the truth is, none of that determines our worth.

We don’t need to feel festive to deserve kindness. We don’t need to have everything figured out to deserve rest. We don’t need a perfect ending to this year to deserve care.

Self-compassion is for all of us, especially when things feel heavy, unfinished, or messy. It’s the reminder that being human is enough, exactly as we are.

This Christmas, let self-compassion be the gift we all allow ourselves to receive. 🙌❤️‍🩹

🚦 The Self-Compassion Traffic Light

🔴 RED “Pause Here.”
This is the moment you usually go straight into self-criticism.
•You made a mistake
•You’re overwhelmed
•You’re not meeting your own expectations

Self-compassion starts by hitting the red light. Stop the automatic “I’m not good enough” spiral.

🟡 YELLOW “Check In.”
This is where compassion actually happens. Ask yourself:
•What am I feeling right now?
•What do I need?
•Would I say this to someone I love?

Yellow is the moment you choose kindness over panic.

🟢 GREEN “Respond Gently.”
Move forward with soft, human honesty:
•”I’m learning.”
•”I’m allowed to rest.”
•”It’s okay to not get it perfect.”
•”Let’s try again when I’m ready.”

Green is not avoiding responsibility, it’s taking responsibility without hurting yourself along the way.

Self-compassion is noticing when you’re speeding into self-criticism and choosing to stop, check in, and move forward gently. 💙

10/12/2025

Your inner critic isn’t random, it usually shows up in moments where you feel uncertain, tired, or stretched thin. It repeats old fears, old stories, and old expectations you’ve carried for years. ❤️‍🩹

But here’s what’s helpful to remember:
Your inner critic is not your intuition.
It’s not your truth.
It’s a protective voice that learned to keep you small so you wouldn’t get hurt.

This week, instead of fighting that voice or believing everything it says, try pausing and responding with self-compassion:
•Name it: “That’s my inner critic talking.”•Normalize it: “It makes sense this shows up when I’m stressed.”
•Offer truth: “I’m learning. I’m growing. I don’t have to be perfect.”

The goal isn’t to silence your inner critic, it’s to build a kinder voice that eventually becomes louder. 🗣️

Because the more compassion you practice, the more your inner critic becomes lighter. 💙

Emotional safety is the foundation of every healthy relationship, whether it’s with friends, family, colleagues, or partners. 👫

It’s the quiet assurance that your thoughts and feelings can exist without fear of judgment, sarcasm, or dismissal. 🙌

It’s the freedom to speak, to pause, to make mistakes, and still feel seen and respected. It’s not about avoiding conflict, it’s about knowing that conflict won’t threaten your connection or make you feel unsafe.

When emotional safety is present, communication flows more honestly, trust deepens, and relationships become spaces where people can truly be themselves. 💙

05/12/2025

Repair after conflict is one of those skills we’re never really taught, yet it quietly decides the health of every relationship we’re in — friendships, family, work, partners, all of it.

It’s that moment when we choose understanding over ego, curiosity over assumptions, breathing over reacting. It’s when we realise communication isn’t about winning, it’s about staying connected, even when things felt tense or messy. 🙌

Healthy relationships aren’t built on never fighting. They’re built on learning how to come back together, with accountability, honesty, and a bit more softness than before.

And once you experience real repair, you start to understand what genuine connection actually feels like. 💙🫂

04/12/2025

Sometimes we write two versions of the same message, the one typed in frustration, and the one typed after we’ve taken a breath. 🙌

Both are honest and both come from real feelings. But only one moves us toward understanding instead of distance.

Healthy communication isn’t about being calm all the time, it’s about noticing what’s happening inside us, choosing clarity over defensiveness, and speaking in a way that actually protects the relationship, not just our pride. 💙

We don’t always get it right. We’re not meant to. But every time we pause and rewrite the sentence… we create space for something softer place to land. 🤗
