Supervision is a critical part of studying and practising in mental health 🧠

I had a colleague once tell me

"supervision should be like a brain massage"

My sessions with supervisees create space for reflection and extension of our work. A place to problem solve, explore client stucks, celebrate client wins, explore your sense of self as a clinician.

Signs that you may be lacking in regular supervision include:
• burnout
• overwhelm
• lack of joy and play in sessions
• ruminating over clients
• avoiding clients
• client disengagement

Reach out to book a supervision call and bring back the joy in your work so you can continue to show up for clients in a way that truly aligns with your values.💫

Here are my answers to some of my most frequently asked questions when someone reaches out for Couples Counselling:

1. What does the process look like?
2. Do I need to bring my partner on board?
3. What is your approach?
4. Will you take sides?

These are common questions for partners to ask about in an enquiry call or email with me.

Now the overall answer to all of this is "it depends" because the approach is tailored to YOU. Not a prescription we got from a textbook or training. But I incorporate many modalities to best fit and suit YOU and YOUR PARTNER as individuals and as a couple.

To find out a little bit more about my approach or style or clinical modalities pop me a DM or email

🧡Hey Mamas🧡

Feeling overwhelmed by the endless to-do lists and the weight of responsibility? Feeling like your partner has a "get out jail free" card for all the household and family tasks because "he doesn't get it"?

When one partner is carrying significantly more than the other in family life this is what happens👇

• feelings of isolation
• power over dynamics
• intimacy becomes non existent
• resentment takes over

The Mental load of motherhood can feel heavy, but you don't have to carry it all by yourself.

Join my Masterclass "Lighten The Load" .village.collective__ this October where we'll explore practical strategies to share the burden and reclaim your peace in your relationship.

The very survival of the family depends on the happiness of the couple - Esther Perel

Becoming a parent is a beautifully overwhelming time in the couples life cycle. Research has shown that birth trauma can magnify new parent strain leading to ongoing conflict and disconnection (Delicate & Ayers, 2023)

Understanding trauma and its effects is an important factor for overcoming the impact of birth trauma. Women report their partners willingness to listen and understand their distress was pivotal in limiting the impact of birth trauma on their relationship.

A dyadic approach to birth trauma is well supported due to the need for emotional support within the couple and the clear lack of understanding around the impact of trauma as well as the emotional needs of men during this time as well.

We put too much pressure on each other to be there completely for one another. It is clear in the case of post partum and particularly with experiences of birth trauma that couples require extra mental health support and that is absolutely okay. We need to start giving ourselves permission as parents to take care of us too.

We can all too often fall victim to our own shame story.

Ever heard the phrase "kill em with kindness..." well it's the same for that critical inner bully you carry around with you as well. Kill it with kindness!

Now this is easier said than done! We are all on the journey of muting that inner bully and finding some self compassion and kindness.

Alot of my sessions have revolved around rewriting the inner script so being in your own mind isn't so painful anymore.

Sharing your shame story with a therapist can be one of the most healing processes and I am privileged to share those journeys with you.

Learn to turn that inner bully / negative Nelly/ Debbie downer in your mind into your best mate!
