Strengthening Minds Therapy

🌿Mental Health social worker and psychotherapist specialising in trauma and neurodivergence, dedicated to helping individuals heal and thrive.🌿

20/07/2025

This is therapy — calm, connected, and child-led.

At Strengthening Minds Therapy, sessions aren’t about ticking boxes or rushing to fix behaviours. They’re about slowing down, tuning in, and creating space for regulation, expression, and growth — especially for children navigating trauma, neurodivergence, or emotional overwhelm.

In this moment, you’ll see:
🌱 A sensory-safe setup
🤝 Genuine presence and attunement
🧠 Children engaging in a way that feels right for them

We focus on co-regulation, not compliance.
On relationship, not routine.
On safety, not performance.

Because real progress doesn’t come from pushing — it comes from feeling seen, supported, and safe enough to try.

🌱 Meet Them Where They Are 🌱

As parents, it’s natural to feel the weight of expectations — from schools, systems, even from ourselves. And when our children aren’t “meeting the standard,” it can bring feelings of pressure, grief, and uncertainty. 💔

But here’s a powerful shift: What if we stop chasing milestones and start meeting our children where they are? 💬

When we pause and truly see our child — not for where we thought they’d be, but for who they are right now — we create space for connection, safety, and growth. 🌈

✨ It means:
• Validating their pace, not rushing it
• Celebrating small wins, not just the big ones
• Letting go of the “shoulds” and leaning into curiosity

When children feel understood rather than corrected, they are more likely to thrive. Their nervous systems settle. Their trust builds. And their confidence begins to bloom — not because they’ve been pushed, but because they’ve been held. 💛

You’re doing your best — and so are they. 💕

🌿 To the person trying to do it all…

🙅‍♀️ You don’t need to explain yourself.
🗣️ You don’t need to justify how you do life, motherhood, work, or healing.
⏳ You don’t need to keep up with anyone else’s timeline or expectations.
💪 You don’t need to prove your worth by how much you can carry.
🔥 You don’t need to hustle for validation or burnout for belonging.
🤐 You don’t need to shrink your truth to make others comfortable.
🧭 You don’t need to follow someone else’s version of “balance” or “success.”

✨ Your way is enough.
✨ Your pace is enough.
✨ Your being is enough.

🌬️ Breathe. You’re doing better than you think. 💛

✨Your mindset matters ✨

It shapes how you see yourself, respond to challenges, and move through the world.

Sometimes, without even realising it, your mindset can disempower you.

Disempowering thoughts sound like:
▪️“I always mess things up”
▪️“I can’t change”
▪️“No one understands me”

These lead to behaviours like:
▪️Avoiding tough things
▪️Shutting down emotionally
▪️Trying to be perfect
▪️People-pleasing just to cope

But when we shift our mindset… everything can change.

Empowered thoughts sound like:
🫶“I’m still learning”
🫶“I can try a new way”
🫶“It’s okay to ask for help”

These lead to:
▪️Taking action
▪️Setting boundaries
▪️Asking for support
▪️Being kind to yourself

✨You show up for everyone, but don’t forget to show up for you too. ✨

This is your gentle reminder to take a moment, pause, and prioritise your own wellbeing this week.
Whether it’s five minutes of stillness or an hour of something that fills your cup— you matter too.

4 Ways Someone Might Be Struggling (That You Might Not See)

1. Smiling through exhaustion 😅 – Behind a smile it could be hiding burnout, stress, or emotional overwhelm.

2. Pulling away 🔕 – Cancelling plans or going quiet might be their way of coping, not pushing you away.

3. Feeling irritable ⚡ – Irritability can be a shield for anxiety, sadness, or feeling out of control.

4. Being “perfect” ✨ – Perfectionism often masks deep self-doubt or a fear of not being good enough.

Let this be a gentle reminder: We never truly know what someone is going through beneath the surface. Be kind. Be patient.
