Sometimes getting to a session can feel like a lot, especially when life is already heavy.

So this is your gentle reminder that all sessions can be moved to Telehealth/online sessions, no questions asked.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, low on energy, unwell, are away for work, live far away, trying to avoid having to use the petrol stations or just need the comfort of your own space, we can still connect.

Telehealth can look like:
- staying in your safe, familiar environment
- no travel time or rushing
- more flexibility on harder days

Support doesn’t have to be all or nothing, we can be flexible to make support work for you.

You can make a booking for a Telehealth counselling session online via my website anytime, no referral needed.

Part 2 - These may be a little less generic and more applicable for therapy with me (as I can’t speak for anyone else) but I think they speak a lot to the way I hope I show up for people and what they will get from me.

Like :

- I am here for the life updates! We may not spend a whole hour on them when there is serious work to be done, but if you have been to a Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran concert recently, got a new puppy, been away, made a veggie patch and these things light you up, then yes I want to see and hear all about it because being able to experience joy even in the midst of hard things is an important part of our work.

- A big resounding YES you can bring your little people or even little animals with you (if it’s something you want to do). I will try to remain professional, but if you require a professional baby cuddler during your session, it is another skill set of mine and I am not adverse to using it! Babies make noise, sometimes they make mess, I get it, I have been there and it’s all if it happens in session.

- I am not just here for the struggling and challenging times, I am genuinely excited when something we have been working on (that could be anything from a job interview, communication with a loved one, boundaries, saying no, saying yes etc) comes to fruition. Trust me when I say I can high five you AND pass you the box of tissues.

- Ours is a therapeutic relationship, so there are important boundaries and power dynamics that I need to be aware of and honour. In saying that, if you want to share any big announcements or events with me, it’s honestly such a privilege for me to give witness to your important moments in life. You may never see it, but I have happy dances at texts!

- Even though it can sometimes be very hard for me to reign in a big “oh hey it’s you” smile and wave when I see clients out and about in public, it is part of my confidentiality agreement not to initiate contact so you don’t have to have an awkward “um who was that” moment if you’d rather not. BUT if you engage with me - game on and you are so welcome to!

CREATING CALM - your online course supporting you to better understand stress & and anxiety then put together your own tool lot of strategies and practices that help you feel more grounded and I control when stress shows up (because let’s face it - it does!)

I have decided to drop the price of the course from $279 to the early bird special of $209 as we are living in uneasy and uncertain times and every day I am hearing and witnessing how that is adding to peoples stress and anxiety (mine too!)

And it’s in times like that, thay focusing on what we can control and taking care of ourselves in small, consistent ways really matters.

CREATING CALM can also be paid off in 4 weekly instalments (all via my website) but if you are in financial distress please reach out to me privately ❤️❤️

Sometimes having someone witness, acknowledge and hold space for our pain in challenging times can be more powerful than you could imagine.

Grief is strange.

It doesn’t leave.
It just… changes its settings.

—

Today’s update:

Sadness: high
Numbness: intermittent
Love: still running in the background
(using more memory than expected)

—

You can be fine at 10:12am
and then suddenly not fine at 10:13am
because of a song, a smell, or absolutely nothing.

Very stable system.

—

There is no “back to normal.”

There is just…
learning how to live
with a new operating system.

—

So if today feels heavy, slow, or slightly unreal…

nothing has gone wrong.

The system is processing.

—

Please allow for longer load times.

—

And if you feel called to support others through moments like this—
with presence, care, and actual tools that help…

The language we use and the ways we speak to ourselves is powerful. Try adding the word YET to any negative or deprecating statements you make about yourself and see what changes.

Sometimes it’s not that you don’t understand yourself…
it’s that your nervous system hasn’t had the chance to fully process what’s been carried.

You might be functioning, showing up, holding it all together, but underneath, things still feel stuck, heavy, or easily triggered.

EMDR intensives offer a space to gently and deeply process what’s been sitting there, without stretching it out over months of weekly sessions.

A more focused, supported way to move through what’s been holding you back.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out 🤍

More than one thing can be true at the same time.

I can talk about glimmers, finding things to be grateful for and doing things that make you feel good.

AND it’s also okay and realistic to acknowledge that we all might face times where we feel more overwhelmed, uncertain and finding things difficult.

There can be incredible things in your life and things that suck at the same time.

This has come up a lot in sessions this week so I felt like it could be helpful to share with a wider audience.

Looking for the helpful, inspiring, good and fulfilling things in life is a helpful tool and I will always encourage ways to do that in this space, so long as it’s not used to distract, avoid and ignore the crappy things too because we exist in a world where there are both - so it’s ok if you’re not happy “all of the time”.

You are allowed to feel grateful for some things and disappointed in others.

You are allowed to feel joy and despair all at once.

You are allowed to feel excitement and dread.

You are allowed to feel hopeful and scared.

You are allowed to feel calm and rage.

You are allowed to feel love and grief.

So whilst I will encourage doing small things you can control and that feel nice (call a friend, a hot cup of tea, sitting in the sun, reducing time on social media) I hope you also give yourself permission to freely feel and express that today sucks when it does.

I guess what I am trying to say is it’s human and ok to feel more than one thing at a time, keep looking for the good in things but make space ALL the things you feel.

This is my today sucks sometimes reminder mug ❤️
