Some parents are tired. Others are bone-deep exhausted.

If you’re constantly running on empty, snapping at small things, or feeling guilty for not enjoying parenting—you might be experiencing parental burnout.

It doesn’t mean you don’t love your children. It means you’ve been giving more than you’ve been able to refill. 💛

Our latest blog explores what parental burnout really is, why it’s so common (especially for parents of neurodivergent or high-needs kids), and gentle, practical steps to help you recover your balance.

People pleasing often comes from such a good place—kindness, care, wanting to avoid conflict—but over time it can take a toll. Burnout, resentment, anxiety, even losing sight of your own needs.

We pulled together a new blog that looks at:
👉 why people pleasing develops
👉 the subtle signs you might not notice
👉 gentle strategies to start creating boundaries

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no, then this one might resonate:

People pleasing comes from care and kindness—but it also comes from fear and drains us. Learn how to stand up for yourself and set boundaries

Ever wondered “When should I see a therapist?”
You don’t need to wait for a crisis — therapy can help with stress, burnout, relationships, or simply gaining clarity about your next steps.

In this blog, we explore the signs it may be time to seek support, what to expect in your first session, and how therapy can benefit your wellbeing.

We’re seeing more people using ChatGPT for mental health support. It’s easy, available 24/7, and can feel like a safe space to “talk.”

But AI isn’t therapy. Psychologists bring real empathy, understanding, and personalised care that technology just can’t match.

We wrote a short blog looking at why people are turning to ChatGPT, what it can (and can’t) offer, and why psychologists are still so important.

Do you know the signs of gaslighting in relationships?
They often sound like everyday comments, but repeated over time, they chip away at your confidence and self-trust.

Here are some common ones:

❌ “That never happened.”
😶 “You’re imagining things.”
🙄 “You’re too sensitive.”
🔄 “You’re overreacting.”
👉 “It’s your fault.”

Gaslighting is more than just a disagreement — it’s a repeated pattern of emotional manipulation. Recognising the signs is the first step towards recovery.

Many autistic adults are living with significant anxiety that’s hidden behind years of masking. Outwardly they may seem calm and capable, but internally they’re navigating constant self-monitoring, sensory strain, and the pressure to “pass” in environments not built for them.

We’ve written a new blog to help explain this experience, why it’s often overlooked, and what can help — for both the person masking as well as the people around them.

Anxiety and masking often go hand-in-hand for autistic adults. Learn why it happens, how it feels, and what helps.

😩😰We talk about anxiety a lot — but do we always know what it actually is?

In our latest blog, we unpack some of the confusion around “anxiety symptoms”. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot, but not everything uncomfortable is anxiety — and not all anxiety looks the way you'd expect.

📢This one’s especially for adults who seem to “function fine” but are quietly exhausted underneath it all!

We hope it helps make things a little clearer ...and a little less lonely! 🩷
