Wylde Counsel lunch break check-in ❤️

07/04/2026

5-minute pre-work settle-in… I don’t usually do ALL of this. Even one of these simple practices support me to feel ready to support people from a place of embodiment (because I’m showing up for myself first). Delicious!

How fast are you prepping dinner tonight? Are you peeling your potatoes like your life DEPENDS on it? (Hint: potato peeling is not an emergency, I often remind myself of this). The way that we go about our day to day small tasks signals messages to our bodies… Here are some small shifts I remind myself to practice when I need to signal more safety to my nervous system. Small things like this done often makes ALL the difference 🩵

Some of my current favourite fidgets! Or things I see clients reach for. Big fan of all things

Ok so this snippet was just meant to go up as a story but then I thought, why not give it a a permanent home on the old grid.

Links to book with myself are in our insta bio (or just visit the Wylde Counsel website). If you have been seeking extra support for the season you are in, I am offering individual, couples, or family therapy; Trauma/tension release exercises (TRE) and creative therapy.

I’m so looking forward to heading back into the beautiful Wylde Counsel space next week after a restorative break. What a privilege it is to do this work.

Online booking options for Emma will be coming soon (she is currently fully booked so not much point just yet!)

Go gently 🌻

Both Chelsea and I are passionate about our clinical work in the somatic counselling space and supporting our clients is a joy. We are also aware of our own limitations and the need to rebuild, restore and rest.

So we are making a regular practice of TRE-ing together so we can facilitate each other's experience and enjoy shaking it out side by side. There may be tears, funky body things and usually laughter but we go with whatever the body is doing in the moment. It is quite beautiful to be supported in this way.

Now of course we are refreshed and ready to offer the same support for people who want to explore TRE and its benefits. We are hoping that is you:)

We are thrilled to have Stuart join our team! Here’s a beautiful little write up from him…

I am a curious, gentle man who has had the pleasure of many years of walking alongside others and in my own joys and trials I have experienced the support of others alongside me.

I believe we are meant to do life in relationship, yet so often relationships come with complications and confusion. Sadly, at times we can end up so hurt and lost we don’t even get along with ourselves let alone others. This is where life can become really grey.

Yet there is always hope! Life can and does change! When we learn how to befriend ourselves and interact with others in healthier ways, life can become so much richer.

With a healthy dose of self compassion we can grab a hold of the courage we need to learn how to flex with the challenges that life brings while at the same time find meaning and joy.

I am a qualified Counsellor with a Masters and Bachelor in Counselling, I am also qualified in Clinical Hypnosis through ASHWA and I am qualified in Internal Family Systems via IFSCA.

My clinical experience includes specialising in addiction, trauma and working with people with various relationship and mental health challenges.

For those of you who speak “psycho babble”, I work primarily from an Internal Family Systems perspective while also tapping into other modalities such as Person Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focussed Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis.

For those of you who are averse to “psycho babble” I believe the most crucial relationship we have is with ourselves. Yet so many of us go through life mostly as strangers to ourselves, knowing that if we did look inside we would have to acknowledge it’s a mess in there!

I am passionate and committed to creating a safe space for people to shift from talking about their “mess” to sitting with it and then having healing encounters with the various parts which come into focus.

With this shift comes a deep experiential healing and the ability to lead our system from our true self with all its wisdom and compassion and courage.

Working with people is both joyous and challenging. To offer the best of myself day after day means taking good care of myself.

Whether it is a quick stretch or TRE in between sessions or ducking outside to get some sun into my face, or taking the time to walk up to the park and literally ground, it is all supportive.

What might you be able to add into your work day that offers you some nurture and care? All jobs require work of some kind and we can all find quick, creative ways to break up the hours and re-energise.

If you have any practices that work well for you please feel free to share. Let's be a community that cares for each other as well as ourselves. We are all precious humans after all. 🙂

Once the last present is opened, the last toast shared, the last guest has gone, and the resolutions dropped, it is back to the mundane...back to ourselves.

Often this is when we realise we are still not satisfied, that all the celebrations have not filled the void or changed our reality.

Though painful, this may also be a beautiful opportunity to reflect on the person we are and to dream of who we may like to grow into.

We all have the ability to grow and change even into old age. It's never too late to learn to self regulate, to manage relational conflict, to offer self-compassion and to befriend all the parts of ourselves.

What areas of your life are you wanting to grow in?

As Dr. Maya Shankar said "The reason we often have so much discomfort in the face of change is because it threatens our identity and sense of self."

Support is available as you explore and enter into the discomfort necessary to unlock the growth you desire for 2024 one small step at a time. 🌱

As a kid, do you remember imaging the scary thing under your bed? The most terrifying few steps was from the bed to the light switch when it felt like you might be eaten. But once the light was on, suddenly the scary thing wasn't so scary, or so big or so 'there.'

Our inner world can feel a bit like 'under the bed' and something that may eat us up.
But if we find a trusted friend and/or a trauma informed therapist, who can take those steps with us to switch that light on, be with us on our knees and help us look around - in supported, manageable moments- it can be incredibly healing, empowering and life-giving.

The alternative is not knowing ourselves and leaving parts of us that might be fearful, hurting or traumatised to fend for themselves in the dark. And of course this lack of awareness leaks out into the everyday, often causing harm to ourselves, our relationships and our lives.

It takes a lot of inner resources to avoid ourselves. The path of self awareness, healing and growth also uses a lot of resource. But it is ultimately liberating!

There are people who will get on their knees with you, when the time comes to turn the light on in your life.💡

What sensations come up for you, in your body as you read this? Tightness? Breath-holding? Some sort of resistance? Yep...me too.

Humans are wired for connection - most of us are aware of a deep longing to be known by and close to our significant, safe others. And yet intimacy can be one of the most difficult and challenging places to navigate in our relationships.

How can we grow in this area? Can we become people who bravely desire and work towards healthy intimacy with others whilst exploring the darkest places of our inner world?

Bringing some light into it can be a good start, otherwise we can stumble around feeling quite along in our own darkness. The light might include a conversation with a trusted friend, joining a group that encourages and challenges or seeking support from a therapist. There are still good people who have/are facing their own darkness and are 'safe enough' to offer the help you might need.

This quote finishes by saying, "Let's not hope that this won't happen - let's hope that it does!" May I too be courageous enough to desire deep closeness and get the light and the helping hands I need to keep me traveling the path of healing. 🌱
