“Practice equals progress.”

It sounds simple, but it’s honestly one of the hardest things.
Because practice means patience.

It means doing the thing when it’s uncomfortable, when you’d rather not, when change feels too far away.

In therapy, we see this all the time - people wanting to feel better before they start practising the thing that helps them feel better. But it doesn’t work that way.

The practice is the progress.

Each time you pause before reacting, take a breath, notice your body, or speak a boundary - that’s it. That’s the work.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s real. And it’s how things start to shift.

Talking helps us understand what’s happened - but it’s not the whole story.

Healing means bringing the body into the conversation, too. 💭

Here at SJP Wellbeing we often work with people whose nervous systems feel stuck in survival - sometimes from trauma, sometimes from neurodivergence, sometimes from simply living in a world that asks too much.

That’s why we blend talk therapy with body-based (somatic) approaches like brainspotting, movement, expressive and narrative work, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

These aren’t quick fixes - they’re ways to create more space in your body, your thoughts, and your choices.

When we start to understand not just what happened, but how our body has held it all, healing becomes possible.

It’s not about becoming someone new, it’s about coming home to yourself.

✨ You deserve care that meets all of you, mind, body, and story.

There’s no single roadmap for this work - not for learning, not for loving, not for healing. 🌿

Some days it’s reflection and stillness.

Other days it’s messy, emotional, beautifully human.

What matters isn’t how it looks from the outside - it’s that you keep showing up with gentleness for yourself.

Because your way is the right way, when it honours your pace, your story, and your truth.

Sometimes healing starts with something as simple as feeling safe in the room.

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed.”

It’s about being met - with curiosity, respect, and care.

Every conversation, every moment of laughter or pause, is part of the work.

Because when people feel seen and supported as they are, real change becomes possible.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about connection. 🤍

What happened to you matters. It shaped how your nervous system protects you, how you connect, and how you move through the world. 🌿

Healing is more than recovery - it’s integration. It’s learning to understand how your experiences live in the body and gently creating new pathways for safety, trust, and connection.

In our work together, we focus on compassion and evidence-based care - holding space for both your story and your growth.

Healing isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about reclaiming your agency, rebuilding self-trust, and allowing who you’re becoming to take shape with care and intention. 💛

Ever wondered what it’s like to talk to a counsellor — but held back because you’re not sure they could really help?

You’re not alone.
Many people worry their situation is too complex, too personal, or too “big” to bring to an intern counsellor. That makes total sense - opening up can feel risky when you’re not sure what to expect.

That’s why Elissa, our fantastic intern counsellor, is offering free 15-minute discovery calls all day this Friday.

It’s a gentle, no-pressure way to see what support could look like for you.

You’ll get a feel for how Elissa works, (or she can talk you through the other team members too) ask questions, and find out how counselling (even with an intern) might make a real difference.

Elissa draws on her corporate background and passion for workplace wellbeing to support people with:

🌿 Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
🌿 Burnout, boundaries, and people-pleasing
🌿 Navigating toxic or high-pressure workplaces
🌿 Rebuilding self-esteem and confidence
🌿 Relationship and family challenges
🌿 Adjusting to change or uncertainty

Elissa works under the professional supervision of our senior therapists and is part of the SJP Wellbeing team.

Sometimes, that first conversation is what turns hesitation into hope.

📅 Free 15-minute Discovery Calls – all day this Friday
💻 Online or phone call

At the heart of SJP Wellbeing - it’s people. Always. 🤍

Our work begins and ends with who someone is - not what’s “wrong” with them, not their diagnosis, not the label they’ve been given.

We call it our Person First Pathway - a way of working that centres you as the expert in your own life.

We don’t sit above, we sit beside. We collaborate. We listen. We adapt every part of our work to fit the person in front of us, not the other way around.

Each of our clinicians has their own areas of training and preferred modalities, but we never start from a method. We start from you.

From your story, your pace, your goals.

Because therapy shouldn’t be about hierarchy - it should be about humanity.
And every person deserves to be met that way.

✨ Person first. Always.

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

Have you ever wondered why trauma doesn’t just disappear- even when you can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong?

That’s because trauma lives in the body as much as the mind. You may feel it as headaches, tight muscles, restless nights, or sudden overwhelm - even when nothing “bad” is happening.

When left unaddressed, these body-held responses can grow louder over time. They may show up as chronic stress, anxiety, disconnection from yourself, or physical pain.

Healing asks us to listen to both mind and body. To release what’s stuck, restore balance to the nervous system, and reconnect with our own inner safety.

Because true healing doesn’t mean ignoring the body. It means finally letting it speak.

You’re not expected to fit into a template. And neither is healing.

My name’s Leanne - a counsellor and psychotherapist with a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy, a Grad Dip, a BA in Theatre Studies, and a Dip in Human Services (HR).

I bring creativity and care to every session - weaving in art, music, play, mindfulness, narrative therapy, CBT, ACT, and the Gottman Method - depending on what helps you feel seen and supported.

Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I’m here to help you reclaim your voice - with compassion, curiosity, and a bit of lightness in the process.

If this sounds like the support you’ve been looking for, I’d love to walk alongside your journey. Sessions available face-to-face in Smithfield and online

✨ Your brain, your way.

So often, people with ADHD grow up hearing they’re lazy, careless, or not living up to their potential.

Our 6-week ADHD Coaching program is designed to support you with:

🔹 Personalised strategies for focus and daily life
🔹 Tools for managing symptoms without shame
🔹 Space to process and heal from past experiences
🔹 Confidence in building routines that actually fit you

This isn’t about forcing yourself into a system that doesn’t work.

It’s about creating support that meets you where you are - so you can move through life with more clarity, self-trust, and ease.
