Absolutely thrilled to be able to offer in-person sessions in the beautiful space offered by Your Healing Rooms in Abergavenny. And not only that, I am now pleased to be able to offer a service called Single Session Counselling which could be a good option in certain circumstances, including where time or cost is an issue. I’ll be posting more info here and on my website soon but in the meantime, get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

As you probably know by now, I use ‘creative methods’ to relax my mind and I absolutely, completely, shamelessly LOVE the juxtaposition of sweary cross-stitch 😎

Ever tried something like this? It could be just what you need!

I am very excited to announce I will be hosting a number of small group therapeutic baking workshops over the summer holidays in Newport 👩‍🍳

I would love to see some of you in these sessions! Do get in touch if you have any queries😊

When you know it’s time - it’s time. Mandatory self care day today. Breakfast in bed, walk on the Blorenge (took advantage of randomly high energy levels as so often CFS says ‘no’🤣), good healthy lunch and a bit of Killing Eve. Later, will visit a craft shop to get some sewing supplies so I can spend some time mindfully engaging my creative brain to help me process the week. And being a pluralistic therapist I know that what I need today may be very different to what I need on other occasions - the important thing is to listen to myself and meet my needs in the right way for me at the time.

How are you looking after yourself today? What do you need in this moment? You are worthy of having those needs met, even in the times when you don’t feel it.

Take care, wonderful humans and have a great day x

Been a hot minute since I posted on this page! Shouting out today to all the late or undiagnosed ADHD or AuADHD women out there. The world may have made you feel wrong, broken or a total misfit but here's the thing - you are an incredible human being with some incredible strengths and now it's time to thrive.
