Happy Sunday! ❄️

One Sunday a month, I offer sessions to clients who otherwise struggle to attend in person on a weekly basis due to distance, work/family commitments, etc.

This flexibility communicates care for the people that I support ❤️

I will be seeing clients on the following Sundays:
✅ November 23rd
✅ December 14th

If you would like to book a session on any of these dates, please let me know. As always, these Sunday appointments are available on a first come basis.

Wishing you all a restful and restorative Sunday, and a peaceful start to your week ahead! ✨🙏

🐾 Happy 2nd Birthday to my little Buddhist monks, Jackson and Ruby!

They bring such a steady, grounding presence into my home and my life. Every day they remind me to slow down, regulate my nervous system, and stay connected to the small moments that bring peace and joy.

Jackson has his thoughtful, serious little face, watching the world like a tiny philosopher. Ruby brings her soft, sleepy energy, finding comfort in every cosy spot she can claim. Together they create a quiet kind of magic in the house.

They remind me that love ought to be gentle, steady, and felt beyond words. I am so grateful for the endless ways they bring balance, peace, and love into my life.

Hello November 🍂 A month of…

🍁 Giving thanks not just for what we have, but for how far we’ve come

🍁 Slowing down and turning inward as the season invites rest and reflection

🍁 Caring for our hearts, minds and bodies as we move through shorter, darker days

🍁 Honouring that seasonal sadness is real, and that gentle routines help us find balance again

🍁 Gathering with loved ones and letting connection be medicine

🍁 Trusting that this season of stillness is preparing us for renewal

📚Lately I’ve been returning to Brené Brown’s “Braving the Wilderness,” a book that feels especially relevant this time of year.

She talks about the difference between “fitting in” and “true belonging.” Fitting in requires us to change who we are. Belonging asks us to be fully ourselves, even when that means standing alone.

In therapy, this is often where the real work begins: learning to trust that our authentic self is enough, and that we can hold steady even when others don’t understand our choices.

As the days grow darker and quieter, winter invites that same kind of inner wilderness: slowing down, solitude, and long, quiet nights. Winter invites us to reconnect with who we really are beyond the noise and busyness of the daily grind. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s deeply healing.

If you’re feeling a little lost or lonely this season, this book might be a welcome companion.

✨🖤 One part science, one part magic 🖤✨

Psychotherapy might not come with cauldrons or broomsticks, but it does involve a bit of alchemy: transforming pain into meaning, fear into self-trust, and darkness into insight ✨

Today feels like the perfect day to honour the witchy side of the work, the intuition, empathy, and quiet power that happens when two humans sit in a room and something shifts.

Happy Halloween 🪄🖤

🍂Letting go isn’t always easy, but it’s often necessary.

Letting go allows us to create space for change, growth, and new beginnings.

Just like the autumn trees, we all reach moments where holding on stunts our growth.

When that happens, it’s okay to release what’s no longer serving you: a habit, a pattern, a relationship, an expectation.

Let this season be a reminder that letting go can also be moving forward into a new season of life.

Recently, I was chatting with a psychodynamic colleague who asked, with a raised eyebrow and a hint of disapproval, “Why do you accept gifts from clients?”

Clearly, we think very differently about our work and the people we work with.

I smiled and said, “Because it’s a demonstration of love and appreciation.”

This conversation was sparked because a client recently gifted me this beautiful little plant and said, “Thank you for helping me grow.” 🥹💗

If you look around, you’ll see that my therapy room is filled with trinkets and treasures lovingly gifted to me over the years. These are small reminders of the people I’ve walked alongside and each one carries meaning: a symbol of gratitude, growth, or transformation. (Of course, I’m keeping them!)

As a psychotherapist, I hold space for both the depth of the work and the gestures that come from it. Because therapy, at its heart, is relational - it’s personal - so if you’re a therapist, don’t be afraid to let your humanness shine 🌱✨

📖 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I wanted to share one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read on this subject: Living with the Dominator by Pat Craven

You might not know this, but before I opened my private practice, I worked in a women’s refuge centre that specialised in domestic abuse and r**e. It was there, that I began to truly understand how pervasive and insidious abuse can be.

So often, people say, “But they didn’t hit me.”

Abuse isn’t only physical or sexual. It can also be emotional, psychological, financial, and even spiritual (think: misogyny masquerading as religion)

This book explains the sneaky, subtle, and manipulative ways that control and domination can show up in abusive relationships.

It’s one of the best tools I’ve ever used, whether you’re a professional in the field, someone seeking understanding, or someone trying to make sense of their own experiences.

I highly recommend this book 💜

Sober October is an invitation to reset, recharge, and discover life without alcohol.

🌟 The benefits are real: better sleep, clearer focus, calmer mood, more energy, and often, a deeper connection with yourself and the people you love.

You don’t have to do it perfectly; it’s more about living with intention. These small strategies can make the journey smoother and more rewarding.

👉 Which one of these tips do you think would help you most?

🍁 Leaning into autumn’s full arrival, with its crisp mornings, golden leaves, and a slower rhythm that invites rest and reflection.

🍁 Carrying forward September’s gratitude and beginning to prepare for the final months of the year with intention and care.

🍁 Honouring balance between light and dark, activity and rest, letting go and holding on.

🍂 Witnessing nature showing us the beauty in change.

🍁 Embracing both grounding and possibility, noticing the quiet transformations happening within and around us.
