When you’re anxious or overwhelmed, everyday things can start to feel hard.

Progress isn’t about pushing yourself into big leaps.
It’s about taking steady steps and slowly rebuilding trust in yourself.

One honest conversation.
One boundary.
One kind choice just for you.

That’s how you begin to feel more capable.
And that’s how life can start to feel easier.

What could your one small step be today? 👣

Still waiting for things to feel different this year?

We’re part way into January now and if it isn’t turning out how you hoped, you’re not alone.

Change doesn’t happen just because the calendar changes, or because we made big plans for it to. It usually begins with small, gentle shifts that feel manageable.

If today feels like a good moment to begin again, you can start from right where you are.

If you're feeling a bit stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself and you’d like to explore some support, you’re welcome to message me to find out how I can help. 💛

As we slow things down and settle into the festive season, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas 🎄

To those of you I’ve had the privilege of working with this year, thank you for your trust, openness and courage. It has been an honour to be part of your journey.

To those I’ve worked with in the past, I hope you are doing well and taking time to rest, reset and be kind to yourself.

And to those I may work with in the future, I look forward to supporting you when the time is right.

However you’re spending Christmas, I hope it brings moments of calm, comfort and connection, and maybe a little time to simply chill (taking inspiration from my very relaxed festive assistant 🐶).

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a New Year filled with balance, wellbeing and gentle new beginnings 💫 Marie xx

🎄As Christmas approaches, try creating a wish list that isn’t about gifts at all - it’s about how you want to feel as the year closes.

🙏Maybe it’s:

• A clearer mind
• A steadier breath
• A deeper sense of connection
• More trust in yourself
• An easier start to January

Naming what you want to feel helps your mind find small ways to make it happen.
A quieter, more intentional way to round off the year.🧡

Ever notice how one small worry in December can snowball faster than it would at any other time?

It’s not you - it’s the season.
There’s more noise, more pressure, more moving parts. And when life gets busier, the mind often follows.

But here’s something that can make a real difference:

🖐Pause the spiral before it gathers speed.

When you catch your thoughts starting to stack up, try:

• Taking one slow breath, just to interrupt the rush
• Saying out loud (or quietly), “one thing at a time”
• Asking yourself, “what actually needs my attention right now?”

These tiny resets don’t remove the stress - but they stop the feeling of being swept away by it.

A small, steady pause can bring the whole day back into focus.
And in December, that’s a gift in itself. 🧡

✨🎄There’s a busy energy in the air right now but the real reset often hides in the tiny moments we almost overlook.🎄✨

Those small, steadying pauses:

That first warm sip before the day begins.
The breath you take when you pause at the door.
The quiet little win of finishing something simple but satisfying.

This week, allow yourself to notice those moments when they appear.
No pressure to share them.
No need to make them anything more.
Just small pockets of calm that belong to you.

It’s surprising how much those brief, quiet pauses can lift the whole day. 🧡

Can you feel the pace beginning to quicken as December unfolds?

For many people, this is the point where the season starts to feel a little heavier than expected and if that’s you, it’s perfectly okay to notice it.

Before things build any further, here’s a small kindness you can offer yourself:

Choose ONE thing you usually push through and make it lighter.

That might look like:
• Asking for a little help
• Simplifying a task that’s been weighing on you
• Moving something to a calmer day
• Or quietly letting go of something that isn’t essential

Small adjustments really can shift the feel of the whole month.
Go with the pace that feels right for you.🧡

Anxiety isn’t just in your head and it’s not your fault. Visit my blog and learn what anxiety really feels like, why your brain reacts this way and how therapy can help you feel safe again.

Anxiety can feel like a storm inside your body and mind – loud confusing and relentless. It can make everyday situations feel overwhelming and leave you wondering “Why can’t I just relax like everyone else?”If you’ve ever felt this way you’re not alone. And more importantly you’re not ...

I’ve just returned from an incredible training experience in South Africa, and I’m excited to share that I’m now a certified NLP Coach.

The course was inspiring, and I’m so grateful to Terry Elston and his team for creating such a welcoming and energising space to learn in. The whole experience, including the stunning surrounding was genuinely unforgettable.

Integrating NLP into my work alongside Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and EMDR adds another empowering layer to the support I offer. It opens up even more ways to help people create meaningful shifts, break old patterns and move towards who they want to become.

I’m really looking forward to bringing these new skills into my sessions.
If you’re curious about how NLP might help you, just message me I’m always happy to chat.

💚 This week is Stress Awareness Week.

A lovely reminder that we all need moments to pause, breathe, and recharge.

Stress is part of being human but when it builds up, it’s our body’s way of asking for rest and balance.

🌿 Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, stretch, or step outside for fresh air. 🌿

Small pauses like these make a big difference.

If stress or anxiety has been getting in the way lately, I’m here to help! 💚

✨ It’s World Smile Day today 😊
Funny how something so small can brighten a whole moment. So here’s a reminder to smile, at yourself, at someone else, at life. It matters more than you think. 🩷

🌟 Stress is not always the enemy. Sometimes it is a messenger 💌 and sometimes it is a motivator ⚡.

We are often told that stress is harmful and that we should avoid it completely. The truth is, stress plays different roles.

💌 As a messenger, stress is your body and mind’s way of saying that something needs to change. It might be telling you to slow down, to rest, or to put stronger boundaries in place.

⚡ As a motivator, stress can give you the push you need. A short burst of stress can help you focus, energise you, and encourage you to take action. Think about the way a deadline helps you complete a task, or how a little nervous energy can make you perform well in a presentation.

✨ The important part is recognising which role stress is playing in your life. Ask yourself: is my stress guiding me to make changes, or is it giving me the energy to move forward?

🌱 Stress is not always your enemy. When you begin to understand it, it can become a powerful ally.

💬 If stress could speak to you today, what do you think it would say?
