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?

✨ Shifting Your Focus in 2 Minutes ✨

Last time, I talked about the principle “energy flows where attention goes.” But how do we actually begin to redirect our focus when life feels heavy or overwhelming?

Here’s a simple 2 minute exercise you can try anytime:

Pause & notice - Take a moment to become aware of what you’ve been focusing on today. Is it uplifting or draining?

Gently re-focus - Choose one small thing you feel grateful for right now: a warm drink, a smile, fresh air.

Breathe into it - Close your eyes, take a few slow breaths, and really let yourself feel that sense of gratitude.

💡 It only takes a couple of minutes, but these little shifts, repeated often, begin to re-train your mind to notice more of what nourishes you, and less of what drains you.

🌱 Remember: every thought is a seed. Today, choose one that feels good to water.

✨ Energy Flows Where Attention Goes ✨

Have you ever noticed that the more you focus on something, the bigger it feels in your life?
When we put our attention on worries, frustrations or what we don’t want, we can unintentionally feed them, giving them more space and energy than they deserve.

But the same works in a positive way too.
When we gently shift our focus towards what is working, what brings us peace, or the small steps we can take, we begin to nurture growth, resilience and calm.

This isn’t about pretending everything is perfect, life brings challenges. It’s about recognising where we place our attention, because that’s what shapes how we feel and respond.

Every thought is a seed. 🌱 The question is: what would you like to grow?

Hello Monday, 🌼

A new week is like a fresh page and you get to decide what you will write on it.

You don't need to feel completely ready or have everything mapped out. Start with one small action that feels good and let it set the tone for the days ahead.

This week, remember:
✨ You are capable of more than you think.
✨ Challenges can be opportunities to grow.
✨ Every day is a chance to choose calm, kindness and joy.

Take a deep breath, step into your week and know that you have got this! 💛
