Burnout isn’t just tiredness — it’s when your energy jar runs low and everyday tasks feel heavy. Learn how to identify the shells that deplete your energy and practical steps to replenish your inner strength in our new blog post. Read more: https://wix.to/3GsPuPy

Burnout is more than just feeling tired after a long day. It’s a deep exhaustion that drains your ability to think, care, and cope. Imagine your energy as a vase filled with shells. Each shell represents a part of your capacity to handle daily life—decision making, socializing, working, caring f...

I needed this today 💛.

I needed to remind myself to slow down, to stop thinking ahead, to listen to my own needs, to listen to my body and just breathe again.

I hope that you have been able to listen to what you need today, sometimes we can easily forget to ask, what do I need today?

If you can do one thing today ...let go. Letting go doesn’t mean you are giving up, agreeing with it or liking it.

Let go of that one thing that is taking your energy, that is wearing you down, that you cannot control, that is consuming your mind, that you beat yourself up about, that you hold on to out of fear, shame, embarrassment or for no real benefit to yourself or others.
Growth and change happens when we allow ourselves to flow. Think of yourself as a container, just as a container may hold objects or water once the container is full there is no room for growth or change unless we gently let things out.
If we can listen deeply to our needs, our desires and what truly matters we can start to let go of things. Letting go of holding on and controlling what you already know can create freedom, identity and space for new things to arrive. It provides space to decide what really matters, what you keep, what you let go of, what you cannot control, what you cannot hold on to and what you must let go.
Sometimes we need to let things flow to gain empowerment, to grow and to delve deeper into our own needs.

I love mornings like this, opening up my therapy door to the sounds of birds and the pretty cherry blossom tree ☀️🌸✨️

Last week I received the amazing news I have now gained Accreditation with the BACP and I can now call myself a BACP (Accred) Counsellor.

What this means as an Accredited Counsellor:

Accreditation is not automatic it involves a lot of work and submission of clinical material for evaluation. The BACP accreditation process is a rigorous assessment, involving completing over 450 hours of client work (over 1000 client hours in my case, covering all types of mental health issues, addiction, ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, eating disorder, trauma, complex-trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, grief, complex grief, bereavment, children, young people, adults), evidence of how my therapeutic work meets recognised standards, reflective thinking, management of confidentiality, boundaries and risk and ethical decision making in complex situations.

Accreditation is helpful in understanding how a practioner works and that they are working professionally to high standards within an ethical framework.

Its no secret that people are increasingly turning to A.I for emotional support and whilst I'm not dismissing the benefits of that, research shows that the true value of therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship.

A.I can't replace human to human connection and what happens between nervous systems. Thats where true healing takes place 💚

Asking my cocker spaniel "are you going to be quiet whilst I do my online session?"

How can you not love this sweet face!! 😍

I invite you to reflect for a few minutes. If you were an animal, what animal would you be right now?

Think about strengths, habitats, colours, sizes, skills, relationships, and qualities.
If you have a journal or just grab a pen and paper and doodle everything that comes to mind.
