Did You Know That Colours Shape Our Emotions?

We don’t often think about it, but colour is one of the quietest therapists in our environment.
It touches our nervous system, influences our mood, and communicates with the parts of us that words don’t always reach.

Here’s how colour can support emotional wellbeing:

🌿 Green — Regulation & Safety
Green mirrors nature. It signals “you’re safe,” helping the body move out of tension and into calm. When you feel overwhelmed, notice how even a glimpse of plants or natural tones helps your breath soften.

🔵 Blue — Stability & Clarity
Blue slows the heart rate and invites clear thinking. It’s a grounding colour when your mind feels scattered, anxious, or overstimulated.

💛 Yellow — Energy & Hope
Yellow can be uplifting, but also overstimulating if you’re already stressed.

❤️ Red — Activation & Strength
Red grabs the body’s attention. It energises, but can also heighten emotions. It’s useful when you need courage, less useful when you’re trying to settle your nervous system.

🩷 Pink — Compassion & Softening
Pink is associated with gentleness and self-kindness. Many people find it soothing when they’re struggling with self-criticism or emotional vulnerability.

🤍 White — Clarity & Space
White represents new beginnings, simplicity, and emotional room to breathe. It can feel peaceful… or empty, depending on what you’re experiencing internally.

🖤 Black — Depth & Containment
Black often feels grounding. It creates a sense of boundaries and protection, it’s helpful when life feels chaotic or emotionally exposed.

Look around the room you’re in.
Which colour are you most drawn to today?

Ask yourself:
• What emotion do I need more of right now?
• Is it calm, energy, safety, clarity, or softness?

Let colour guide you. It’s a subtle and powerful form of self-regulation.

Love this affirmation from last night’s Echo of Her – Women’s Circle
A gentle reminder that our worth is never something we must chase, prove, or earn.
It rises from within us, steady, ancient, unshakeable.
When we remember who we are, we return to a truth our hearts have always known:
You are worthy simply because you exist.

✨ Remaining Calm When There’s Mayhem Around You ✨

💫 When life feels chaotic, our minds often mirror the noise around us, thoughts race, emotions surge, and it can feel like we’re losing our centre.
But calm isn’t about shutting the world out. It’s about staying connected to yourself within it.

In moments of mayhem, try this gentle approach:

💫 Pause before you absorb. Notice what’s happening inside you before you react to what’s happening around you. A slow, steady breath can remind your body that you are safe, even if everything feels uncertain.

💫 Anchor in the present. Feel your feet on the floor, notice the air around you, bring your attention back to this moment. When we ground ourselves, the noise loses some of its power.

💫 Remember what you can and cannot control. You don’t have to hold it all. It’s okay to step back, to choose peace over participation in the chaos.

💫 Let calm be your response, not your retreat. Staying calm doesn’t mean you’re detached, it means you’re self-aware and steady, even when the world wobbles.

Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is breathe deeply, stay present, and remind ourselves: I can be calm here, even now.

🕊️ Reflection:
Take a few minutes to ask yourself:
What helps me feel anchored when life feels chaotic?
Where in my life could I practise choosing calm rather than reacting to chaos?

Your calm is not weakness. It’s wisdom. 💫

Sometimes we get stuck replaying the past like it’s the only story we have. But life keeps happening in the direction we’re facing, not the direction we’ve been. You don’t owe your past any more explanations. You don’t have to keep reopening old chapters to make sense of who you are now. Look forward. New doors don’t open behind you. 💫

Taking time to rest, breathe, and listen to your needs keeps you grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself. When you care for you, everything else becomes lighter, clearer, and easier to carry. 💛

Do you ever feel out of sorts?

Some days, it’s hard to pinpoint what’s wrong, you just know something feels off.

You might feel restless, disconnected, or unusually sensitive. That’s your mind’s way of saying, “I need some attention too.”

Therapy isn’t only for crises. It’s a space to slow down, make sense of the fog, and reconnect with yourself.
You don’t have to have it all figured out,you just have to be willing to show up. 💛

“NO-VEMBER”

How about This month you say no to overcommitting, overthinking, and people-pleasing.

Instead, say yes to rest, reflection, and recognising how far you’ve come.

Therapy isn’t about becoming a “new” you, it’s about remembering who you were before the world told you otherwise.

So it’s another Friday morning… and that can only mean one thing… coffee and chatter! ☕

There’s something wonderfully grounding about these little rituals, the shared laughter, the gentle catching-up, and the dreaming aloud about what’s next. They feed the soul, spark creativity, and remind us how powerful connection really is.

Here’s to good coffee and meaningful conversation.

What’s your comfort zone?

✨ Ever just been cruising through life when, out of nowhere, someone asks you to do something that fills you with absolute dread? Suddenly your body screams nope! and you’ll do anything to avoid it.

That feeling? That’s your comfort zone saying, “I don’t like this!”

But here’s the magic bit, when you take a deep breath and do it anyway, how do you feel afterwards?
Usually… proud. Accomplished. Maybe even a little more confident.

Every time you take that small step beyond what feels safe, your comfort zone expands, and so does your sense of what’s possible.

Keep stretching. You’re growing more than you think. 💫

✨ Releasing the Past Isn’t Forgetting — It’s Freedom ✨

✨The past can’t be changed, but how you carry it can.
Every time you find yourself reacting from old pain, defensiveness, fear, shutting down, I t’s your mind trying to protect you. But those reactions are built for who you were, not who you’re becoming ✨

✨ When you begin to heal, you start to notice your triggers without letting them take over. You pause before reacting. You choose differently.
That’s where transformation begins, not in erasing the past, but in responding to the present with new awareness and self-compassion ✨

✨ You don’t have to keep reliving old stories.
You can write a new one, one choice, one breath, one moment at a time ✨

💫Slow Sundays are sacred 💫

✨Sundays don’t have to be about rushing or “getting everything done.”
They’re a gentle pause, a chance to refill your cup before a new week begins✨

✨Spend time with the people who make you laugh.
Enjoy a lazy coffee, a walk, or a good chat.
Let yourself exhale, you’ve earned it ✨

✨And when the evening comes, set quiet intentions for the week ahead.
A little planning, a little dreaming, and a lot of self-kindness go a long way✨

✨ Here’s to peaceful Sundays, soft resets, and starting the week grounded and calm✨

☕ A Cuppa & a Chat — Small Moments, Big Difference.

✨Sometimes, the simplest things can make the biggest difference to our wellbeing, like sitting down with someone for a cuppa and a chat.
A bit of conversation, a laugh, or just being listened to can ease stress, lift your mood, and remind you that you’re not alone.

✨If the idea of coming into a therapy room feels a little daunting, that’s okay. We can start with something gentler, meeting for a coffee and a chat in a setting that feels more familiar and comfortable for you.

Therapy doesn’t always have to start with a couch and deep questions, sometimes it begins with a friendly chat over a warm drink. ❤️
