Managing anxiety and stress starts with kindness towards yourself.

When feelings overwhelm, try these gentle strategies:

1. Pause and breathe slowly, counting to four as you inhale and exhale. This calms your nervous system and brings you back to the present.
2. Create small daily routines that offer comfort and predictability; whether it’s a morning stretch or a brief walk outside.
3. Honour your need for rest by setting a soothing bedtime ritual that helps quiet your mind.

Remember, it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Compassion for yourself creates space for healing and resilience.

If anxiety feels too heavy, reaching out for therapeutic support can be a powerful act of self-care. You don’t have to carry this alone.

What small act of kindness towards yourself feels possible today?

Small steps can lead to big changes, especially when it comes to building emotional resilience.

When life feels overwhelming, the idea of changing your emotional wellbeing might seem daunting. But resilience isn’t built overnight. It grows gently, through simple, manageable habits that nurture your strength and calm.

Here are a few gentle habits to consider:

1. Pause and breathe deeply for a few moments each day.
2. Write down one thing you’re grateful for or one small win.
3. Reach out to someone you trust, even if it’s just to say hello.
4. Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

These small actions help you create a steady foundation. Over time, they build your capacity to cope with setbacks and stress.

One client shared how starting with just a five-minute breathing practice helped them feel less overwhelmed during work stress. It was a simple step, but it made a world of difference.

What gentle habit might you try today to nurture your emotional resilience?

Remember, healing and growth happen at your pace. You don’t have to do it all at once.

Take a few gentle moments to slow down and breathe. I have created a free guided safe space visualisation to help you unwind and feel grounded. In this recording you will walk along a peaceful path to a quiet beach with turquoise water, soft white sand and the sound of gentle waves. It is a calm place you can return to whenever you need steadying or ease.
You can download it for free through my website. Settle your body, press play and give yourself a few minutes of calm.

Therapy should never be about fitting people into boxes. It should be about understanding how each person experiences the world, and helping them thrive in their own way. That’s what neuro-affirming therapy is all about — and it’s the focus of my latest blog for Wobble.
I wanted to share how this approach can make therapy more inclusive, compassionate, and genuinely supportive for neurodivergent people.

The quiet power of setting boundaries lies in kindness to yourself and others.

Boundaries protect your wellbeing. They are gentle acts of self-respect that create space for healing and growth. Saying no doesn't mean shutting people out; it means honouring your needs without guilt or fear.

It's okay to choose where your energy flows. This choice is a form of kindness that nurtures your strength and peace.

What small boundary might you honour today to protect your wellbeing?

Anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, especially when life's demands never seem to ease. But managing them doesn't have to mean pushing harder or pretending everything is fine.

You deserve compassionate strategies that honour where you are right now, not where you think you should be. Small, gentle steps can create space for relief and resilience in your daily life.

Try this:

1. Pause and breathe deeply when you notice tension rising. Even three slow breaths can help ground you.
2. Name what you're feeling without judgement. "I notice I'm anxious" is a powerful recognition.
3. Choose one manageable action, a walk, a cup of tea, a quiet moment, to nurture yourself.
4. Remind yourself it's okay to ask for support or take time out.

These simple acts of self-honour create a foundation for healing. They remind you that you're not alone, and that your feelings matter.

Remember, managing anxiety and stress is not about perfection. It's about kindness to yourself, one moment at a time.

Trauma isn't just about what happened, it's what still lingers in your body and mind.

EMDR therapy offers a gentle, safe way to process those painful memories without needing to relive every detail. Using eye movements or tapping, it helps your brain reframe distressing experiences, easing their hold on you.

You don't have to carry this weight alone or rush the healing. At Place to Talk Therapies, we walk beside you, at your pace, honouring your story and your strength.

If part of you feels stuck in the past, EMDR might be the key to feeling safe again in the present.

Healing meets honour. One step at a time is enough.

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy is more than a label, it's a caring way to honour how your mind works and the story you carry.

This approach sees your strengths alongside your challenges, whether you have ADHD, autism, or another way of experiencing the world. It creates a safe place where you can feel truly understood and supported, focusing on building your resilience rather than changing who you are.

Who can benefit? Anyone who has felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or pushed to fit a mould that doesn't suit them. It's for those ready to accept their true self, heal old wounds, and grow with kindness and respect.

Authenticity is the gentle compass guiding your healing path.

When you allow yourself to be truly seen, without masks or apologies, you create space for real growth and self-compassion.

Your story, in all its unique colours, holds the key to your strength and wholeness.

What would it feel like to honour every part of yourself, even the parts you've been taught to hide?

Here, you are safe to explore, to heal, and to rediscover your true self.

I have added a new set of hand buzzers to support EMDR sessions, creating a steady rhythmic focus that helps the nervous system process what has felt stuck. Clients often describe this as a gentle way to move through memories that carry tension or overwhelm. These tools sit alongside the wider EMDR framework to guide the mind toward clarity and a calmer internal pace. If this is something you would like to explore, you are welcome to ask about availability.

Breaking the silence around grief is one of the kindest gifts you can give yourself.

Grief is deeply personal and often feels overwhelming, but talking about it gently honours your pain and helps you begin to heal. Sharing your story can lighten the load and open a path to understanding and hope.

You don't have to carry this alone. There is strength in vulnerability and courage in every small step towards being heard.

What would help you feel a little lighter today?
