Look forward to hearing from you and thank you for sharing 😊

I’ve seen many people come to therapy hoping for quick breakthroughs, a flood of advice, or constant emotional release.

But therapy isn’t always dramatic. It’s deliberate, relational, and deeply human.

The real work often looks like:
– Slowly building trust and safety
– Getting (gently!) called out in ways that lead to growth
– Feeling stuck, quiet, or confused and showing up anyway
– Saying the most important thing in the last 5 minutes
– Noticing patterns that have always been there
– Laughing, crying, or sitting in silence and all being valid

Therapy isn’t magic.
It’s meaningful.
It’s messy.
And it works: one step at a time.

If you're in therapy, or thinking about starting, you're doing something brave. Healing doesn't always look like progress, but it is progress. 💙

'What didn't kill you will make you stronger'.
Really isn't true or helpful.

We can be kinder to ourselves and acknowledge what we deal with and experience.

Many life changes can result in trauma, including Bereavement, any kind of loss, divorce, Job loss/issues, family issues. To name a few.

If you feel you have been affected by any of these issues, I am able to help you with this. I work with both children and adults online.

If you would like to book a free consultation with me, please message this page and we can arrange a convenient time for a chat.

Yesterday I went to look around my old school. It's being knocked down and rebuilt. They invited ex-pupils to go for a little tour before it's gone forever.

I left school in the early 90s, so it's been a minute since I left!
I went with a school friend, who remains a great mate of mine and met up with a few others from our year.
The Sports hall still smelt the same! 🤣
We had such fun reminiscing and I totally reconnected with my Inner teenager!
They had lots of pictures on display and to my horror and surprise there was one of me!
I hadn't known this picture existed or how they still had it all these years later!
It unlocked so many memories, and they were actually really happy fun ones! Sometimes it's only the big life changing events we recall easily, which are not always the ones we want to revisit. Often, we tuck the small memories away, that have helped mould us into who we are today.

Here's a picture of 15/16 year old Carly, in my bright orange Naf Naf t-shirt which I loved!
I was a complex teenager, who thought she was cool, rebelled alot, truanted alot but also studied horticulture and became a prefect. I know go figure 🤯🥸🤪
I never thought I would want to step foot back in that place, I didn't particularly enjoy school.

But I'm so glad I went and reconnected with my teenage self!

Would you go and look around your old school if given the opportunity or would you prefer not to revisit that time?

I saw this and had to share!
In my opinion therapy is the biggest gift you'll ever give yourself.
If you put the work in and find the right therapist for you, it can be a transformative process.

Sometimes we push emotions away, the more we push them down the louder and more persistent they can become.

Allow those tears, they will stop eventually. Trust yourself, you're worth it ❤️

Join PCU’s School Counselling Campaign! Are you struggling with precarious funding, working in isolation, or feeling lost in the growing landscape of school-based mental health services? You’re not alone.

School counselling is now the most common form of mental health support for young people, yet school counsellors continue to be underpaid and overlooked compared to colleagues in Higher Education and the NHS. The complexities of funding have left pay and conditions inconsistent – and often below a professional level.

📅 Next Meeting: 6th March, 6.30-8.00pm (via Zoom)
📍 Open to members & non-members – invite your colleagues!

Come and hear about the work PCU is doing to fight for fair pay, better conditions, and proper recognition for school counsellors. Your voice matters – join the discussion and help shape the future of the campaign.

This made me chuckle!
And a Clinical Supervisor!
To add to this crazy, as a Clinical Supervisor, I have supervision of my supervision and my supervisor has supervision of their supervision and the cycle goes on..... and I pay to be supervised on my clients and Counselling supervision....
Ultimately meaning we are all safe, sounds and feels crazy at times, but so is life!

It's Friday!
I am not prepared to acknowledge that today is any other day than Friday.

Do you celebrate the 'V' day or do you also give it a wide berth?
