Worries are like that party crasher that just won't leave, popping up uninvited and sticking around! Your brain has a sneaky talent for turning those thoughts into "truths," flooding you with questions that have a million answers, yet somehow you focus on the worst end of the scale.

It's like your mind is a bodyguard trying to shield you from risks, but the downside? You end up paying the hefty price tag of missed opportunities, all because you're too busy fretting over what could go wrong!

It catches me out as well at times; thoughts can be off, and I can help you notice these.

I'm totally on the kids' wavelength here! That Monday blues hit hard, especially when facing the cold and soggy socks for the umpteenth time. Ugh, and don’t get me started on how it turned my sparkling clean windows into a sad mess! Plus, I had a thrilling list of phone calls to tackle—yawn! But hey, at least I enjoyed my client work this morning!

If your little ones are feeling the same, lend an ear and see what's up! Maybe whip up a cheer-up jar to sprinkle some joy back into their day!

Trust is like a delicate sandcastle; it takes ages to sculpt but only a sneeze to topple! At the heart of every relationship, trust is the secret sauce that helps us brave life's wild storms together. But here's the thing: opening up and trusting someone? That’s like jumping into the deep end without a life jacket!

I wouldn't want anyone to jump into therapy with me without a life jacket. That's why I offer a 🆓 introductory call. Get it booked in 📞

Just like that, the half-term break has landed! 🚢⛵⛴️

If you want to glide through this one like a pro, drop a comment below!

Here are some fun tips to keep the vibes chill:

Planning is key - Kids can spiral into boredom faster than you can say “snack time.” They thrive on a little structure, so give them a sneak peek of what’s coming next! Get those negotiations rolling early to find out what everyone needs for a smooth ride. And don’t forget to sprinkle in some rest days to recharge those little ( or not so) batteries!

Change can be trickier than a game of hopscotch! When your kids are missing their pals or the school scene, dive into their emotions with them. Chat about how it might feel if you were the one missing your buddies. Help them label those feelings, and you’ll be their emotional superhero ready to save the day!

Happy Valentine's Day 🌹

Here's hoping everyone has felt loved today in whatever way.
Love is so important, not only in the way we show it to others but also towards ourselves

Please show yourself some love not only today but everyday.

Do you do valentine's with your pets. Show us your pictures ❤️

You can help by creating a cozy space for them to talk.

If they open up, be all eard—resist the urge to jump into action right away. Team up with them and ask how you can tackle the situation together! And hey, find out who they trust at school; everyone needs someone to lean on!

Even you. I can help. Message me if you need support 👂🏼

Are you the go-with-the-flow guru in your squad? Always the chill one when you go out, right? But have you ever caught yourself nodding along while your inner rebel is shouting, "Not today!"? Sometimes, it's worth diving deep to see what’s bubbling beneath the surface. Is there a little fear peeking out from behind that easy-going smile?

When do you bubble most, do you know this and keep it contained?

Got a secret flame flickering inside you that nobody else sees? Maybe you've shouted your thoughts into the void, only to be met with little or no reply leaving you with the "angry one" label!

It’s super frustrating, and hey, being mad is totally valid! I’m here to help you recognize those fiery feelings and find a safe way to let them out.

Drop me a message!

Are you stuck in a “Yes, ok!” loop, like a robot on , and can’t figure out why? Suddenly, you’ve got a to-do list that could rival a novel! Days zoom by, and you barely check in with your own needs.

This habit might have deep roots in your childhood, tangled up with old beliefs from well-meaning parents and teachers. And when you finally muster the courage to say “no,” it’s like a guilt trip comes along for the ride!

When does your guilt kick in?

Does your heart do a happy dance when you think about it? Let's be real—there's nothing quite like finally moving closer to the dream we've been chasing forever! Or scoring a thank-you email that makes you feel like a superstar, or getting recognized for something you did!

It’s super important to pump our kids up and give them a comfy space to spill all the juicy details of their day. If they get used to showcasing their 'wins,' it’ll skyrocket their confidence and let them bask in the glow of pride while showing them you’re genuinely interested in their adventures. And hey, why not flaunt your own wins too? Let’s create a celebration zone! 🎉

"I'm totally fine!" said no one ever, and meant it right? 🥺

Ever feel like you’ve got a tornado of emotions swirling around but can’t find the brainpower to unpack it? Can't face all the questions. I’ve been chatting with some teens about this lately.

You know what you are feeling but are worried about if anyone else can handle you telling them.

Do you have a go-to stash of phrases that dance around the truth? Sure, it's cool to dodge the deep stuff now and then, but where do those feelings end up if you keep them locked away?

Whether you're telling your mate, a teacher, or a therapist, why not give them a voice.—it’s like a mini therapy session waiting to happen!
