I had to share these beautiful, hope-filled words from because I see it every day — the quiet, relentless strength it takes to heal, to keep going, to rebuild.

The mountains people climb, often invisible to those around them, amazes me, and I’m in awe of every single one of you 💛

I have just finished and want to recommend this incredible memoir about intergenerational trauma, by Peggy Bell of

It moved me so much, I read it in one 11-hr sitting!

Set In Belfast,
Peggy's depiction of the ways in which the trauma of poverty, devastating loss, and political and domestic violence can reverberate across generations—until someone is brave and equipped enough to break the cycle—is stunning.

This book is for those who know, or who wish to know, about the task of loving those who have hurt us most; how the experience of being poor runs bone-deep, never quite leaving you; and what it takes to survive the loss of those we love.

It will stay with me for a very long time.

Let me know what you think if you read it ☺️

Kissing — it can be about lust, comfort, safety, or simply connection.

For some, it’s a spark of desire, a prelude to sexual intimacy. For others, it’s a quiet moment of affection. And for many, it’s a mix of both.

Not everyone experiences kissing in the same way—and that’s completely okay. Affection shows up differently for each of us: a lingering glance, a warm hug, a shared laugh, or simply being close.

Whether it stirs passion or peace, the power of physical connection—when it's safe and wanted—can be deeply healing. Sometimes, it says what words can’t.

Reconnect, Heal, and Thrive — Transform Your Relationships and Wellbeing

I work with both couples and individuals who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict, or emotional pain.

Whether you're navigating communication breakdowns, loss of intimacy, or unresolved issues from the past, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where healing and change can take root.

As an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and rekindle intimacy.

With individuals, issues include unresolved childhood experiences, emotional challenges, problematic attachment styles, and relationship dynamics that may be holding them back.

My approach is warm, inclusive, and grounded in deep empathy.

With training in Psychodynamic and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Integrative Humanistic Counselling, and 18 years of experience in social, family, and relationship research, I bring a rich blend of clinical insight and evidence-based understanding to my work.

I work inclusively with clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. You’ll find a confidential, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

**In-person appointments are available in central Brighton.

**Online sessions are offered across the UK and Europe.

Your anxious attachment is something for you to gently take ownership of—not something your partner is meant to carry.

When you project your fears onto them, it’s easy to confuse what you’re feeling with what’s actually happening.

Owning your triggers means holding space for them without expecting your partner to fix them.

Anxious attachment often comes from deep-seated fears like, “People leave. I’m not enough. I need to hold on tightly to feel safe.”

And without awareness, these fears can start shaping how you see your partner’s actions:

Silence feels like rejection.

A little distance feels like abandonment.

A change in tone feels like a warning.

This is when projection happens—when old wounds start blending with the present, and your partner gets caught in the crossfire.

But here’s the gentle truth:

It’s not your partner’s responsibility to constantly reassure you or ease your fears.

It’s your invitation to pause and say: “This feeling is mine. It’s familiar, but it’s not the truth of what’s happening right now.”

Owning your anxious attachment sounds like:

“I’m feeling triggered, so I’m going to take a breath before I respond.”

“I notice I’m afraid, but I know this fear doesn’t mean you’re going anywhere.”

“I’d like to talk about this when we’re both in a calm space, so I can share what I’m feeling without projecting.”

This is how you stop relying on your partner to regulate your emotions and start holding space for yourself.

And this is how love can grow—through awareness, compassion, and a gentle release of old patterns.

If this hits home, save it for the moments you need the reminder.

You’re not overreacting—you’re learning to respond differently.

Leave a comment if you’re working through it too. 🙏
