October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)

Domestic violence is when someone uses control, fear, or harm against their partner or family member – this can be physical, emotional, sexual, or financial. It is about one person exerting power and control over another, and it can affect people of any gender, age, culture, or background.

The reality in the UK:
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime
- Every year 2.3 million adults are affected
- On average one woman is killed by a partner or ex partner every 5 days

Survivors deserve safety, support and solidarity.

If you would like to talk about what you are going through in a safe space, please get in touch with me today. I’m here for you.

Yesterday I attended an amazing event at Christchurch University for the Baton Of Hope passing through Canterbury on its journey around the country.
This represents a journey of hope – of moving bravely away from the darkness of despair and, with encouragement and support, discovering a way into the light and a brighter future.

Being a part of the worlds biggest su***de prevention campaign yesterday included attending a wellbeing fair, listening to a beautiful choir performance and then engaging with an excellent talk by mental health advocate Ben Wells. It was a privilege to be part of it, even as a bystander.

Being a part of su***de prevention tomorrow, and every other day, means:
Breaking the stigma.
Campaigning for change.
Being a role model.

Keep talking.
Keep listening.
Keep hope alive.

September is Su***de Awareness Month

Su***de is never an easy subject to talk about - but it’s one that truly matters.

If you’ve ever had thoughts of ending your life, please know this:
You are not broken.
You are not a burden.
You are human and you are hurting.

As a therapist, I want to remind you that even in the darkest moments, hope can still be found. Talking to someone who will listen without judgment can make all the difference.

If you are struggling right now, please reach out - whether to a loved one, a professional, or a crisis helpline. The Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123.

You deserve to be heard.
You deserve support.
You are not alone.
You matter.

I hear this a lot from my clients, that they feel guilty or less worthy of support because other people have 'had it worse'.
They are right - there is always someone who has experienced something worse than we have.
However that does not mean that our pain is not valid and important. Your emotional experience is valid no matter what your situation is and minimising your it doesn't lessen the hurt and pain you might be feeling.
If you'd like a safe non judgemental space to talk it through, please get in touch

Therapy is not just for when you're crying in the shower, eating cereal out of the box or when everything falls apart.

It’s for when you’re ready.
To grow.
To understand yourself better.
To stop old patterns.
To heal things you’ve been carrying for years.
To feel more connected and more in control.

You don’t need to be having a crisis to start therapy.
You just need to be curious about yourself and what’s possible.

If this sounds like it appeals then please get in touch.

Resharing this very important post today.
If you need someone to talk to please get in touch.

For some of us, when the world feels dark, we can take a step back from the news to look after our mental health. For others, we’re fearing for friends and family’s safety and reliving past traumas. Remember to check in on the people around you. If any of the events are impacting you in any way, whatever that may be, we’re here for you.

Many people struggle with mental health and it can affect anyone of any age, background or status.
However a lot of people hesitate to seek support because they worry they will be judged or like they 'should be able to handle it on their own'.
Having therapy is not about being 'weak' and it is not about fixing you - because you are not broken.
Good therapy is about healing, self awareness and growth.
It's about reconnecting with your inner strength - even if you can't feel it yet.
It's a positive, proactive step toward understanding yourself better and taking control of your mental health.
If you are considering it, please get in touch with me for a free 20 -30 minute initial consultation.
