To the Mums or Dads who feel like their fuel tank is running on empty- a message from a counsellor who works with overwhelmed and exhausted parents.

*. I see you over there, working hard to maintain the work, life balance.

*. I see you worrying about whether your child at Uni has spent all their student loan.

*. I see you writing those shopping lists, trying to create healthy meals that everyone will eat.

*. I see you making planners so that everyone knows when clubs, social meets and appointments are...
( Only for nobody to read them and you still get a WhatsApp asking what time the match is.)

Mum's, Dad's Happy Good Friday.

I'm taking it easy this morning, going at a more gentle pace. Are you?

Or have you added more to your plate by trying to create an Easter that your kids won't forget, but might well leave you exhausted.

Just some food for thought, whether that be hot Cross buns or something else.

Often part of what Mums or Dads who are feeling overwhelmed are saying, is that life feels so heavy as a responsible adult.

If you work with me as a counsellor, we can look at your inner child and see what they are asking you for.

We look at how old patterns may be playing out or how the parts of your younger self that meant so much to you got left behind.

Calling all overwhelmed Mums or Dads.

I cannot stress the importance of having a space where you feel seen, heard and understood.
If you are feeling invisible, or maybe like you have others in your life but they are adding to your load, not reducing it.

I have a place just for you. I am passionate about giving Mums or Dads that space to feel truly understood, no judgement.

I'll be there with you on your journey, while we figure out together how you can come out the other side lighter, and with a better sense of what you do and don't want in your life going forward.

So what are you waiting for?

Drop me an email to book your free 10 minute consultation call, to see if counselling with me, could be the right thing for you.

🔷It's so easy to feel the guilt about almost anything as a parent. We've been conditioned to feel we have to give everything to everyone and everything else.

🔷But here's the thing, there's only 1 of you, so how on earth are you going to do that?????

🔷And where does that leave you on your own to do list?????

❤️So to all the Mums, the Dads, the stepparents and anyone else in a caring role. Drop the guilt about wanting more for yourself. It's perfectly human to want something for yourself that feels like it's your thing.

❤️Remember if you can't show yourself care, love and kindness- how on earth are you going to do it for someone else???

🔷 If you are struggling to drop that guilt, to believe you are worth of self love, self care, self kindness, then drop me an email to book in a consultation call. I love to work with parents or carers who have lost themselves and their sense of worth to find them again.

🔷 I am a counsellor working in person in Dartford and Sidcup and online across the UK.

As a Mum, I didn't lose myself own identity all at once.It happened slowly over time.

Every time I prioritised what my children needed, every time I gave up my favourite dinner to accommodate what they would eat, every time they grew out of their shoes, needing a new pair, so I made do with mine.

Every night when I was too weary to pack all the toys out of sight, so my environment looked like a playroom.

Every time we played their favourite music to bring about the joy, and mine remained not listened to.

Every time I stepped in as referee to keep the peace.

Every eggshell I walked over to ensure everyone was ok.

Now, here's the important thing, it's not that I regret doing any of that, I was their Mum, I loved them and wanted to do my best by them, BUT I forgot myself.

(If my kids are reading this, it's not a guilt trip. It's a reflection)

SO REMEMBER TO REMEMBER YOURSELF

Cook your favourite meal, get the kids to help you pack bits away and put out one thing that's just yours.

Play your favourite music too.

Talk about the hard stuff- don't avoid it (those eggshells are painful)

By giving yourself what you need, you will have much more energy and capacity to give your children what they need too.

IT STARTS WITH YOU

If that first step starts with seeking help from a counsellor who has gone through the process- then drop me an email to book in your consultation call.
