👩‍🎓✨ A Transformative Journey Completed ✨

I am so grateful and proud to share that I have achieved a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy at Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute.

Not a bad result for a foreign girl navigating academic study in her second language and with my menopausal brain— a reminder that we all have potential and capacity to grow, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is to step into the unknown and create meaningful change for ourselves.

For the past 3.5 years, I’ve been climbing many steps, overcoming personal challenges, and finding grounding while walking the quiet, beautiful streets around Nottingham Castle. This journey has shaped me both professionally and personally.

I leave behind:
📚 countless books devoured
🛋️ 250+ clinical hours in charity & low-cost counselling services
❤️‍🩹 110+ hours of personal therapy
🙌🏼 100+ hours of clinical supervision
🧠 many hours of research & study
✍️ endless pages of self-reflection & journaling
💻 many assignments & a dissertation on “Somatisation of Grief”

What a transformative journey it has been — and now, with deep gratitude, I’m ready to step into the next chapter.

✨ I’ll be welcoming new clients in Derby and Nottingham soon ✨

With love & gratitude,
Alena 💜

🍂 Hello September 🍂

🌍 Happy Earth Day 🌏
Today, we honour our greatest teacher — our Mother Earth. She guides us with every breeze, bloom, stone, and storm. A gentle reminder that all we need to feel, hold, and honour is already around and within us ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

“Earth, Teach Me”
A Ute Prayer, Native American

Earth teach me quiet — as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering — as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility — as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring — as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage — as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation — as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom — as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance — as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal — as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself — as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness — as dry fields weep with rain.

Let us walk gently. Let us listen deeply.
Let us honour what is felt and sacred.

…In the midst of words, I return to breath…
🧠 🫁
As I journey through the final stages of my degree, I’m reminded more than ever of the power of pause, presence, and embodiment. While my mind is busy with research and reflection, my body still calls for grounding—and yoga practices remains my anchor.
⚓️ 🌳
That’s why I’m still holding space for our regular Tuesday evening online yoga classes—gentle, accessible, and grounding midweek moment to reconnect with yourself.
🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️
And I’m excited to invite you to my next RESTorative Yoga Workshop—a slow, soothing space to settle your nervous system, restore your energy, and simply be.
This will be the last one before autumn, so if you’ve been meaning to join, this is your invitation to peaceful space of the

Yesterday, we stood in balance—equal light, equal dark—as the Spring Equinox marked a powerful shift. I enjoyed bathing in the golden light, feeling the warmth of new beginnings and the energy of renewal.
☀️
From here, the days will grow longer, the nights shorter, and nature will awaken in its fullest expression. With the Sun now in Aries, the astrological new year begins—a time to cleanse, reset, and plant the seeds of what we wish to grow.
🌱
If the start of 2025 felt slow, now is the moment to welcome fresh energy, breathe in possibility, and step forward with intention. What are you calling in this season? 🌞🌿✨🌼

I am diving deep into dissertation reading and immersing myself in “The Grieving Body” by Mary O’Connor, PhD, who is a renowned researcher specialising in the psychological and physiological effects of grief. Her work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and bereavement studies.
🧠 👥😶‍🌫️
This book resonates deeply, as I once experienced grief in a profoundly somatic way—there was a time when my pain was so overwhelming that I simply could not move. Now, 12 years on, I’m not only researching grief and its effect, but also working in bereavement counseling, helping others understand and process their grieving experiences.
⛈️☁️🌤️
I use my embodied skills from my yoga background & practice to work with the body, recognising how grief is held and expressed physically

✨March’s Awakening ✨

March hums a quiet melody,
a bridge between frost and bloom,
where winter lingers in soft goodbyes,
yet spring begins to make its room.
🌱
The river stirs beneath the thaw,
boats rock gentle, lost in thought,
adrift like me—between the seasons,
seeking flow where change is wrought.
⛵️
Petals push through earth still shivering,
bold in their delicate display,
as I, in my winter hat,
step forward, shedding yesterday.
🌷
The winds still whisper of frozen days,
but sunlight calls my name—
March is the dance of in-between,
and I am learning to do the same.

As we say goodbye to 2024 and step into 2025, I want to wish you joy, peace, good health, fulfilment and growth in the year ahead. While I personally celebrate new beginnings with the Spring Equinox, today is still a meaningful time to reflect and honor the journey we’ve been on,

Winter is a season of reflection, stillness, and introspection—a time to pause and turn inward. For many, however, this season is deeply tied to grief, where the holidays bring memories of loss and the quietness of winter mirrors the ache within.
😌
It’s okay if you’re not celebrating this year. If the idea of joy feels distant or forced, know that honoring your grief is an act of mindfulness in itself. Winter invites us to embrace our emotions without judgment, to nurture our hearts with patience, and to seek moments of tranquility amidst the darkness.
🌑
Grief changes the way we experience time and seasons. The world outside may be rushing into festivities, but you have permission to move at your own pace. Rest when you need to, allow space for reflection, and give yourself the grace to just be.

Winter reminds us to:
🌨️ Welcome all feelings, even the heavy ones.
☕️ Nurture yourself with compassion and care.
❄️Find moments of calm and stillness.
💙 Release the need to meet expectations.
🌊 Find your flow and trust that no feelings are permanent .
If this season feels more like surviving than celebrating, you’re not alone. Take it one moment at a time, and know that your journey, in all its complexity, is valid.
