An emotional rollercoaster which can be complex, emotional, and overwhelming.

Therapy can offer a space to reflect, process, and feel supported through every stage of the journey including what comes after.

You deserve support beyond the process itself.

Do you have a safe space to discuss your experience? If not, please get in touch 💫💚

Disclaimer - my journey, my experience, the messy aftermath nobody wants to talk about!

Adoption can be a beautiful journey, but it’s not always a straight path. For those of us who’ve walked it, the ‘happy ending’ can often be filled with hidden struggles, grief, triggers, and emotions that linger long after the papers are signed. As an adoptive parent myself and a therapist who truly gets it, I’m here to offer support through the messy, complex aftermath. You don’t have to go through it alone 💫💚

You would be suprised how often family dynamics, roles & responsibilities come up in the therapy room.
Clients feeling stuck in the 'I have too', 'it's just the way it is' mentality, but if your family dynamics or lack of boundaries are causing you upset, then you don't 'have' to continue this way.

These experiences can leave you feeling trapped, conflicted, and emotionally drained.

Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns,
find your voice, and explore healthier ways of relating at your own pace.

Change doesn’t have to mean conflict.

😔😥

Are you struggling with…

• Low mood or feeling emotionally drained
• Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
• Low self-esteem or self-worth
• Constant self-criticism or doubt
• Feeling “not good enough” despite trying your best

You may be coping on the outside while feeling exhausted or lost on the inside.

Therapy can offer a safe space to explore what’s beneath these feelings without judgement, pressure, or expectation.

Reach out if this resonates with you 💫💚

Benefits of Therapy

(Why people come & what therapy offers)

'You don’t have to be in crisis to come to therapy.'

Therapy isn’t about being “broken” or having all the answers.
It’s a space where you can:

✨ Feel heard without judgement
✨ Understand why you feel the way you do
✨ Build confidence and self-worth
✨ Learn healthier boundaries
✨ Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
✨ Heal from loss, grief, or trauma
✨ Improve relationships — including the one with yourself

Sometimes people come with one issue…
and along the way discover so much more about themselves.

You deserve support, clarity, and compassion — not just survival.

Therapy is an investment in you.

🌕 The Cold Moon/Wolf Moon 🌕 3rd Jan

The Cold Moon rises in the deep heart of winter,
when the nights are long and the world is quiet.

This is not a moon of rushing forward.
It asks us to listen, conserve energy, and tend to what truly matters.
Ways we can honour this moon at home:
🌕Sit with the quiet
Turn off unnecessary noise. Light a candle. Let stillness speak.
🌕Tend to your hearth
Cook something warm, simply make your home feel held and safe.
🌕 Reflect on belonging
Where do you feel supported and held? Where do you need stronger boundaries?
🌕 Release what drains you
Write down habits, thoughts, or worries that no longer serve you. Fold the paper away or safely release it.
🌕 Rest without guilt
The Cold Moon honours rest as wisdom, not weakness.
This moon reminds us:
You do not need to bloom in winter.
You need only endure, listen, and stay true to yourself.

Happy New Year ✨️❤️

I know a new year can bring pressure to change, improve, or 'start over.'

This year, maybe the intention isn’t to become someone or something new —
but to choose yourself, again and again, in the ways that are possible for you.

Showing up for yourself — even quietly, even imperfectly — is brave.
And it matters.

Here’s to a year of choosing you.

Happy Hogmanay 💙

Over the next few days, you may see lots of posts about how amazing people’s years were, everything they achieved in 2025, or the big goals they’re setting for 2026.

This is your reminder that it’s okay if all you did this year was survive.
It’s okay if you survived a struggle, a season, or a circumstance that no one else really saw.
It’s okay if you don’t have big goals for 2026.
It’s okay if New Year’s Day feels like just another day.

Whether you’re celebrating or simply getting through — all of it is valid.

Everyone is different, and everyone deserves space to feel exactly how they feel.

If you survived, that took strength.
If you’re struggling to see happiness, direction, or how to reach goals or dreams — or if your only goal right now is to keep surviving — that takes strength too.

Whether you believe in intentions or not, take a moment to acknowledge you — the strength you hold, and what you have already overcome.

As we move into 2026, I pray that everyone experiences love, good health, hope, and healing — in whatever way that looks like for you. 🤍

✨️🤍 I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me this year — whether you trusted me with your journey, reached out, liked or shared a post, sent a message of encouragement, or recommended me to someone else. None of it goes unnoticed, and it has truly meant more than you know.

I feel incredibly grateful and humbled to have been so busy in my very first year in business. So many people have shared that they found me through a recommendation, and that speaks volumes about the power of kindness, connection, and community.

Social media often gets a bad name, but when used with care and compassion, it can be a powerful tool for support, awareness, and helping people find their way to the right support. Even the smallest action — a share, a kind comment, or a quiet recommendation — can make a real difference.

I’m also very aware that Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many. Please be gentle and kind to yourself. Christmas looks different for everyone, and it doesn’t have to be “perfect”.

If you’re struggling and feel you might need a kind voice or listening ear, support is available:
• Lifeline: 0800 808 8000
• Samaritans: 116 123

Whether our paths crossed briefly or our work continues into the new year, thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and your support. I wish you a safe and healthy Christmas, and I genuinely hope that 2026 brings love, healing, and blessings for you and your loved ones. 🤍✨
