“EMDR has been life-changing. I absolutely love it.”

It’s so encouraging to hear Lily Allen speak openly about her experience of EMDR therapy on the Miss Me? podcast.

She describes how a recent session helped her explore her relationship with money and self-worth, such a powerful reminder that EMDR isn’t only for ‘big T’ trauma. It can also gently uncover the beliefs, patterns, and past experiences that shape how we see ourselves and move through everyday life.

EMDR can support healing on many levels, from trauma processing to self-esteem, attachment wounds, and long-held negative beliefs.

If you’re curious about how EMDR works, this is a lovely, honest listen.

🥾Birthday Hike Reflections ⛰️

A birthday spent exactly how I love it most! out on the trails, surrounded by nature (and, of course, my dogs 🐾).

Spending time outdoors is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support our wellbeing:

✨ Boosts mood and reduces stress
✨ Improves focus and emotional regulation
✨ Supports physical health and sleep
✨ Encourages mindfulness and gratitude
✨ Strengthens our sense of connection to nature, ourselves, and those we walk beside

As therapists (and humans😄), it’s easy to forget that our own regulation and nourishment matter too. Time in nature is one of my favourite ways to reset and reflect, a reminder that slowing down is part of the work, not separate from it.

Here’s to more mindful miles, muddy paws, and moments of stillness 🥾🥾🌿💚🐾🤎🥾🥾

🐈🐈‍⬛🧍🧍🏽‍♀️🧍‍♂️🧍🏽‍♂️🐕‍🦺🦮
🧘🏽‍♂️Movement and connection are powerful ways to ease the ‘freeze state’.
Yet when we’re frozen, we often withdraw and turn inward.

The way back to balance is rarely the direction we expect

Sometimes, balance is found by doing what feels unexpected⚖️

“It’s hard to connect to someone who is unwilling to connect to themselves.”

In therapy, we often notice how our relationships mirror the relationship we hold with ourselves. When someone struggles to sit with their own feelings, needs, or history, it can be difficult for them to allow real closeness with others.

In EMDR and psychotherapy, we gently begin with that inner connection, noticing sensations in the body, exploring emotions safely, and building resources that help us feel steady. As clients strengthen their capacity to stay with themselves, their ability to connect outwardly often grows too.

This doesn’t mean blame, it’s about compassion. Many people avoid connection with themselves because of past pain, shame, or trauma. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to turn inward, at a pace that feels safe, and discover that we can meet ourselves with curiosity rather than fear.

The more we connect with who we are, the more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling our connections with others become. 🩶💛💚♎️
