This morning’s walk felt quietly magical with the sun shining on one side of the sky 🌞 and the moon lingering on the other 🌙 both gently vying for my attention. One inviting energy and action, the other reflection and rest.

I noticed how different parts of me were drawn to each 😊

What about you?
Are you a sun person or a moon person?

Every day, in a hundred small ways, children ask:

💬 Do you hear me?
💬 Do you see me?
💬 Do I matter?

Their behaviour often reflects our response...

Connection isn't a reward for good behaviour, it's the path to it ✨️

The quality of your parent-child relationship outranks every other factor in predicting your child's lifelong mental health.

Not your rules. Not your discipline style. Not your parenting techniques. The connection itself 🩵

When was the last time you did nothing? I mean nothing at all, no scrolling on your phone, watching tv, reading (and sleeping doesn't count 😜).

Meditation is a great way to do nothing. To quieten the mind and slow down. It can help us be more present, lower stress & connect better with ourselves and others.

Mediation does not mean sitting crossed legged for hours at a time or emptying our mind completely.

A great way to start is to use guided mediations. You can find these online or as classes to attend face to face.

Start off small (maybe 10 minutes) and see where it takes you... ✨️

Here are some pictures I took on my morning walk today ❄️ 🐦

The weather was wild but I wrapped up warm and enjoyed being the first person to walk through that fresh snow 🌨

Getting out to walk within an hour of waking helps to set your circadian rhythm and oxygenate your brain, setting you up for the day.

New Years Eve is a great time for reflection. I plan to create a calm space to set my intentions for 2026.

How are you spending yours?

As we approach the end of the year, I invite you to reflect on what you would like to focus on in 2026.

I'm not a fan of New Year Resolutions, they are often unachievable and short lived. Instead I prefer the process of manifestation, visualising what we want our lives to look like 👌

Feel free to share in the comments what areas you want to prioritise (using emojis only).

I'll go first...

Many people come to therapy not because they’re broken, but because they’re tired of carrying everything on their own.

Therapy can feel like finally having someone alongside you, helping you make sense of what you feel, rather than rushing you to change it.

You don’t have to do this alone 😘

I often get asked, what will happen during my therapy sessions.

Being a Relational Therapist, I help clients to understand, experience and transform the way they relate to themselves and to others.

Rather than focussing only on symptoms, we may explore psychological difficulties that arose from early relational experiences and are being reenacted in present-day relationships.

A typical therapy journey will include:

🩵 Awareness - The first step to healing is recognising wounds, patterns and triggers.

💙 Acceptance - Embracing every part of yourself without judgment.

🩵 Self-Forgiveness - Understanding that you did the best you could with what you knew at the time.

💙 Expression - Speaking your truth, setting boundaries and expressing your feelings is the
key to emotional freedom.

🩵 Compassion - Healing is not a straight path and setbacks don't mean failure.

If you would like to start your own therapy journey or just want to find out more, please do get in touch on 07757 734501.

The festive season often invites excess... more food, more alcohol, more socialising, more spending, more pressure to feel joyful.

However, excess is rarely just about indulgence; it’s often a way of managing discomfort.

Overdoing can temporarily numb loneliness, grief, anxiety, or unresolved family dynamics that surface at this time of year.

While it may bring short-term relief, excess can leave us feeling dysregulated afterwards — physically depleted, emotionally flat, and disconnected from ourselves.

When we move away from our usual routines, it can be harder to notice what we’re actually feeling. This can make old patterns louder and self-compassion quieter.

I'm not saying to deprive yourself, but to stay curious. To notice when “more” is serving you and when it’s helping you avoid something that might need care instead 😘

As this year comes to a close, I want to wish you all a gentle and nourishing Christmas.

I will have some availability for new clients from January, so if you’re thinking about beginning therapy in the new year, you’d be very welcome to reach out on 07757 734501 or via message.
