Piece of Mind You’re not broken. You’re carrying what you were never meant to carry alone. Therapy and training that changes lives — including yours. Based in Glasgow.

Online and in-person. Just getting by is no fun. I understand what it’s like to feel the utter despair of living with an unwanted feeling or behaviour, frustrated you can’t live life the way you want to and worrying about the future. It’s exhausting. I also get you’ve probably tried numerous remedies and therapies. Some may have offered you temporary relief. But that’s just deflating. But, here’s the thing. You don’t have to put up with unwanted fear, phobias, anxiety, depression and habits. I’ve helped thousands of people get back to the lives they deserve, so that life can be good again.

The new episode of The Tickety Boo Podcast is out today… and this one genuinely made us laugh.
Somehow we ended up talking about whether ChatGPT knows us better than actual people do — and honestly, it got a bit too close for comfort.

It’s one of those episodes where nothing is planned, the conversation just rolls, and before you know it we’re knee-deep in real life, overthinking, humour and the stuff we all pretend we’re not doing.

If you need something easy to listen to today — something funny, honest, a bit chaotic and very “us” — stick this one on.

Most people don’t change because they’re ready.
They change because life finally knocks the legs from under them.

Burnout.
A panic attack that comes out of nowhere.
A moment where you say yes when you’re screaming no inside.
A breakdown in the car when you’ve “held it together” for too long.

And I get it...you’re busy, you’re trying to be strong, you’re trying to be ok.
You keep telling yourself you’ll deal with it later.

But later usually shows up at a time you really don't need it to.
And that’s the bit I wish more people understood.

You don’t have to wait until you’re on the floor, done in, fed up, exhausted, and full of fear, before you make a change.
You can do something now before the crash comes.
Before your nervous system waves the white flag.
Before life hits you with something you could’ve avoided.

If you’re already feeling it creeping in…
if you’re already stretched too thin…
if you’re already saying “I can’t keep going like this”…

You don’t have to.
You’re allowed to get help before everything falls apart.

If you need a chat or a free consultation, drop me a message.

Taking a long, hard look at yourself sounds simple until you actually do it.

Most people avoid it, not because they’re in denial, but because they already know what’s there.
They just don’t feel ready to face it.

We stay in friendships and relationships that don’t make us happy because leaving feels like failure.
We keep habits that drain us because they’re familiar.
We keep hoping things will somehow change on their own
and in the meantime, we call it “coping.”

The thing is nothing changes until you stop pretending you’re okay with how things are.
And that moment that first honest look is the hardest part.

It’s not about tearing yourself apart.
It’s about finally telling the truth: “This isn’t working for me anymore.”

That’s not weakness.
That’s the start of freedom.

If that voice in your head’s been whispering that something needs to change, maybe it’s time to stop pushing it down.
Because the moment you stop avoiding yourself, everything starts to shift.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your mental health isn’t another podcast, another self-help book, or another scroll through Instagram looking for answers.

It’s stepping away from the sadness rectangle (your phone 😅), getting outside, laughing with real people, and actually living for a while.

We underestimate how healing it is to do things that make us feel alive not productive, not useful, just alive.
A walk, a drive, a night with friends, something new that reminds your nervous system that the world isn’t all deadlines and worry.

You don’t have to earn joy.
You don’t need to fix yourself before you’re allowed to have fun.
You’re allowed to laugh, even when life still feels heavy.

Maybe that’s your prescription for this week —
Less scrolling, more living.

“Lovely jubbly!”

That’s what Del Boy would’ve said that night and from the outside, it probably looked like I was living my best life.
Dressed up. Laughing. Surrounded by people.
From the outside, it looks like confidence.

What you don’t see is that twenty minutes before this was taken, I was pacing my hotel room, trying to breathe through another wave of panic.
I remember the tight chest, the dizziness, the “what if this happens in front of everyone” spiral.
I almost didn’t go.

At that point in my life, I was overweight, exhausted, and crippled with anxiety.
I’d learned to perform “I’m fine” so well that most people had no idea what was going on underneath.
The fear of someone seeing my struggle made me feel lonelier than actually being alone ever could.

That’s the thing about anxiety it doesn’t care what your life looks like on the outside.
You can have friends, success, laughter… and still feel like you’re drowning quietly behind it all.

I get that now and it’s why I do what I do.
Because no one should have to keep pretending they’re okay just to get through the day.

If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to keep holding it in.
Drop me a message or book a free consultation there’s help, and there’s hope.

Funny how you can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone.
It’s not the attention we miss it’s feeling understood.
That ache for someone who really gets it? That’s loneliness at its most honest.

“I can’t stop.”
That’s what people say until something makes them.

A health scare.
An accident.
A burnout that hits so hard you don’t have a choice anymore.

You can stop.
You just don’t believe you can yet.
And if you don’t make that decision yourself, eventually your body will make it for you.

We talk about this in the episode titled The Power of Doing Nothing
How sometimes life forces the pause you’ve been avoiding… and how you don’t have to wait until it does.

There’s something that happens when life knocks you about enough times
you stop trusting as easily.

You build walls, keep your circle tight, and tell yourself,
“It’s fine, I’ll just handle it.”

You throw yourself into work.
Into helping others.
Into staying busy.
Because being useful still makes you feel like you have a place in the world.

But somewhere along the way, you stop noticing that you’ve slipped to the bottom of your own list.
You keep showing up, but it doesn’t feel the same anymore.
You laugh, but it doesn’t feel the way it used to.

And maybe you start to wonder if the version of you that used to feel alive is still in there somewhere
or if life just turned you into someone who gets through the day.

If that sounds familiar… maybe it’s time to slow down.
Not to start over, but to find yourself again in what’s left.

Because you haven’t lost it.
You’ve just forgotten what it feels like to be you.

Drop me a message or book a free consultation if you’re ready to start finding your way back.

Health anxiety is just anxiety with the word health stuck in front of it but this form of anxiety turns your own body into the threat.

Most people I see with health anxiety have already been to the doctor.
They’ve had the tests. They’ve been told they’re fine.
And that reassurance helps… for a day or two.
Then the doubt creeps back in, and you start looking for reassurance again.

Because life’s full of uncertainty, your brain tries to find answers it starts doom-scrolling, searching symptoms, looking for proof that the worry is real.
And every time you do, your brain goes, “See? I told you something’s wrong.”
It reads those suggestions of illness as instructions and your body follows.
The more you check, the more your body reacts.
That’s the health anxiety loop in action.

You’re not making it up.
Your brain’s just locked into survival mode scanning for danger and trying to keep you safe.
It just hasn’t realised that you’re the thing it’s scared of.

That loop can be broken.
And there are simple ways to retrain the brain to calm down and stop scanning for threats.
If this sounds familiar, drop me a DM or book a free consultation.
We’ll start there.

Sometimes the more you try to solve something, the further away the answer gets.

That’s because your conscious mind is noisy it’s busy analysing, fixing, doing.
But the answers don’t live there.
They sit underneath it all, in the quiet.

You know that moment when you’ve been wrestling with a problem for days, then suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and it’s just… there?
That’s your unconscious mind doing its thing.
It’s what happens when your nervous system resets, when you finally stop thinking long enough to listen.

🎙️ From The Power of Doing Nothing — last week’s Tickety Boo Podcast episode.
Now on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.

It’s not those big life events that break you.
It’s the constant holding it together, the quiet pretending, the “I’m fine” when you’re not.
Although it feels like failure it's actually fatigue.
Even strength gets tired sometimes.

In this Tickety Boo card pull episode, we had no clue where the conversation would go…
Until we pulled the question:
“What’s your top priority for the rest of the year?”

What followed was a raw, honest chat about the deeper stuff most people avoid:
The patterns we keep repeating
Wanting more balance, but not knowing how
Why peace is so hard to choose when chaos feels familiar
And the difference between setting goals… and setting yourself free

If your head’s been noisy and you’re craving some space to reflect this one’s for you.
