Today is , so here’s a reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big and bold to be impactful.

In fact, research shows that charity doesn’t just benefit whoever you’re helping either. Acts of generosity boost mood, reduce stress and strengthen your sense of connection.

Charity can be as simple or grand as you like; you can check in on a neighbour or friend, volunteer for an organisation, donate clothes to a charity shop or even just listen to someone as they talk through their worries.

Charity doesn’t just help those who need it. Whether you’re giving or receiving, it eases isolation, builds community and supports wellbeing.

You’ve probably heard of “fight or flight”... but have you heard of 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞?

Instead of fighting or running away, some people respond by freezing - they might zone out or go blank, feel paralysed or unable to move, or just go emotionally numb.

Like fight and flight, freeze is another way your nervous system protects you when it senses danger without a clear escape.

So don’t worry if you freeze up sometimes - you’re not lazy or broken. Your body’s just overwhelmed and doing its best to keep you safe.

Therapy helps you recognise these patterns, calm your nervous system and build tools to get you moving whenever you feel stuck.

In a world where we type faster than we think, writing a letter feels more special than ever before.

World Letter Writing Day is a reminder of the power behind pen & paper…

𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝: Letters often give you the courage to share feelings you would usually keep locked away.
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Putting your thoughts down on paper can help you untangle your thoughts and emotions.
𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐆𝐨: Writing letters you don’t even mean to send can lighten the load of past hurt or worries.
𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬: A handwritten note means more than a hundred texts.
𝐁𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟: Try writing yourself a letter you would love to get from a friend, full of compassion and encouragement.

Why not take five minutes today to write a short letter? It can be to a loved one, your future self or even someone you’ll never even send it to.

It might just be a small act of reflection, but it might just open your heart as well.

Healing isn’t usually loud.

It might be as quiet and simple as finally sleeping through the night, speaking up without your voice shaking, or facing a trigger without panicking.

These changes might seem quiet and go unnoticed… but they’re major signs of healing you should be proud of.

Healing isn’t loud and it isn’t instant - but small steps like this count, and they’re worth celebrating.

30/08/2025

It’s hard to imagine a peaceful, easy-going life when you’ve been struggling for so long.

In fact, struggling can become a way of life for some people, sometimes to the point where they can’t imagine who they would be without anxiety.

Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms though. It’s about rediscovering who you are behind the pain.

You’re not defined by your struggle. The bits of you that enjoy hobbies, create art and connect with friends are who you truly are.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed without even knowing why…?

That could be an 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

Emotional flashbacks don’t replay images and events in your mind like normal memory flashbacks. Instead, they bring back all the 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 - even if you’d rather forget them.

Fear, shame, panic, sadness... They can all bubble up to the surface at a moment’s notice. It doesn’t mean you’re extra sensitive or overreacting though. It just means your nervous system is still carrying all that pain you never properly processed.

Therapy can help you understand this, teaching you how to stay calm and separate the past from the present.

“That’s not true… They’re just being nice…”

Sound familiar? If you’ve ever said something like this, you’re not alone. Lots of people actually find compliments uncomfortable - sometimes even painful!

That’s often because your self-worth has been so wounded in the past that praise can feel… strange. Those old criticisms drown out any kind words and make you reluctant to accept compliments.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬.

Most of the time, they are genuine ways people see you in real life, and there’s no shame in accepting them.

Many people work on rebuilding their self-worth in therapy, letting you appreciate the compliments you receive - and even believe them too!

Beyond their wagging tails and muddy pawprints, dogs carry some quiet wisdom we should all listen to…

❤️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, showing more compassion than we can possibly imagine.
⏳ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, focusing on the joys in front of them instead of worrying about the past or future.
⏰ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, reminding us that stability isn’t boring - it helps us stay calm!
⚽ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲, showing us that joy is important no matter your age.
🤝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥, showing the power of safe and long-lasting connections.

Lots of dog owners admit that they learn more from their dogs than they ever thought was possible. That’s because these are more than just doggy quirks - they’re valuable lessons in resilience, balance and joy.

On , take a little dog wisdom with you - love fully, rest often, play more and always live in the moment.

You don’t need a wagging tail to live like a dog!

Notting Hill Carnival is more than just a party.

It’s a celebration of community, culture, music and self-expression.

Whenever we come together to dance, laugh and spread a bit of joy, it’s not just about having fun. It’s an important way to build connections, reduce stress and give our minds a break from the daily grind.

In fact, celebration is a powerful part of healing. It reminds us how important joy is, and that making space for happiness is central to our mental wellbeing.

So whether or not you’re headed to this year, here’s to colour, culture and connections!

Ever wished you could pause for a moment before reacting? That’s where mentalisation can come in handy.

Mentalising is all about understanding your own thoughts, feelings and intentions, as well as other people’s.

It can reduce conflict in conversations, help you respond instead of react, reduce emotional overwhelm and strengthen relationships.

Mentalisation is a skill you need to practice, and therapy can help you perfect it. It’s something you’ll come across alongside DBT and other integrative models when therapists want to help you have more space between what you 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 and what you 𝘥𝘰.

If you want to get better at responding and not reacting, with more calm, clarity and better communication, then mentalisation could be a great place to start!

22/08/2025

You probably think guilt and shame are similar, but they actually work very differently.

𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 is focused on your actions more than your identity, and it can actually help you to grow and repair.

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞 focuses on you as a problem, potentially shutting you down and damaging your self-esteem.

One is about making amends, while the other is about feeling unworthy - and it’s hard to tell the two apart by yourself.

In therapy, we work to separate the two, turning guilt into a tool for change and making sure shame doesn’t hold as much power over you.

GCSE results can be strange. They can make you cheer, make you cry or sometimes make you scratch your head in confusion… But no matter your results, they’re just one chapter in your story.

GCSEs can feel huge at the time, but they’re not the be all and end all. Results are just the first step. You need to…
• Celebrate everything you’ve achieved
• Reflect on what you enjoyed and what challenged you
• Explore all the routes available, including ones you hadn’t thought of before
• Make a short-term plan to keep yourself moving forward
• Reach out for support if you need it

GCSEs are just the start of your path, and there are still plenty of ways forward. The choice is yours!
