What are you giving yourself permission for this Sunday?

As we move into the 2nd month of 2026, with the full moon out in full force tonight, I am letting go of the idea of doing things that bring me joy "once I have time, when I've finished all the admin, completed house work, replied to the emails".

I'm ready to say & believe we have this one life, one day, one hour.

I can no longer wait to be ready.

What does your Sunday 1st of February 2026 feel like?

❤️ February is Heart Month

This month is all about raising awareness of heart and circulatory health, and sharing practical ways we can all take small, positive steps to look after our hearts.

Looking after our health is never just one thing — our heart health, mental wellbeing, sleep and stress levels are all connected.

💙 A great reminder to pause, check in, and take care this February.

Good morning to the parents who are always ‘on’.
Advocating. Explaining. Supporting.
Your effort matters - even on the days it doesn’t feel like it ❤️

🌿 30th January 2026 – Parent Mental Health Day 🧠💛

Today we’re recognising Parent Mental Health Day - a moment to honour the emotional wellbeing of parents and carers everywhere. 📅 This annual awareness day shines a light on the vital role that parental mental health plays in the wellbeing of families and children. 

Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs there is - and it’s okay to admit when you’re struggling. Looking after your own mental health doesn’t just help you - it helps your whole family thrive. 🧡

✨ Why it matters:
✔ Parental wellbeing affects family resilience and relationships
✔ Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family
✔ It’s okay to ask for support, rest, and balance in your life 

💡 Today’s reminder:
➡ Pause for a moment of self-care
➡ Talk honestly with someone you trust
➡ Share a resource or support with a parent who might need it

Let’s break the stigma and support strong families - starting with you. 🤝

Parent Mental Health Day – 30th January 💚

Today feels like an important moment to pause and acknowledge something I see every day in my work.

Parents and carers are carrying so much, often silently.

So many parents come into sessions and assessments not realising they are needing space to say the things they are terrified to say out loud.

The exhaustion, frustration, fear and guilt. When they are finally allowed to share these worries , there is often such relief.

This week I was thanked so beautifully by two parents and their 9 year old son, who drew me a poster 💛

Moments like this stay with me because they reflect trust, safety and connection.

Parental and carer mental health matters deeply.

Emotionally, physically and spiritually.

When parents give everything they have to help their children, without space to rest or be heard themselves, their inner hope slowly run dry.

It has to start with you.

What is right for you is right for them.

Looking after yourself is not selfish.

Rest is not failure.

Honesty is not weakness.

If you would like to get in touch, please contact us via the form on our website.

We hope all of our IT migration work will be complete soon and we will be fully back up and running.

There will be pauses, steps back, and days that feel heavier than others - and none of that means you’re failing.
It means you’re human. 🤍

A quick IT systems update ✨💬

We’re carrying out essential IT migration work over the next 2–3 days, which may mean limited access to emails and calendars.

This will not affect patient care.

Thank you for your patience while we get things updated behind the scenes.
