Hi all - I last worked face-to-face on Tuesday, 17th March 2020!
So long ago!

As of this week, I will be offering both online and face-to-face sessions.

Why not get in touch if you would like a free consultation.

Most of us may feel this way sometimes 🩷
You are too important to feel not good enough!

Christmas can be a tough time of year for all sorts of reasons – bereavement, loneliness, social anxiety, being cash-strapped, you name it.

If you're struggling, we want you to know we're here for you and hope that the Christmas coping tips on our website prove helpful 💙

This is so true 🩷

Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.
Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.
My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.
So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.
Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.

Today is the start of The Good Grief Trust's National Grief Awareness Week. The theme this year is 'Shine a Light'.

A Child of Mine feels passionate that adequate bereavement support is available to everyone no matter the circumstances of their grief. We support this campaign to 'Shine a light on people, places and projects' and build awareness of all the bereavement services across the UK whilst remembering all those that we have lost.

Together we are stronger 💛

Save this post as a reminder. Autumn is well and truly here which means that the clocks will go back an hour in the early hours of Sunday morning! We will have more sunlight in the mornings and an extra hour on Sunday. But this also means that the days are getting colder and darker which can be tricky. If the change in season is getting you down, you're not alone. Visit https://bit.ly/3DxxDBY for more advice and support.

I would like to recommend a book today 🩷
We don’t have to be people pleasers; and we don’t have to feel guilty about saying No!
