Behind the Therapy Door … As a Psychotherapist of 22 ish years I forget that many of the things that I believe are obvious? Aren’t.

So I’ll share my insights from behind the therapy door to help you to feel happier, more positive & empowered with your wellbeing.

Because ?

Mental Health, doesn’t have to be depressing.

Ask away below or DM me if you have a question / or are curious but have never known who to ask.

This isn’t therapy but I can give you a peek behind the door.

Big hugs C x

PS. Please do share. You never know who it may help.

WTF is Blue Health? 🌊

Most people don’t know.
But they should.

Because it’s simple.

It’s what being in, on, or near water does to your mind and body.

And it’s powerful.

Last night I was invited to the launch of Do Blue by Do Book Company.

Tiny books. Big impact.
Like pocket-sized sanity in a noisy world.

And right now?

We need that.

Because whether we say it out loud or not…

We’ve all been through something.

COVID wasn’t just physical.
It was psychological.
Collective.
Lingering.

And only now are we really starting to name it.

So where does Blue Health come in?

Here:

🌊 Listening to water
🌊 Sitting by the sea
🌊 Walking near a river

These aren’t luxuries.

They’re nervous system resets.

The sound of water (aka pink noise) taps into something ancient.

Low frequency.
Rhythmic.
Familiar.

Like your first ever environment.

Safe.
Held.
Regulated.

No app.
No waiting list.
No referral.

Just… water.

And the potential?

Massive.

In a world that keeps taking…

Blue Health gives something back.

If this resonates, go find Do Blue.
It’s a quiet little love letter to something we all need more of.

What do you think about the latest ? 👀

23/03/2026

2191 days ago, an idea was born.

Not from a boardroom.
Not from a strategy deck.

From urgency.
From humanity.

All from my pink sofa.

Today marks 6 years of Frontline19

And if I’m honest?

It’s bittersweet.

Because behind this milestone sits a story that many don’t see:

18-hour days.

Holding space for trauma that never should have existed.

Leading an extraordinary group of volunteers giving their time, hearts, and expertise.

Speaking up in the media when it felt scary as hell.

Being inside the system while supporting those breaking within it.

At the same time…

Raising two small humans.
5 and 3 years old at the time.
Protecting vulnerable parents.
Menopause.
And carrying the emotional weight of it all.

There were moments that will never leave me.

Like the nurse who heard me on the radio…
Sitting in her car, ready to end her life.

She reached out.
She’s still here.

That’s why this matters.

Not the noise.
Not the criticism.
Not even the barriers put in place by those who should have known better.

The People.

To every donor, supporter, and fundraiser — thank you.

You fuel this mission.

To every volunteer — you are extraordinary.

Truly.

To the small team behind the scenes — you’ve held the holders, supported the supporters, and made the invisible work visible. This is yours too. 💛

To every healthcare worker we’ve supported — we see you.
We always have.

The pain.
The exhaustion.
The moral injury.

You deserve better.

Frontline19 was born in a crisis.
But let’s be clear — we are not a crisis response anymore.

We are essential.

Because until:

• Psychological support is embedded, not optional
• Prevention is prioritised, not postponed
• And those who care for us are properly cared for

We are not done.

So here’s to the next 2191 days.

We will keep showing up.
We will keep speaking up.
We will keep standing alongside the people who hold the NHS together.

Because if we don’t support the helpers… who saves us?

This is the reality of a systemic failure of nursing.

If you think it’s offensive ?

Try smelling it.

Try having this as your foot.

Try watching your father slowly rot infront of you.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich is run by Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and they continue to blame the staff - this is bigger than one person.

Bigger than one ward.

Bigger than one HCA, Nurse or Doctor.

There are no winners in this situation.

This is a failure of duty of care on a systemic and leadership level.

It’s chaotic and dangerous.

Perhaps the CEO Ben Travis would like to comment ?

Because all other avenues have failed and father will die from this unless someone listens to what is happening.

People are fighting for basic health care and ultimately their lives.

Please share, like and comment. We need all the help we can get.

No one should have to suffer in this way.

This isn’t policy.
It’s people.

And it’s happening on the floors of our hospitals.

⸻

We have safe limits for concerts.
We have safe limits for cars.
We have safe limits for planes.

Capacity.
Ratios.
Regulation.

Because risk matters.

But in NHS hospitals?

There is no red line.

Patients stacked in corridors.
Human beings parked like overflow.

My dad.

On a corridor.
Lights blazing 24 hours a day.
Machines beeping.
Trolleys rattling past his head.

No dignity.
No privacy.

Incontinence pads exposed.
No screens.
No protection from wandering eyes.

Bed sores missed.
Gangrene creeping in while staff sprint between impossible demands.

And the staff?

Exhausted.
Morally distressed.
Trying to deliver safe care in an environment that isn’t safe.

This is not compassionate healthcare.
It is crisis management on a loop.

Politicians had opportunities.
Funding choices were made.
And people are paying the price with their bodies.

How many deaths will it take before corridor care is recognised for what it is?

Inhumane.
Unsafe.
A failure of leadership.

Corridors are for walking.
Not for treating our sickest and most vulnerable.

We cannot normalise this.

If you work in healthcare, speak.
If you lead, act.
If you vote, remember.

Because this isn’t abstract.
It’s someone’s parent.
Someone’s partner.
Someone’s child.

And today, it was mine.

Please sign & share. Its in every ones best interests that all countries in the UK stop “corridor care.”

In Wales, patients are currently receiving care on trolleys or chairs for hours on end, often days, in pain and suffering. Doctors, nurses, and health care staff are forced to treat and care for patients in corridors, car parks, and other places where safe, dignified care isn't possible and where th...

Speaking up and using your voice?

A privilege denied to many...
Especially women globally.

Empowerment can be LOUD or it can be quiet.

Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.

This is me using my privilege.

“Something loved is never lost.”

I have a ring with this engraved on it.

I look at it often.
I reflect on what it means.

It started as a reminder to myself,
even on the days when I felt lost,
I could still love myself.

I couldn’t be “lost” because I loved myself,
cracked and broken parts and all.

Loving myself wasn’t about thinking “oh you’re brilliant.”

But about the acceptance of who and where I was.

Loving myself with compassion, regardless.

The pathway that I was on...

And where I am today, too.

I am loved and supported.

And even if you don’t feel it?

You are, too.

When I think about these words,
I breathe a little more easily.
A little less painfully, sometimes.

And that is the beauty of quotes.

Please do share yours, and we can all share our wisdom.

My best advisors ARE NOT therapists…

And here’s why.

Therapy,
Counselling,
Psychotherapy,
Call it what you like.

It isn’t about advice giving.

Nope.

It’s about,
Exploration,
Empowerment,
Discovery,
learning skills,

And self love ❤️

What would you add to the list ?

This is one of my best people whom I go to 🥰

⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
there is no plan. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The chaos unfolds ⁣
and you find yourself in a place, ⁣
a situation or ⁣
with a person that wasn’t …what you had in mind.⁣
⁣
It wasn’t meant to be like this. ⁣
⁣
This wasn’t the plan. ⁣
⁣
What went wrong?⁣
⁣
Nothing. ⁣
⁣
This is life. ⁣
It’s OK.⁣
It’s not easy,⁣
It’s not always fair. ⁣
⁣
But if you follow it?⁣
Embrace it?⁣
You can find your way back to you. ⁣
⁣
You are surviving in the chaos. ⁣
⁣
Inspite of it,⁣
because of it. ⁣
⁣
It’s raw,⁣
painful,⁣
Ugly ⁣
and can be exhausting. ⁣
⁣
But you can do it. ⁣
⁣
Check in with yourself... ⁣
⁣
Do you know where you are? ⁣
⁣
Who you are? ⁣
⁣
Where you want to be?⁣
⁣
Sometimes,⁣
the plan? ⁣
⁣
Is to have no plan. ⁣
⁣
Embrace it,⁣
even if it makes you uncomfortable⁣
and watch how life improves. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
my clients get stuck.⁣
⁣
And my response? ⁣
Sometimes,⁣
we have to start with what we don’t want. ⁣
⁣
And maybe,⁣
the plan isn’t what we need. ⁣
⁣
So, what’s your plan ? ⁣
