✨ Thinking of all my clients — past and present — receiving their A-level results today. I hope you’ve achieved the grades you were aiming for!

If things didn’t go quite as planned, please remember: your results don’t define you, and there are always other paths forward. You’ve worked hard, you’ve grown, and that matters most. 💛

Today is Emetophobia Awareness Day—a day to shed light on a little-known but deeply distressing fear of vomiting. For those who struggle with emetophobia, daily life can feel like a constant battle against anxiety, avoidance, and overwhelming fear.

If you or someone you know is affected by emetophobia, remember: you are not alone. Support, understanding, and professional help can make a difference.

Many of my clients presenting with anxiety will know that I highly recommend these - a 128 page book and a pack of 25 cards using long established CBT techniques and controlled breathing practices that help to combat anxiety and depression. They are currently on sale on the Amazon website for just £8.08 a set. I’d recommend you try them if you experience any anxiety spells or attacks 💖💖
