Every January, many people assume they’ve failed because they didn’t “try hard enough”.

In reality, behaviour change is difficult because it asks us to work against habits, routines, environments and stress that have built up over years.

Psychological research shows that sustainable change doesn’t rely on willpower or perfection.

It relies on practical, evidence-based tools that make behaviours easier to start, easier to repeat, and easier to return to after setbacks.

If change feels hard right now, you’re not broken.

You just haven’t been given the tools yet.

As we move into a new year, we want to acknowledge that January can bring many different feelings.

For some, it’s hopeful. For others, it’s heavy, uncertain, or simply tiring.

There’s no “right” way to start the year.

Wishing you a gentle start to the year, whatever it holds for you. Happy New Year from all of us at Shore Psychology.

We’ll be sharing some practical, evidence-based support over the coming weeks for anyone thinking about change this January.

Our Child Psychotherapist & Play Therapist Abigail Sinclair talks about why many neurodivergent children struggle over the festive season

17/12/2025

The festive season can look very different for neurodivergent individuals and families. Changes in routine, social expectations and sensory overload can make Christmas feel particularly challenging.

A neuro-affirming approach means honouring individual needs — whether that’s familiar foods, quiet time, clear boundaries or doing things differently altogether. There is no “right” way to do Christmas 🤍

Christmas can bring pressure, comparison and exhaustion, but small, intentional choices can really support your wellbeing through the festive season 🤍

From reducing social media scrolling to setting boundaries, making space for rest, and letting go of unrealistic expectations — it’s okay to do Christmas differently.

Your mental health matters just as much as the celebrations.

Not everyone feels festive at Christmas and that’s okay. If this season brings up stress, sadness or overwhelm, you are not alone 🤍

At Shore Psychology, being a Social Enterprise isn’t just a structure, it’s a commitment to making high-quality, trauma-informed mental health support more accessible in our community.

Since opening in February, we’ve worked closely with partners who share our values, including Multicultural Family Base (MCFB) and Crew 2000, to widen access to compassionate, evidence-based care for those who need it most.

Alongside this, our Leith clinic has become a space for connection and wellbeing — hosting yoga, Nia dancing, Relax Kids sessions and community workshops that support mind, body, and confidence.

We’re incredibly proud of the impact so far, and we’re only just getting started.

In Amy’s words: “There is a real need for what Shore provides, from therapy to community events — we truly are bridging the gap to better mental health.”

Most people have heard the term social enterprise — but do you really know what it means?

At Shore Psychology, we’re proud to operate as a Community Interest Company (CIC), which means our purpose comes first. Every part of our work — from 1:1 support to community partnerships — is designed to create real social impact and increase access to trauma-informed, neuroinclusive care.

This carousel breaks down the basics:
✨ what a Social Enterprise is
✨ how it differs from traditional businesses and charities
✨ and why Shore chose this model from day one

If you’d like to dive deeper into how Social Enterprises work — and how we’re making an impact here in Edinburgh — you can read the full article on our website:

We’d love you to share this post to help raise awareness of Social Enterprises in Scotland 💙
