09/01/2026

The start of a new year can stir up pressure to decide, commit, and optimise.
But clarity doesn’t come from forcing answers - it comes from feeling safe enough to listen.

If you’re feeling unsure, lost, or quietly reflective right now, that makes sense.
And you don’t have to work it out alone.

✨ Therapy is available online and in person if you’d like support as this year unfolds.

07/01/2026

So many people start January believing they lack discipline or motivation.
But what they’re really feeling is nervous system overwhelm.

Lasting change happens when you move at a pace your body can tolerate - not when you force yourself forward.

If you want support navigating change with more steadiness and less self-attack, I offer therapy online and in person.

05/01/2026

The new year often arrives with quiet pressure:
to be clearer, calmer, more confident, more “together”.

But growth doesn’t begin with reinvention.
It begins with honesty.

This year doesn’t need a better version of you.
It needs you, as you are - tired parts, hopeful parts, unsure parts included.

If you’re entering this year without certainty but with willingness, that’s enough to start.

✨ Save this if you’re choosing presence over pressure.

31/12/2025

New Year’s Eve can bring a lot with it - reflection, comparison, pressure to feel hopeful, grateful, or “ready”.

If instead you’re feeling emotional, unsettled, relieved, numb, or unsure…
that doesn’t mean you’ve done the year wrong.
It means you’ve been human inside it.

You don’t need to package this year neatly.
You don’t need to have clarity, goals, or resolutions.

Sometimes the most honest way to end a year is simply to acknowledge:
This mattered to me.

And if this week has stirred things up, that makes sense.

Support is available when you’re ready - I offer therapy online and in person.

🤍 Be gentle with yourself tonight.

29/12/2025

As a new year approaches, there’s often pressure to reinvent, improve, or fix ourselves.
But growth doesn’t begin with self-criticism - it begins with self-respect.

You don’t have to become someone else to deserve care, rest, or support.
The most meaningful change often starts quietly, when you stop treating yourself like a problem to solve.

If you’re entering the new year feeling reflective, tired, hopeful, uncertain - or all of it at once - that makes sense.

I offer therapy online and in person, and I’m here if you’d like support starting the year in a gentler way.

✨ Save this if you want to begin differently this time.

27/12/2025

This time of year has a way of amplifying what’s already there -
old family dynamics, unspoken grief, loneliness, unmet needs, or a quiet sense of not belonging.

If things came up for you, it doesn’t mean you’re going backwards.
It means something tender is asking to be noticed.

You don’t have to fix it this week.
You don’t have to understand it all.
You can simply acknowledge it, and take that with you gently into the new year.

If you need support, it’s there when you’re ready.
For now, it’s enough just to breathe and be where you are.

22/12/2025

For some people, this week feels warm and connective.
For others, it brings grief, loneliness, tension, or old memories that resurface quietly.

And for many, it’s a confusing mix of everything at once.

There is no “right” way to do Christmas.
No emotional standard you’re meant to meet.
No pressure to feel grateful, joyful, social or OK.

If your energy is low, that’s understandable.
If you need space, that’s allowed.
If you’re just getting through, that’s enough.

Be gentle with yourself this week.
You don’t have to explain how you’re coping to anyone.

19/12/2025

So many of us minimise our feelings because we were never taught they mattered.
We learnt to cope, to stay strong, to be “fine.”
But healing begins the moment you stop judging your emotions and start listening to them.

You don’t need permission to feel what you feel.
You just need a safer way to hear yourself.

If you’d like support reconnecting to your emotional world with compassion, I offer therapy online and in person.

17/12/2025

Minimising your feelings is a coping mechanism you built long before you had the words for it.
It protected you at the time, but now it’s exhausting.
It stops you expressing needs, setting boundaries, and letting others meet you with care.

Learning to stop minimising doesn’t mean falling apart.
It means telling the truth about what hurts, what scares you, and what you need - tenderly, without apology.

If this is something you want help with, I offer therapy online and in person.

15/12/2025

So many people think they’re “too sensitive” or “overthinking,”
but the truth is much quieter:

You learnt to minimise your feelings because it kept you safe.

Maybe you grew up around people who dismissed your emotions.
Maybe you didn’t want to be a burden.
Maybe you got praise for being “easy,” “strong,” or “no trouble.”

So now you say things like:
• “It’s not a big deal.”
• “Other people have it worse.”
• “I shouldn’t be upset about this.”
• “I’m probably overreacting.”

Here’s what minimising really does:
It disconnects you from your needs, your body, your boundaries and your self-worth.

Not because you’re weak, but because you were never taught how to honour your own experience.

You don’t heal by ignoring your feelings.
You heal by letting them matter.

If you’d like support reconnecting with your emotional reality in a safe, steady way, I offer therapy online and in person.

12/12/2025

So many people feel “not enough,” and assume the flaw is within them.
But low self-esteem is often a sign that you’ve been measuring yourself against standards that were never meant to be met - socially, culturally, or in your family.

When the bar is perfection, confidence, or constant emotional strength, of course you’ll feel inadequate.

Self-esteem begins to shift when you ask fairer questions of yourself.
When you stop chasing impossible rules and start relating to yourself with honesty, softness, and realism.

You don’t need to become more.
You may just need to judge yourself less.

If you’d like support creating a gentler, healthier relationship with who you are, therapy is available both online and in person.

10/12/2025

So many people believe low self-esteem means there’s something wrong with them, but it’s rarely about who you are.
It’s usually about where you learnt to shrink, stay quiet, overachieve, or keep everyone happy just to feel safe.

Self-esteem isn’t built through perfection, constant productivity or becoming the “best” version of yourself.
It grows in the quieter moments:
when you speak to yourself more softly,
when you stop apologising for having needs,
when you stop measuring your worth against everyone else.

You don’t have to earn your value.
You get to reclaim it - gently, slowly, at your own pace.

If you’d like support rebuilding a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself, I offer therapy online and in person.
