Hello 2026! 👋

As the light dawns on a frozen January here are a few updates from me...

I have availability for new therapeutic/supervision/consultation work 🌟

I'm not planning to host any more networking events for the foreseeable future, but hope to find some to attend if you have any suggestions?? 🤔

I have created a separate page for selling my artwork and therapy tools - please feel free to follow it! ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586377403591

Hello all 👋

Just a quick reminder that I am on leave from the end of play today until 5th January and won't be responding to any contact during this time. 🧳

Feel free to get in touch and I will respond once I'm back to work. 📧

This time of year is different for everyone, so take it at your own pace and do what you can to meet your own needs. 🎄🎅😌

Not sure about you, but I am very much ready for a break! ⛓️‍💥😌

The countdown is on ⏳... Just over a week left of work and I find myself in a reflective🪞mood about my journey so far in this therapeutic world. 🌍

The last 2 years in particular have afforded me opportunities to branch out from offering only therapy and clinical supervision - I've added strings 🎻 of restorative supervision, hosting networking events, creating therapeutic resources, offering consultations on setting up in private practice and selling paintings to my bow. 🏹

I've also developed my self-care to include having more support networks for myself and of course astrophotography - apologies for the moon 🌕 spam. 🤣

Each year involves learning and growth and I would not be here without the support of all you wonderful people who trust me to help you with your journeys - thank you! 💕

Let's play some word association 😁

When you think about the topic of "friendships," what comes to mind??? 🤔

A few ideas to start you off...

Life long

Distant

Ghosting

Tricky

Effortless

Fun

Complicated

Ever changing

Hard to develop

Impacted by life changing

Take work to sustain

Built on common ground

A common theme this week has been around the perceptions of others and accepting non- harmful differences rather than seeing these differences as an undesirable quality that needs changing. 👓 🤔

Take the pictures below 👇

Each of us will view these already prepared desserts in a different way and then again potentially when we look at them from a different angle. 🍨🍪🍮🍩📐 These views will then help us decide whether to taste the desserts or not. 👄
We don't have to like 👍 all the desserts, but we also can't expect them to spontaneously change to make us like them.

We can choose to accept them as they are ▶️, try them again at a later date as our tastes may have changed ⏸️⏩ or ultimately choose to avoid them if we must ⏹️.

I sometimes feel like this metaphor applies to how we see and treat other people but obviously not in terms of 'tasting them.' 🤣

N.B. this is not meant to be a provocative post, just a reflection on some of the discussions I've had this week - it is not all encompassing and does not negate the idea of change when it is wanted or needed.

Hi all 👋

Just a quick availability and resources update 🤩

I will have space for new work in the new year but am happy for people to make contact before then if you are looking for therapy, supervision or consultations! ✨

Also don't forget, I still have photocards and original artwork for sale, if you are looking for a different kind of Christmas gift / tools for your toolkit 🎄📷🖼️

Get in touch for more info, or check out my previous posts for images.

Have a lovely weekend 💕

P.s. the photo has no significance, I just liked it 🤣

Life can be a balancing act; as my friend the snail 🐌 would say... Take it slow!

This week's themes revolve around holding boundaries 🧱 and containing the chaos 🎆...

One of my supervisors helped me reflect on how they see me recently after I shared the chaos of managing diaries and other people's needs without sacrificing my own; a bowl that holds and contains a lot of fluid parts 🍜

Funnily enough past supervisors have given me other metaphors that have similarities such as a snail 🐌 or the world turtle 🌍 🐢 🌌 as they also carry and contain a lot.

The visual that came to mind for me was a Kintsugi bowl as often when we try and hold boundaries/contain chaos it can lead to cracks in our self, but they can be bolstered and the object made into something stronger through it's own support and a bit of sparkle ✨

As I don't have a Kintsugi bowl image, I found another bowl to take it's place and the facial expression feels a bit apt after the week I've had 🤣

I've been lucky enough to have some unexpected time back this week to do things I love.... 🔭🥰🌊🍣💆‍♀️

What do you enjoy doing when you find yourself with extra time to yourself??

Time for a few days of self reflection 🪞 as I complete some training in Creative Life Story Work... 📖 Something I hope to be able to support in my practice 🎨

A simple question this week... How do you fill your bucket 🪣???
