The day I thought I’d never see my children again…

20 years ago today — 7th July 2005 — I was in London, at the Institute of Fundraising, completing their Fundraising Management Course. What should have been a proud and pivotal moment in my career quickly turned into a day of fear and uncertainty.

When the 7/7 terrorist attacks struck the capital, everything stopped. Sirens replaced conversations. Panic replaced routine. Lives were lost. And like many others caught in the chaos, I was gripped by one overwhelming thought: Will I ever make it home to my children?

Thankfully, I did. But not everyone did.
That day changed something in me. It deepened my understanding of trauma, loss and the fragility of life — and ultimately led to the work I now do as The Coping Specialist.

If you or someone you love is struggling with grief or the weight of past trauma, I now offer one-to-one grief and loss sessions. As someone who has walked through it myself, I offer not just professional support - but lived experience and understanding.

Message me directly or visit my page https://www.thecopingspecialist.com to learn more. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Father’s Day isn’t easy for everyone.

For some, it brings warmth and gratitude.

For others, it stirs a quiet ache — a reminder of absence, unanswered questions, or complex memories.

You might be grieving a father who has passed...
Or one who was never present.
Maybe the relationship was strained, or lost due to illness, estrangement, or circumstances beyond your control.
Whatever your experience — your grief is valid.

Father’s Day can amplify those feelings, especially when the world expects celebration.

Take the pressure off. You don’t have to perform a version of the day that doesn’t feel true to you.
You’re allowed to honour your experience, however it shows up.

If today feels heavy, we provide confidential one-to-one sessions for those who need space to explore their grief at a deeper, personal pace.

Reach out to us directly to arrange a one-to-one conversation with a compassionate, experienced member of our team.

You’re not alone. We’re here when you’re ready contact us at Info@thecopingspecialist.com

Reset. Rebuild. Realign.

That’s been the energy lately — and what a couple of months it’s been!

🌴 After a busy end to 2024, I took time to reset in Dubai — where rest met new opportunities. Exciting global collaborations are on the horizon…Watch this space!

🌊🔥 Back home, I returned to one of my favourite self-care rituals: a monthly sea dip + beach fire in Tynemouth with incredible friends. These moments keep me grounded — time to reflect, laugh, reconnect, and realign.

Meanwhile, the work has been flowing through:
💛 The Coping Specialist
💛 Inner Light Wellbeing CIC
💛 EventSheAlity

In our Blyth grief & loss group, we explored how to honour loved ones through writing, memory-sharing, and speaking what was left unsaid.

At WorkSmartLiveWell, we held a grief drop-in. One person said, “This is the only space where I can talk about my grief.” That’s the impact we’re here to make.

At the Dementia Roadshow, I shared how vital signposting is in making support accessible and human.

We also supported a local business after the loss of a colleague — because workplace wellbeing should always include space for grief and healing.

What’s next?
We're planning events to raise awareness around death & dying, and fundraising to launch our Emergency Support Fund — because no one should face loss alone.

We’re also applying for funding to grow our holistic wellbeing training for schools, businesses, and communities.

If you’re looking for real, compassionate support for you, your team, school, or group — let’s talk.

DM me or visit our site to book a consultation.

Let’s make healing a collective act. 💛

“You don’t move on from grief. You move with it.” Let us walk with you.

🌎World Health Day isn’t just about physical health—it's about healing hearts, minds, and moments, too.

In the UK, 1 in 5 people experience prolonged grief that silently reshapes their daily lives. Yet, emotional pain rarely gets the same attention as a broken bone.

At The Coping Specialists, we understand that grief is not a moment—it’s a landscape. And navigating it doesn’t have to be lonely.

This , we’re inviting you to pause, breathe, and consider this:
“The cure for pain is in the pain.” – Rumi
It’s through facing what hurts that healing begins.
Whether you're grieving a person, a relationship, or even the version of you that existed before loss—there is strength in seeking support.

Follow us for compassionate guidance, daily support tools, and a safe space to just… be.
Because your mental health is your health.
And we're here for every step of your healing.
