World Su***de Prevention Day!

More people are accessing therapy, but it still needs to be more accessible to more people.

With the statistics showing men are twice more likely than women, I am privileged to be working with many male clients and seeing that therapy is shaking off the taboo of men speaking up 👌

Take a minute to remember the lost souls and the families they left behind 😔

I haven’t been posting much over the past 6 weeks, due to the obvious juggling of summer holidays, whilst maintaining clients !!

All systems go from tomorrow (hooray 🤣) and I can start planning, setting goals and content.

Nothing like diving straight in, as Tuesday after clients I will be attending this and really looking forward to it (have heard some great stuff about this workshop) 📚

Love this so much 😊

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be.

When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color.”

I don’t do that. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.

2 years today since I opened the doors 🚪

I have met so many lovely people through this time and welcomed so many more since taking on my own space, nearly a year ago (how is it nearly a year already 😳)

Thank you to my clients for having faith in me, family and friends for all of your support, let’s work towards year 3 🥳

I used this in Session today and realised I hadn’t shared it for quite some time.

I have found over time , this video feels more significant or I watch it from a different viewpoint.

Although it’s based on depression, it can be used for anything MH related. Whether that’s depression, anxiety, trauma, you just need to watch it from your own personal perspective 🤔

At its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition. Millions of people around the world live with depression. Many of these individuals an...

On this morning’s walk, I found myself reflecting on the past week and was reminded what an honour it is to walk alongside someone’s journey 😌

There has been so much progress this week in various areas. We have been digging deep and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, stretching our window of tolerance and beginning to control our anxiety, rather than it control you 👏

So remember, now and then, look back, reflect and be proud of how far you have come 👌

There has been a mix of feelings about this image, but I really like it, so decided to share 😊

# NAUGHTY LANGUAGE #

A while back I saw a post on one of the groups I am in, with pin badges for Therapists and/or clients. I thought they were so good, I looked them up, but were sold out (and pretty expensive if buying bulk) 😔

I then remembered an old colleague and friend had launched a local craft business, so jumped into action and contacted Sean for a chat 📱

Today I visited him at Saltdean Lido, where he was showcasing at their craft fair and collected my first batch of bespoke items 🔑

How great are these 🤩 hop on over to Crafty Collections and support a great local business 👌

I complain about setting a 5.30am alarm on my day off, to walk the dog before the heat …. BUT it feels good to be out early 🐕

Combining a self care day, with an overdue catch up with my sister (due to work & family commitments, we only rescheduled twice 🤦‍♀️). More walking and getting that important Vitamin D ☀️

Did you know that a Vit D deficiency, can really affect your mental health. Vit D receptors are in areas of the brain that are crucial for mood regulation and low levels have been linked to an increased risk of depression and other mental health conditions.

So whether it’s getting out and about or a simple coffee in the garden, grab that Vit D when you can ☀️😎

Happy Friday Everyone!

This week I have reached 450 client hours, which means I can now apply for Accreditation with the BACP.

Not only does this open some doors and a requirement for working in specific fields, it also acknowledges my skills, commitment to CPD and strength within my business, to support others 🤝

Happy Friday Everyone 🙌
