It’s that time isn’t it… that strange, stretchy week where time can sometimes feel a bit… hmmmm

You might feel relieved it’s over
You might feel exhausted
or restless now no one’s calling on you
asking you or needing you
You might be wondering what should I be doing?
or maybe the opposite…

Maybe you have so many ideas about how to fill your time that it feels overwhelming
and you don’t know where to start.

For some
it’s quieter than expected
For others
there’s a sadness
And for many, there’s a chorus of I should’ve done this… I could’ve done that…

There is no right or wrong way to feel in this in-between space.

You don’t have to be productive
You don’t have to have purpose
You don’t have to turn this pause into something meaningful.

If today is for resting that’s enough
If today feels heavy that’s valid
If today is about doing very little
or doing one tiny thing
that counts too.

Be gentle with yourself in the pause before the year turns 🤍

Before I log off for the festive period I want to say thank you.

This year has held many different stories such as courage, uncertainty, growth, and a lot of quiet effort that often goes unseen. Whether our paths have crossed in therapy, through messages, or simply through you spending time with my content, I appreciate you being here.

Thank you

My work continues to remind me how much strength lives in ordinary moments and it’s a privilege to walk alongside so many people as they navigate change, challenge, and growth.

If this season brings pressure, unexpected moments or mixed emotions I hope you are able to give yourself permission tobe gentle with yourself, to rest when you can and do what feels supportive rather than obligatory.

Thank you for sharing this space with me.
I look forward to reconnecting in the New Year.

Warm wishes
Jules x

You analyse every word before hitting send
Re-read messages like they’re legal documents
And mentally rewrite conversations long after they’re over.

You double-check
Triple-check
Then check again…
just in case.

On the journey home
your mind replays it all…
Did I say too much?
Not enough?
Did what I said sound wrong?

And underneath the overthinking
And
constant self-monitoring…
you’re exhausted.

Tired of second-guessing yourself
Tired of feeling like one small mistake could undo everything
Tired of never feeling
finished
enough
or at ease.

🫟Try this
A CREATIVE GENTLE PRACTICE FOR OVERTHINKING MOMENTS

When you notice your thoughts spiralling…

• Grab a piece of paper
• Draw a heart, flower, circle or other shape
• Fill it with what you know to be true i.e. the facts and not the fears

Then
somewhere on the page
add one kind sentence beginning with…
“Even if I don’t have it all figured out yet, I can trust/know that…”

Here’s a few ideas for you in case your mind has gone blank…

🖊️ I’ve handled difficult things before
🖊️ I can take this one step at a time
🖊️ I’m more capable than I realise
🖊️ I don’t need all the answers right now to move forward

✨ This is about meeting yourself with compassion and learning to trust yourself again.

👉 Save this for the days when self-doubt creeps in.
Progress matters more than perfection.

Hi, I’m Jules, a Newquay based counsellor and
I help people step out of overthinking, drop the guilt, strengthen self-esteem, and reconnect with who they are beneath the pleasing and expectations through therapy that’s collaborative sometimes out of the box and compassionate.

18/12/2025

Some days I don’t have the energy
Or time for a full on journal session
or a reflective walk
And sometimes there’s not even time for my swim routine
and that’s okay
Because instead I can…

➡️Sit with a cuppa and notice my breathe or the clouds for two minutes

➡️Step outside or open the window for a blast of fresh air

➡️ Reply to one message and not all ten

➡️Do a short rejuvenating visualisation

For me it’s about checking in with myself
without judgment
Noticing what I need
And noticing how my body actually feels
And not how I think it should be

It’s these tiny
low-effort actions that
Remind me that
I still matter
even when I’m tired
And that’s all that’s needed

You don’t need to perform self-care
You just need to meet yourself where you are

What are your low-energy ways of caring for yourself when life feels heavy?

Setting boundaries isn’t selfish it’s essential.
They protect your energy
your wellbeing
and your capacity to give and care to and for others

One small and helpful boundary for the Christmas season might be to say…

👉 “I won’t be able to do everything this year.”

You don’t have to attend every event
meet every expectation
or keep everyone happy

And…when you honour your limits
you show up more fully
without burning out
Or becoming resentful

And …
others know where they stand with you too!

You’re an overthinker
And
You have high expectations

These can often be seen as something to
“tone down”
or to manage better

But in my work
I see something different…

Overthinking is often a sign of deep reflection
Or Of responsibility
and even a strong desire to do things well
To get them right

High expectations usually come from caring
about your work
your relationships
and your impact on others and the world around you

The difficulty isn’t having these traits
It’s when they turn inward and become self-criticism
people-pleasing
or chronic self-doubt

Many people I support are highly capable
thoughtful people
People who’ve learned to measure their worth
by
performance rather than presence.

Growth doesn’t always mean changing who you are
Sometimes it means relating to yourself differently

If this resonates
you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself… Availability opening up soon so if you’re ready to book your free introductory chat the links can be found via my bio

You’re tired.
Your brain is doing the emotional equivalent of spinning 20 plates while saying, “I’m fine.”
And you’re fed up of feeling the guilt for not being able to be everything to everyone.

This is where self-soothing comes in
And I don’t mean bubble baths and scented candles
though they do have their place

It’s about giving your body a signal to say…
“You’re safe.
You can pause
You don’t have to fix, do or be, anything right now.”

Self-soothing helps by…
✨ lowering stress hormones
✨ calming emotional overwhelm
✨ helping you think clearly instead of reacting
✨ building the kind of internal safety that doesn’t depend on the mood of others.l

Here’s 3 simple self-soothing tools you can use today

1. Stand up and shake your body for one minute
Yes, you’ll might feel a bit silly
or even ridiculous
but shaking helps reset tension
and wakes up your vagus nerve.

2. Doodle a shape or pattern across a whole page
No masterpieces required
Just simple repetitive movement + creative flow = a calmer brain.
It gets you out of your head and into the moment.

3. Give yourself a hand massage
Your hands carry more tension than you think
Slow pressure
small circles
and a few deep breaths can drop your stress levels surprisingly fast.

If you’re tired of feeling responsible for everyone else’s wellbeing start here
Why?
Because…
Your body will thank you
And future you will be sitting somewhere peaceful thinking
“Ah… so this is what regulation feels like.”

Counselling isn’t just about talking
sometimes it’s shaking
doodling
breathing
pausing
noticing…
giving your nervous system a chance to catch up

The fear of Missing Out can be really loud at this time of year…
…like,
buying the thing
going to the event
attending seven parties
and smiling while doing it.

However…

You’re not missing out on anything that doesn’t actually add value to your life.
If it drains you
stresses you
Or makes you rehearse excuses in the shower…
that’s not FOMO
that’s your boundaries trying to get your attention.

So why not try this…

Ask yourself
“Am I doing this out of obligation or do I genuinely want or need to do this?
And let that guide your decision.

The team do
The mum-friends do
