In February, I’m running the Exeter 10K for Luna’s Fund because this cause sits right at the centre of the work I do, and the clients that I care about. As a perinatal counsellor, I spend my days with women and families wading through the aftermath of pregnancy and baby loss, the kind of heartbreak that changes the shape of their life. I see the gaps in support every single week. I see how isolated families can feel, not because they’re unwilling to reach out, but because there simply isn’t enough dedicated help in our area.

That’s why Luna’s Fund matters. They’re a Plymouth-based charity creating the kind of practical, compassionate support that really holds families during some of their darkest times. And they’re hoping to reach further, into more areas, for families who desperately need what they offer.

By running this 10K, I want to help them do exactly that. Every bit raised moves them closer to being there for people who have already been through more than enough.

Thank you for supporting me and in turn the families who need this support.

Please give as much or as little as you can afford - thank you in advance.

My Trauma Recovery Wheel is a visual guide designed to help you understand the different areas involved in healing from trauma.

Instead of seeing recovery as a straight line, this wheel reminds you that healing is multi-layered and cyclical. Each section represents a key dimension of recovery, and together they highlight how emotional, physical, cognitive, and relational healing all connect.

It is a gentle guide to help you understand where you are in your healing journey and what areas might support your growth next. Each section: Safety, Trust in Self & Others, Support Network, Reprocessing, Presence & Meaning, and Self-Belief, represents a different layer of healing.
You don’t need to move through the wheel in order.

Let this wheel be a reminder that recovery unfolds through repeated moments of care, awareness, and compassion. Every step you take, no matter how small, matters.

💭 Did you know that 1 in 4 women face mental health challenges during or after pregnancy, and many suffer in silence?

Perinatal mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and PTSD are far more common than most people realise, yet they’re often overlooked or dismissed. This hidden crisis doesn’t just affect mothers, it impacts families, communities, and future generations.

👉 Swipe through to uncover the facts, understand the gaps, and learn why awareness and support matter more than ever.

Our Children Don’t See What We See

It’s instinctive to try to make our traumatised children to ‘feel better’ about themselves. The problem is that our children don’t see themselves in the same way that WE do.

Because of experiences when they were young, our children’s internal working model tells them they are useless, invisible, stupid, ugly, not worthy, or just plain bad.

If our child communicates (through behaviour), that they believe they are bad, stupid or ugly, our immediate instinct is to ‘correct’ them and tell them they are beautiful, worthwhile and wonderful, giving them lots of reasons why WE think this.

But here’s the thing- If the child FEELS and BELIEVES that they are bad, you TELLING them that they’re not, doesn’t resonate.
It feels like a lie. It feels like YOU lied. It feels like you just became one more person not to trust.

We have all had those days when we feel unattractive, tired or overweight but someone tells us we look fabulous! We know they mean well but….. Imagine if that happened all the time!
Where is the reality check?

This is a really hard truth that we must deal with in order to help our children heal.
The way we do this is by making sure we KEEP IT REAL!
We base our praise and encouragement in reality.
“I see you are struggling at the moment, but I have faith in you because I saw how you handled it yesterday”

“I know you feel bad about **** but I know you have a good heart, because I saw you help your brother this morning when you thought no one was looking”.

This low level, factual, alternative positive feedback is much easier for our children to accept and internalise than over praising and over compensating.

Little by little, we see our children’s view of themselves change.
The moment when they start to see their true reflected self and realise that maybe they ARE beautiful, worthwhile, and that they matter, is wondrous indeed.

Why is therapy so expensive?
It's a question many people ask, and understandably so. Therapy can feel like a big financial commitment, especially when you're already stretched. But behind the price tag is a trained professional who's invested years in education, ongoing supervision, insurance, accreditation, and specialist training to support people through some of the hardest moments in their lives. You're not just paying for a session, you're investing in safety, expertise, and a space that's fully focused on you.

Let’s break down what goes into the cost and why it matters 👇
