A closer look at our new wellbeing building ✨ A calm, welcoming space shaped by people who care deeply about helping others feel safe, seen, and supported. 🧡

Today we celebrated the launch of our new wellbeing building ✨ It was so encouraging to hear from the different people based here, their visions for their businesses, and the many ways they support others to live as their true, authentic selves. Such a lovely evening. 🧡

Sometimes wellbeing is about doing something simple with other people 🧡
Park Run is a great option whether you’re a runner or not 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️
The atmosphere is encouraging, there’s no pressure, and finishing a 5K, even at the back and even if it takes 45 minutes (like me), is still a real achievement 🙌
It’s a lovely way to start the day, boost your mood, and gently build confidence week by week 🌿✨
And if running feels like too much, volunteering at Park Run is just as powerful, being part of it, helping out, and cheering others on 🧡👏

Being a counsellor is such an honour and a privilege. To hear people’s stories, to help, and to be trusted with what they share is something I never take lightly. I do this work because I want people to feel okay. I want everyone to be seen, heard, and cared for.

🧡 Welcome to our new home on Thorpe Road. The Eudaemonia Group have been incredible, and I’m so grateful to be part of bringing this space to life. This building already feels completely different to my last home, lighter, calmer, and full of potential, and I’m hoping it will be home for a long time.

There’s still plenty more to do, and I can’t wait for you to see it once it’s finished. Spread the word, Norwich has a new wellbeing centre on the way 🧡

Taking time to rest and step away from work is not laziness 🌿 Your mind and body need space to recharge, reflect, and simply be 🕊️ Rest allows creativity to return, focus to sharpen, and emotional balance to settle 🌸 You cannot pour from an empty cup ☕ Taking care of your mental health helps you do your best work and live fully outside of it too 💛

Met my younger self for coffee today.

She got there tipsy from the night before, I got there with a clear mind and a heart full of hope.

Her hair was a deep brown, always straightened, always safe. Mine is bright ginger now, full of life, wild and free.

She wore black, always black. It was slimming, it hid her. I wear colour now, prints and patterns, things that make me feel alive.

She lived in rented spaces that never felt like home. I invite her to my house, walls painted in beautiful colours, strawberries on them, warmth in every corner.

She was searching through drinks, through strangers, through endless nights, trying to numb pain she could not name. I tell her I know that pain. I tell her there were days I hurt myself because I did not think I would ever get better.

She did not feel good enough, did not know what love without conditions felt like. I tell her I am surrounded now by the most amazing people, friends who have become family, and that healing is possible even when it feels out of reach.

She did not know where she was going, did not think she had a future. I tell her I work in private practice now, helping people heal in the ways I once needed. I tell her recovery is not only possible, but real. There is life, colour and joy beyond the pain.

She tells me she feels lost. I tell her that is okay. I tell her there is hope. 🧡

🖤Today is National Su***de Prevention Day 🖤

✨ Around 7,000 people die by su***de each year, that is 19 every day
✨ It is the leading cause of death for under-35s
✨ Men are about 3 times more likely to take their own lives than women

These numbers are heavy, but they also remind us why talking matters 🌱

Counselling can help with the overwhelm, the low mood, the “stuck” feeling, or just having a safe space to let it all out 💌

If you are struggling, please reach out, whether that is to a helpline, a friend, or by booking a session with me. You do not have to do this alone 🌻

💬 Let us talk. Let us heal

🧣 Treat yourself to a cosy blanket or soft socks
🌿 Spend time outdoors and notice the changes in nature
💊 Take vitamin D
📅 Plan small activities you can look forward to
💬 Reach out and connect with others regularly

Preparing now can help us protect our wellbeing and keep our spirits lifted through the season ahead 🍂🕯️🧡
