Couples Therapy often involves looking at social support systems for both parties. If there is a lack of support - this can often increase the dependency and create higher expectations in a relationship.

Friends matter because they cover parts of life no single person can.
They give you perspective, different voices, different experiences, so you’re not stuck in one emotional bubble. They spread the weight, too. When everything leans on one relationship, it strains it; friends take some of that pressure off.

They’re also where you get variety: humor, honesty, distraction, challenge. A good friend will call you out, back you up, or just sit with you without expectations. That mix is hard to get from one person alone.

And practically, they make life bigger. More ideas, more support, more ways to cope when things go wrong. Not a replacement for a partner, just a necessary balance.

IntroductionThey arrive at their first session with notebooks open, pens poised, ready for action. "Give me the homework," they say. "What tasks should we do? What books should we read? How can we fix this quickly?"I get it. I really do. Because I'm guilty of it too, the never-ending to-do lists, th...

"Different man, same story."If you've said this to yourself more than once, you're not alone. Many women find themselves caught in a painful pattern: repeatedly attracted to emotionally unavailable, self-centered, or narcissistic men.This isn't bad luck. It's not a character flaw. It's a pattern - a...

I recently watched Louis Theroux’s documentary Manosphere, and while the subject matter was challenging, exploring the online world of masculinity influencers and their often extreme views, what struck me most was Theroux’s masterclass in boundary-setting.
In a world where we’re constantly told to “stand up for ourselves” or “call out” problematic views, Theroux showed us something different: how to maintain your own truth while completely tolerating someone else’s differing, even opposing - perspective.
This isn’t passivity. It’s not agreement. It’s something far more sophisticated: the ability to remain grounded in yourself while allowing others to be grounded in themselves.

I watched Louis Theroux’s Manosphere documentary and came away with a simple but powerful insight: boundaries can be both firm and compassionate. In my latest blog post I explore how Theroux models calm curiosity, clear limits, and the strength of tolerating difference while holding your own truth.

International Women's Day has me thinking about the team of women in my life - and how fundamentally they've shaped who I am today.I don't think I truly understood the power of female friendship, female community, female solidarity until I had it. And now that I do, I can't imagine navigating life w...

International Women’s Day feels like the right time to say this out loud:

My team of women has made me who I am.

They hold me with the understanding that only comes from living this experience - being a woman, a working mum, self-employed, carrying the mental load while working harder and smarter than ever.

They inspire me. Challenge me. Take the p**s out of me (which I love - it makes me feel seen and imperfect and utterly accepted). They train hard, laugh hard, and show up for the tough times.

They see my blind spots and gently bring them into the light. When I doubt myself, they help me come back home to me.

My strong inner voice? It exists because of these steadfast women.

Women need each other. Only we know how this feels.

To my circle: You hold me, you see me, you make me better.

Thank you.
