🎄 The Wellbeing Hub is Officially Clocking Off! 🎄

The hub is now locked up, lights off, blankets folded and ready for a much needed rest.

We will reopen on Tuesday 6th January, and during this time social media and emails will be unmonitored - I’ll respond to any messages once we’re back.

Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas.
Be kind to yourself, be gentle with others and enjoy the season in whatever way feels right for you. ❤️✨

Wellbeing Tip:
Remember, it’s okay to say no to things that drain you. Protect your energy, take breaks and give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year! 🎅🌟

Christmas can be overwhelming, for adults and children.
Big emotions, pressure, noise and expectations don’t magically disappear in December.

This is a gentle reminder that:
✨ boundaries are care
✨ behaviour is communication
✨ simple is enough

If Christmas feels a lot this year, this is for you 🤍

Moments like this are so special. For a child who usually communicates through silence, body language or drawing, finding the courage and safety to put their feelings into words is a huge step.

It’s not just about the words spoken - it’s about the trust, the connection, and the reminder that every child communicates in their own time and their own way. Creating that safe space, without pressure, is what makes these moments possible.

When words feel hard to find, drawing can open the door. Drawing and talking is such a powerful therapeutic tool, and I’m deeply honoured to be trusted to work with bereaved clients 🦋

Today I received this beautiful letter parent.
We’re only 7 sessions in and already seeing such wonderful progress. I never do this work for the thanks… but moments like this really touch my heart 🥺🤍

For some, Christmas is full of sparkle. For others, it quietly highlights who or what is missing 🤍

This National Grief Awareness Week, I’m sharing gentle reminders for anyone carrying grief through the festive season. You are not alone.

This calendar isn’t quite what I expected but today’s message couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve rejoined the gym and I’m facing my fears of going back.
As the corn says, ‘Just be confident and you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue.’ 🌽

Normalising this on national TV 👏🏼👏🏼

When reality TV gives you a reminder that vulnerability is strength. Men cry too.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: Su***de

Last night I attended the Salisburys Mental Health awareness gala - the 5th year beautifully organised by Lucianne and Tony. It was a stunning evening, full of inspiring stories… but also some incredibly heartbreaking ones.

What struck me most were the stories of those we lose to su***de - so often not the people openly struggling, not the ones reaching out and not the ones in crisis services. It’s the people who seem “fine”. The ones who smile, who carry on, who support everyone else.

✨It’s your neighbour who always takes the parcels in.
✨It’s your friend who checks in on everyone.
✨It’s your mum who holds the family together every Sunday.
✨It’s your partner who shows nothing but laughter and love.

Those stories stay with you.

So please check in on your people.
Be open. Be honest. Share what you’re carrying.

💚Your story could save a life.
💚Your listening could save a life.
💚Your existence could save a life.

In two years’ time I’ll be an integrative, creative and play therapist and I cannot wait.
But I once read, “Enjoy being in the process of becoming.” 🌿

Eighteen months ago, I quit my job with no plan, no idea what came next and no clue where the next pay would come from. I just knew something had to change. So I took a risk and went self employed - unsure what it would look like, but hopeful.

A year ago, when I was only two months into that journey, I could never have imagined where I’d be today.

Here I am now: thriving in self-employment, creating safe spaces for people to express, process and reconnect and growing at the same time.

I never thought I’d be training as a Play Therapist — something I’d dreamed of for years. Yet here I am, loving my cohort and with my placement ready for March.

I have big plans ahead, more courses I’d love to do and a huge dream I’m determined to make real but right now I’m choosing to slow down, breathe and enjoy the process.

Here’s to the journey… and to looking back in another 12 months and seeing even more growth. 💫

Because beneath those words is usually something felt but not yet safe enough to say.
“I don’t know” often means it’s hard to find the words.
“I don’t care” often means it hurts too much to care right now.

That’s why I hold the space gently, patiently, until you’re ready 🦋
