Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🕯️✨

A day to highlight the importance of open communication around mental health, connection, and understanding.

If you are struggling with thoughts of su***de, please know this:

💚 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝. 💚

There is help, there is hope, and there is absolutely no shame in reaching out.

💙Every life matters.
💚Every conversation can make a difference.
💙Every act of listening, compassion, or checking in could help save a life.

You can help prevent su***de by:

✅ Asking someone how they’re really feeling
✅ Listening without judgment or trying to fix
✅ Encouraging them to talk to a professional
✅ Sharing resources and reminding them they are not alone

📞 If you or someone you know needs support, then please reach out to some organisations who can help & advise:

Samaritans (UK): 116 123
Text “SHOUT” to 85258 (UK)

💙 Speak to your GP, a counsellor, or someone you trust.

Let’s keep the conversation going, because talking about su***de doesn’t cause it, but silence can.

Reading is one of my most favourite things to do. 📚

This year I have visited some beautiful little villages around England and have very much enjoyed strolling into bookshops and trying to find ‘old’ books. I seem to have become a bit of a collector, the older the book the more joy I feel. The smell and the feel of them. I imagine all of the people before me who have read and enjoyed the story of that book, the images that they created and the memories that it gave to them.

Happy reading day to you! 📚💚💙

Have you heard of inner child work? 🧸💙

It’s a therapeutic approach that reconnects you with the child within. The part of you that still carries unmet needs, unprocessed pain, and deep emotional wisdom.

When we explore our inner child, we begin to:

🧸 Understand emotional triggers
🧸 Soften self-judgment
🧸 Heal patterns that began in childhood
🧸 Offer ourselves the love and safety we once needed but may have never received

Start with this simple prompt:

💚“What did I need to hear as a child that I didn’t?”

Say those words to yourself now, with kindness.

❤️‍🩹Healing begins when we listen to ourselves.

September marks the month of Childhood Cancer Awareness. 🐻💔

Experiencing your child being diagnosed with cancer is truly a life changing experience for everyone. There are around 2,600 new cancer cases in young people in the UK every year, that’s around 7 children being diagnosed with cancer every day.

There are many different diagnosis of Children Cancers (stats taken from Children with Cancer Charity)

💙Leukaemia (30%)
💙Brain, CNS and intracranial tumours (20%)
💙Lymphomas (11%)
💙Soft Tissue Sarcomas (6%)
💙CNS tumours (5%)
💙Kidney Tumors (5%)
💙Other Carcinomas and Melanomas (4%)
💙Germ cell and gonadal tumours (4%)
💙Retinoblastoma (3%)
💙Liver Tumours (1%)

There is no rhyme or reason as to why a child gets cancer, the question of WHY is so present but sadly there is never a definitive answer. Due to funding and research the survival rates are always improving. There are some wonderful charities, organisations and communities that work tirelessly in supporting and helping families during this time of their lives.

💚Children with Cancer www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk
💚CCLG:The Childrens & Young Peoples Association www.cclg.org.uk
💚Be Child Cancer Aware www.bechildcanceraware.org
💚Beads of Courage Uk and Ireland
💚Neuroblastoma uk
💚Sarcoma uk

For anybody that would like to support or fundraise for any of these Charities then please click on the links above. Lets do what we can to support!💙💚

Grief can come in many different shapes & forms. Today is a day to remind those who are currently grieving that they are not alone.

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
It’s not something to “get over.”
It’s something we learn to grow with.

When working with grief with my clients, I describe it like the ocean. It is vast and there is never an end point in sight. It is unpredictable, some days it can feel calm and serene, other days it can feel ragged and scary. There are moments when our grief can feel like it has come out of nowhere, it can catch us off guard, just like a current building beneath the ocean which we can't see at times.

Grief can show up as:

😢 Deep sadness, numbness, or anger
🤯 Brain fog and exhaustion
😩 Guilt, regret, or relief - sometimes all at once
🫥 A longing for someone, something, or a version of life that changed

Whether your loss is recent or decades old, whether you lost a person, a relationship, a dream, or a part of yourself, whether your grief is visible or private…

💙Your feelings are valid.
💚Your story matters.
💙You deserve space to heal.

Therapy can offer a safe, supportive place to explore your grief without judgment, at your pace, in your way.

If today is tender, be gentle with yourself. Grief is love, trying to find a place to go. 💙🪽💚

With the ‘Ber’ months just around the corner, here’s our favourite seasonal activities to embrace the autumn! 🍂☕️✍️

Some of us can feel our mood changes with the darker evenings and poorer weather, meaning less opportunities of getting out in nature etc, but there’s still so much to look forward to and lots of ways to keep your mental health in check over the colder months.

What’s your favourite autumnal activity that you’re looking forward to? 💚💙

🎒 Is your child feeling nervous of returning back to school? 🧠💚💙

Perhaps they’re starting a new school and are anxious about making new friends & adjusting to a new environment?

As the school gates reopen, many children are carrying more than just their backpacks - they’re carrying worries, what-ifs, and big feelings.

And that’s completely normal.

Some common signs of back-to-school anxiety:

💤 Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite
😢 More clinginess, tearfulness, or irritability
😩 Complaints of tummy aches or not feeling well
😖 Worries about friends, teachers, or new routines

Here are a few gentle ways to support them:

💙 Validate their feelings: “It’s okay to feel nervous - lots of people do.”
💚 Create calm routines: Familiar structure can feel safe.
💙 Use grounding tools: Deep breathing, drawing, or packing a comfort item
💚 Talk it through: Give them space to share what’s on their mind
💙 Regulate yourself: Your calm helps co-regulate their nervous system

And if the worries don’t ease over time, therapy or play-based support can help children explore and express what they’re feeling, safely and gently.

Going back to school is a big transition, for both kids and parents, so remember to be kind to yourselves. 💙💚

💚 Today is Never Give Up Day 💚

A day to honour strength, not just the loud kind, but the quiet, steady kind that keeps going, even when no one sees it.

You might not feel strong.
You might feel tired, lost, overwhelmed, or stuck.
But the fact that you’re still here, still trying, in whatever way you can… matters.

Never giving up doesn’t always look like bold moves.
Sometimes it looks like:

🛌 Getting out of bed when it feels impossible
🙏🏼 Asking for help
🫁 Taking a deep breath instead of shutting down
🧘🏻‍♀️ Choosing rest over perfection
🗣️ Showing up to therapy or talking it out

✨ Your progress isn’t linear.
✨ Your healing doesn’t need to be fast.
✨ Your story isn’t over.

And if today feels like too much, know that you don’t have to do it alone. There is support, there is hope, there is a way forward, even if it’s one tiny step at a time.

If you’re interested in whether counselling may help support you, then please get in touch to arrange a free consultation. 💙💚

National Relaxation Day is a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and give your nervous system the care it deserves.

Relaxation is essential for your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. And yet, so many of us struggle to slow down without holding guilt.

So here’s a simple technique you can try today, even if you’re short on time:

🫁 4-7-8 Breathing Technique:

1. Inhale gently through your nose for 4 seconds
2. Hold your breath for 7 seconds
3. Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds

Repeat 3 - 4 times

This calming breath helps to:
💚Reduce anxiety
💙Lower heart rate
💚Shift your body into a more restful, relaxed state

✨ Even one minute of intentional breathing can change your whole moment.

So today, give yourself permission to slow down. Rest is not a reward, it’s a right. 💚💙

Today is the day that A level students will receive their results. Whatever outcome you receive today please remember....

😊 A levels are just one chapter, they are not your whole story
😊 An exam cant measure your dreams
😊 A grade does not measure your worth or your potential

A lovely part of my job is being thought of when my clients message me with their results. Huge congratulations to 2 of my clients who have achieved A* and A in their subjects 🎉🙌

Boundaries aren’t walls… They're bridges to healthier relationships. ✋

Setting clear boundaries helps protect your energy, reduce stress, and foster respect from others.

Whether it’s at work, with family, or in friendships, saying “no” or asking for space is a form of self-care - not selfishness.

Here’s a simple way to start:

➡️ Notice when you feel overwhelmed or resentful.
➡️ Practice expressing your needs kindly but firmly.
➡️ Remember, your wellbeing matters.

Healthy boundaries allow you to show up more fully, both for yourself and others. 💙💚
