For my dear clients and followers,

This poem I wrote a while ago sums up how it is for me on this journey with you,

You are brave and beautiful and you teach me so much with each and every encounter we share.

You are a light within a world steeped in shadow and all you bring everyday sustains so many, given free with love and care.

You have met life, this is true, and yet you do not like to dwell, you face it, reacquaint yourself with it and incorporate it into your armour which is your resilience.

I am so grateful for these relationships we are building and feel so blessed to have you in my life.

Warmest wishes, Nicola.

✨💕✨💕✨

When you catch sight of yourself, do you love what you see?

For many of us the answer is a firm “No!” As we learnt to see ourselves through someone else’s eyes…

We absorb so much from our early environments, making others opinions of us our own, often subconsciously, these become our prism through which we see ourselves in the world or our ‘locus of evaluation.’

Much of my work with clients entails unknotting these deeply engrained self concepts, to understand there origins and the impact they have had upon them and their relationships, building up their self worth and value to a point where they begin to like what they see in the mirror, empowering them to build a stronger relationship with themselves and with others.

What feelings emerge for you when you see yourself?

This time of year can really test our boundaries to the hilt, we take on more than we normally would, feel obligated to socialise with people we are not wholly comfortable around, spend more than we planned too and have the proverbial ‘tumble drier’ head when it comes to being organised for the day itself… the thing is, where is it written we have to do this? Why do we put this pressure on ourselves year on year…?
Holding to firm boundaries at Christmas time prevents burn out, exhaustion and resentment towards the family members we see relaxing and having a good time while we run around after them…
This year could be different, after all it is our Christmas Day too, take a moment to pause and soak those moments in throughout the day, as it’s over in a blink of an eye, assign tasks to other people and invite them to help themselves to drinks, etc, otherwise, especially where older kids are concerned, they will happily let us wait on them!
You are infinitely precious, so take good care of yourself on this run up to Christmas, pause and take a breath as there is only one you!

Dear 7 year old me,

There are a few things I’d really like you to know sweet girl. First of all, you won’t have to put up with these wonky fringes and lacey collars for very much longer, you will look back at this and giggle!

You’ll be getting very excited by now with Father Christmas on his way, even though you are not keen on the Christmas frocks which had to match with the little sister’s, I feel proud of the way you smile through this.

One day you will become the Mummy you never knew you needed and have always longed for, and in your job helping people, you will empower and guide many others to be this for themselves.

You are building something very precious within you right now as you grow up in your family, it’s called resilience and it will hold you in such good stead, as your life will at times be a bit rocky.

I know you are really lonely right now darling, but this won’t always be the case, you are loved and as you travel through life you will meet many very special people along the way, who will make up for so much.

The bad feeling you get sometimes in your tummy is something called intuition, you won’t always want to, but listening to it might just save your life.

You are not ‘mental’ nor are you ‘stupid’ or ‘too much’ you hear these words and they hurt as you know they don’t come from a loving place. One day you will become a pretty cool woman with a very big heart, helping lots of people find their smiles again.

Your Daddy turns out to be the super hero you always saw him as. His love will be the light in your darkness, and all of those snuggles with him you love so much, set you up for life.

Most of all, with all you are facing right now and will have to face in the future, know that warmth you feel inside that has always brought you comfort, is a flame that will grow ever stronger when you need it most, all you have to do is trust it, as it will get you through everything.

Love from the older you ❤️

Sharing this load with a trusted other can be such a help and it doesn’t have to be with a therapist, finding a person who will listen without judgement is the most important thing, and you may be surprised how many kind souls out there will do this.

Take the chance to share how you’re feeling if you feel safe and comfortable within someone’s presence, I often listen to people at the checkout at my local supermarket, or a neighbour who needed to vent, we are all of us just trying to get by in this world after all, all of us connected in some way and the ones who are willing to lend an ear will appear at the right time.

You don’t have to carry this weight alone. Reach out to someone to share it and bear it with you.

This stunning image of Angel Wings Auroras was captured very recently over Lapland in Finland, by an incredibly talented photographer, whoever you are!

A rare mix of pink, green and red auroras, which apparently only appear during intense solar activity, where it’s effect over this frozen forest conjure up a vision of celestial divinity.

I was very moved by this image, as it displays a priceless performance of beauty and lights put on by Mother Nature herself, which upon reflection, perfectly demonstrates how things, when left to unfold in their own time, at their own pace within the optimum environment, can bring about such unique symmetry and synchronicity that is both transformative and awe inspiring.

Natural shifts such as these can’t help but forever change those in its wake, as once experienced, one is forever touched by its soul bending beauty.

This very same quality is experienced by my clients and I on a daily basis, except in this case, the energy radiating between us is the equally beautiful therapeutic relationship, formed through our own symmetry and synchronicity, as our hearts and minds meet for one purpose, to promote healing, light and hope, very often for us both.

It’s Warming Rays 2nd birthday!

What an honour it has been to be a part of so many inspirational people’s therapeutic journeys and to have met so many truly wonderful and enlightened friends on this platform, I’m celebrating today with each and everyone of you firmly in my heart.

Thanks also to my husband Steve for supporting me every step of the way and for spurring me on when my confidence and self esteem waned, for the hours of printing, proof reading, editing and practice building you have helped me with.

It’s safe to say with 28 clients on my list and now having to pause new client intakes, the practice has moved into the realms of being a success 🥳

Your ongoing love and support is so greatly appreciated and I hope you feel is reciprocated.

Thanks again. Much love as always, Nicola 🧡☀️

Dear clients,

Within our sessions I’m doing much more than listening. I’m noticing many things about the way you settle and how you get comfy.

You’ll feel welcome to take your shoes off and curl up on my sofa, under a blanket if it helps, with the offer of a calming warm drink if this is what you need.

You’ll quickly see you can be just as you are in my presence, no airs and graces needed, just real and raw humanness please.. in our sessions we will laugh, cry and sometimes even swear if this is how we’re feeling.. it’s all okay with me.

I’ll provide you with a journal and pen to pour your heart into in between our sessions, you’ll know this is if and when you feel the urge.. no pressure to write if it’s not flowing.

I’ll provide you with resources, worksheets, affirmations, website links and lived experience to aid our work and support you in the interim.

You also know if you’re struggling with all that bubbles up within, now the lid to those experiences has been taken off, you can reach out via text in between times, for an extra boost and reminder that, I’m holding the belief in you till you can find some of your own.

All because you matter so much to me 🧡

It takes a great deal of fortitude to wake up to our own unhealthy patterns and even more to actually attempt to change them.

This is why therapy can be so helpful, as the therapeutic relationship built with clients, helps to cushion these kinds of discoveries, allowing us both to be honest and open about the aspects we’re noticing, both in the experiences the client is bringing and in what may be going on in our own alliance.

All of this is made possible, held safely and contained within solid boundaries, to allow the potency of the core therapeutic conditions to work their magic.

The wind can blow around as much paper as it likes then, for we are watching and learning, taking responsibility and welcoming change.
