Ever catch yourself seeking endless reassurance, asking friends “but what if...” on repeat? 🤔

Truth is, gathering more opinions rarely quiets that inner chatter. Especially if you’re navigating life without a father figure, that need for certainty can feel overwhelming.

Instead of fighting those uncomfortable thoughts, what if we learned to sit with them? Like training a muscle, we can build tolerance for uncertainty - one small step at a time.

Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready to break free from the reassurance loop. Ready to dig deeper and transform these patterns? I have space for 1-1 therapy sessions this month. DM me or email me (link in bio) to book a free 15-minute consultation.

Number 5 is my favourite 💛

Parenting as a fatherless daughter comes with so many layers we don’t always talk about. The triggers, the tenderness, and the unexpected moments of believing in ourselves as a parent.

I’d love to know, which one do you relate to most?

If you want to explore more, I have space for 1-1 therapy sessions this month. DM me or email me (link in bio) to book a free 15-minute consultation.

Ever catch yourself people-pleasing or feeling like you’re never quite measuring up? You’re not alone - these feelings often run deep, especially when Dad wasn’t around to mirror your worth. 💗

I see this pattern so often in my therapy room, and there’s a reason these feelings keep showing up. The good news? Understanding where they come from is the first step to change.

Swipe through for 5 powerful questions that might just shed light on why you feel this way. They’ve helped so many of my clients have their ‘aha’ moments. ✨

I’d love to meet the version of you, that’s reading this right now.

I have some new 1-1 availability, if it’s something you’d like to consider. We’ll explore the options available to you, without any pressure to make a decision there and then. Like I tell all of my clients, this is your space.

This is where therapy can help, as it gives you the space to talk about the loneliness, the guilt, and the pressure, so it doesn’t stay buried inside.

If this resonates, my doors are open. Reach out if you’d like a place to unpack what this really feels like for you.

All I cared about once upon a time, was fitting in. Now all I care about is protecting my peace, in a way that still allows me to hold connection with others.

So no, you’re not imagining the craziness that’s unfolding around you. Sometimes it is about naming it what it is, with someone who gets it.

I have some new 1-1 therapy space available on a Tuesday daytime, if you’d like to explore working with me. DM or email, to start a conversation.

Just a little July/August dump to give a very tiny snippet into what I’ve been doing, whilst being absent from the grid.

1. Lots of walks as a 3
2. Quality time with Dada whilst he recovered from an operation.
3. I take sleep very seriously 😂, I had to record that one
4. My first ever 15 mile running event 🏃
5. Just doing life, the bit people don’t show, food shopping all that boring but good stuff.
6. My little girl taking her first steps 🥹 I have a full on toddler now that runs riot and I’m loving every second of this stage.

As always, this is a very small glimpse into a life that’s not perfect, not aesthetically pleasing or built for picture perfect moments. I’m just a normal human being, like you, doing life in a way that feels right for me 🥰
