You are not responsible for what happened to you, but you are responsible for what you become.
Talking it through can help gain clarity and closure.

End of January already!
For some people, the “new year motivation” is still going strong. For others, it’s faded… or never really showed up at all.
If this month has felt heavy, slow, or nothing like the fresh start you hoped for, that’s OK. There’s no deadline for growth, healing, or change.
Counselling isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself, with compassion.
If you’d like support as the year unfolds, I’m here for you 🩷

A new year doesn’t require a “new you”, just continued care, reflection, and kindness toward yourself. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.
I look forward to supporting you in the year ahead. ❤️

Please don’t ignore the red flags.
There is always a way out.
RIP Holly 😢

Holly’s life ended in the most brutal way at the hands of her abuser. She was just 26 years old. In her memory, we are sharing red flag behaviours of perpetrators of domestic abuse and information on the help and support available.

This is another Christmas that family face without Holly, pictured here as they would like her to be remembered – a loving, happy girl who should have had her life ahead of her.

Red flag behaviour:
🚩 Jealousy, suspicion, rage, control – this is not the behaviour of a loving partner.
🚩 Love bombing you one minute, only to give you the silent treatment the next.
🚩 Asking you repeatedly where you are going or where you are.
🚩 Following you, monitoring your phone, or checking on you relentlessly.
🚩 Isolating you from your friends and family.
🚩 Harming, or threatening to harm your pets.
🚩 Threatening to hurt themselves if you leave.

Help and support:
➡️ The Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Specialist Service (LDASS) offer information, advice and where eligible, specialist intervention support.
➡️ If you have concerns that a partner or ex is abusive, you can ask us under Clare’s Law (for yourself or someone else) if there is information that we hold that indicates they may be a risk.
➡️ You can use 'safe spaces', available in pharmacies, where you can find out about your options and the support available.
➡️ The National Domestic Abuse Helpline is always open (including Christmas Day): 0808 2000 247
➡️ We are always open: call us on 101 or 999 if it’s an emergency.

Moments like this remind me why I do this work.
I’m feeling grateful for the trust placed in me and for the chance to support people through their challenging times and witness their growth.

Thank you 🥰

If you were abused as a child, you may be at higher risk of repeating what you learned, but it is not your fate.
Pain can shape the nervous system, especially under stress. Healing, awareness, and support can change that pattern.

The fact that you’re reflecting on this already matters.
Cycles can end.

Turning hurt from an excuse into motivation is a process. Real, messy, and powerful when you commit to it.

Counselling can be one of the most effective ways to turn hurt into motivation because it gives you structure, support, and tools to transform your story instead of being stuck in it.
Don’t be afraid to reach out.

People’s behavior is often a reflection of their own fears, insecurities, and assumptions, not a judgment of your worth.

Have a peaceful weekend everyone 🥰

One of the biggest signs of childhood trauma is trying to convince the people who are hurting us to treat us well instead of walking away.

Every growth, no matter how small, is still a growth. Be kind to yourself 🥰
