🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿

I remember a time when I felt like I had to keep everything together; smile, stay strong, try and keep going no matter what. But over the years, I’ve learned that strength doesn’t mean pretending everything’s fine. It’s allowing yourself to feel, to rest, to ask for help when you need it.

Through my work as a counsellor I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone finally says, “I’m struggling.” It’s often the first brave step towards healing.

So if today, or any day, feels tough, please be kind to yourself. Take things slowly. You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to do it alone.

The little things... a walk, a chat, a quiet moment, they matter more than you realise.

You matter more than you realise. 💚

The smear campaign.

You may hear things like:

“She’s unstable.”
“She’s just doing this for attention.”
“After everything I did for her…”
“She’s under their influence — she’s not thinking straight.”

They twist the truth, weaponise your vulnerability, and present themselves as the victim — all to discredit you and regain control.

But what makes it even more devastating is when people believe them.

Not just strangers - but family members, friends, people who once saw the truth.

They carry the smear campaign forward, often not out of cruelty, but because they’re still entangled in the dysfunction.

It feels safer to protect the narcissist than to challenge the narrative.

Safer to align with them than risk being their next target.

And for you, the survivor, that brings a whole new wave of pain:

Shame

Confusion

Isolation

Grief - especially grief for the people who chose the story over you 😔

If you’re living in the wreckage of someone else’s version of your story, please know this:

You are not what they say you are.

Your truth still matters — even if others pretend not to see it.

You don’t have to carry their story forever.
Healing is possible — and you deserve to be believed, supported, and seen.

Message me if this feels familiar. You don’t have to do it alone 🤍

Your inner critic loves to tell you lies - and the more you listen, the more your self esteem is eroded.

Here are 3 of the most common lies it tells:

▪️ "I'm not good enough"
▪️"If I fail, I'm a failure"
▪️"Everyone else has it all figured out"

The truth is you are enough, mistakes don't define you, and nobody has it all together.

Therapy can help you quiet that inner critic and build a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself.

That harsh inner voice - the one that says "you're not good enough", "you'll fail", or "why even bother" - it isn't the truth.

It's your Inner critic. And while it might feel loud, it doesn't have to control you.

Building Self Esteem starts with:

▪️ Noticing the voice - almost being an observer to it.

▪️ Challenging whether it is accurate.

▪️ Practicing speaking to yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a friend
