For a long time, I didn’t realise I was struggling with my mental health.

Looking back now, I can see that I was emotionally sensitive from a young age and often felt overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure how to cope with the intensity of my feelings, through childhood, adolescence, and into my early twenties.

There were many years of feeling low, muddling through, and trying to get by without really understanding what was going on inside me. At times, it felt incredibly bleak. The turning point came when I realised something fundamental needed to change. I wasn’t prepared to stay stuck or continue struggling in that way.

I went on a real journey to understand myself better, trying different types of therapy and gradually learning practical skills around emotional regulation and managing life’s challenges.

It was never a straight line. There were steps forward, setbacks, and moments of doubt along the way, and if this is you right now, this is normal. No journey is a neat straight line!

But over time, I was able to build a quality of life I never thought was possible.
My own experiences taught me something I carry into my work every day:

change is possible, even with long-term and complex mental health challenges.

With the right support, practical tools, and a willingness to make change, life really can feel calmer, more manageable, and more fulfilling. This journey is what shapes the empathy and understanding I bring into the work I do today.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably already struggling to keep your New Year’s Resolution.

Rather than “New Year, New You,” I prefer “New Year, Be You”.

Remind yourself that resolutions aren’t about becoming someone entirely different - they’re an invitation to grow in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Real change comes from building on who you already are, at a pace and in a way that honours your personality, values and lifestyle.

If you're currently trying to stick to a New Year's Resolution, try not to overload yourself. Instead, pick just one habit and set a clear, defined goal. For example, commit to “walking 30 minutes a day,” or “cutting out sugary drinks,” rather than a full-blown “get fit and lose weight” plan.

Once that habit feels automatic, you can layer on more. This helps you build momentum and reduces overwhelm.

The final day of the year always brings a mixture of reflection and possibility.

Something I've been reflecting on are the recurrent themes that arise in my work with midlife women: emotional fatigue, identity shifts, pressure, responsibility - and, importantly, a growing desire for alignment, authenticity and change.

As we move into 2025, I hope more women will feel able to prioritise their emotional wellbeing and recognise the strength in seeking support - not as a sign of weakness, but as an act of self-leadership.

Let's carve out the necessary space for ourselves, with intentions that honour our wellbeing, support our needs and bring about our desire for change.

Wishing you a meaningful, restorative start to the new year.

As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on how much I’ve changed…

I look back at my younger self and I feel like a different person. Life is still busy with multiple demands needing to be fulfilled, but today I carry some extra strengths: wisdom, greater knowledge and valuable lived experience.

Like so many women, I’ve spent decades wearing many hats - therapist, mother, partner, friend, daughter. And in the process, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves.

So many women tell me:

“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
“I feel invisible.”
“My roles have changed, and so have I.”
“I’m tired of trying to be everything to everyone.”

The end of a year can magnify those feelings - or give us a powerful moment to pause, reclaim ourselves and choose what we want next.

Redefining our identity, recognising our experience, and valuing our contribution - to ourselves, others and society - is crucial to finding meaning and purpose in our lives.

Flourish Midlife offers the space to do exactly that. A supportive, intimate programme to reconnect with your identity, strengths and purpose - alongside women walking a similar path.

Christmas is a time for family gatherings… and with that can come family tension.

Yesterday, I was quoted in a BBC News article on how to avoid family fallouts over Christmas, sharing why passive-aggressive remarks often say more about the other person’s stress than about us - and how pausing before reacting can make a real difference.

Complicated family dynamics don’t disappear just because it’s Christmas, but it can be powerful to recognise that we do have a choice in how we respond.

When passive-aggressive or loaded comments arise, pausing, seeking clarification, and tuning into what’s really being communicated can help de-escalate conflict, without excusing hurtful behaviour or abandoning your own needs.

These are themes I regularly work with as a psychotherapist: managing emotional reactivity, staying grounded under pressure, and choosing responses rather than reacting on autopilot.

If Christmas conversations tend to feel loaded, this article may be helpful - I’ve linked it in my stories.

Wishing you a peace-filled Christmas 🎄

The countdown is on - and with less than a week to go, you may already be sensing the signs of seasonal burnout.

Now is the time to protect your boundaries. Here are a few gentle reminders:

• Say “no” when you need to.
Be fair to yourself. You don’t have to carry everyone else’s needs at the expense of your own.

• Don’t apologise for honouring your limits.
If you’re at capacity, say so. There’s no shame in protecting your energy - remember, boundaries are an act of self-respect.

• Be clear and kind.
Communicating your limits isn’t unkind. It’s honest, healthy and it models emotional wellbeing for the people around you too.

Supporting yourself now means you’ll have more capacity to enjoy the big day - not just push through it.

A festive recharge with friends! Christmas is such an important time to connect with loved ones - laughing, sharing stories, and simply being together.

These moments of connection are more than just fun -they recharge our energy, lift our mood, and remind us who we are beyond all the roles we play.

This festive season, make space for the people who make you feel seen, supported, and truly yourself.

Tag someone you're overdue a catch-up with and get that date in the diary!

Even if you’re the ultimate Christmas enthusiast - a minute-by-minute Christmas dinner schedule, matching pyjamas, the works - there will still be moments when overwhelm sneaks up on you. And when it does, the STOP skill can make all the difference:

S – Stop. Don’t just react. Freeze and take a moment before doing anything.
T – Take a breath. Step back and give yourself space before acting on emotion.
O – Observe. Notice what’s happening around you and inside you - your thoughts, feelings, and what others are saying or doing. Separate the facts from the assumptions that your mind might be adding to the situation.
P – Proceed mindfully. Choose how to respond, rather than simply reacting. Consider what outcome you want and what action will help you get there.

This simple technique helps you regain control in the moment and respond calmly, rather than being swept up in stress.

Follow along for more tips and advice.

It may only be the 14th of December, but seasonal overwhelm has a way of creeping in quietly - often faster than we expect. One of the most effective ways to manage it is to anticipate your stressors before they take hold.

It also helps to understand your own emotional style - are you someone who tends to worry and let thoughts build until they feel unmanageable? Or do you lean towards emotional avoidance - pushing feelings aside until overwhelm arrives all at once?

Take a moment to ask yourself:

What is it about this season that feels particularly difficult for me?

We all have different personalities, circumstances and needs, so identifying your specific triggers is the key to managing them more effectively.

Once you know what sets your stress in motion, you can put strategies in place to soften the impact.

In my next post, I’ll be sharing a practical, evidence-based coping technique to help you navigate this time of year with more ease. Follow along so you don’t miss it.
