Nothing changes if 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 changes.

At midnight tonight the price goes to £97.

I know some of you have been thinking about this for a while. I know because I can see it, the people who keep watching, keep reading, keep coming back to the posts.
So let me make this very simple.

On 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲, from 7 to 9pm, I'm going to give you something most people never receive:

💛 A clear, practical understanding of your emotional world.
💛 The tools to work with it.
💛 And the beginning of what it feels like to stop being at the mercy of your own reactions.

Two hours. £47. 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 only.

Comment or message me directly right now and I'll get you the payment link.

'Freeing.' That is exactly what this work is supposed to feel like.

Not controlled, suppressed or forced into submission. Free.

Free to feel things without being at their mercy. Free to understand what's happening inside you instead of being ambushed by it. Free from the exhausting cycle of hiding, building, boiling over, and then starting again.

This is what changes when someone is finally given the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀.

If this sounds like the kind of freedom you'd like, my two-hour beginners' workshop on 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 is the PERFECT place to start.

Early bird price of £47 closes Tuesday, 26th May.

I hear this all the time.

The good day arrives and you think: this is it. I've finally figured it out! I feel calm, I feel capable, I feel like myself.

And then something happens.
A message.
A tone.
A look.

Someone asks the wrong thing at the wrong moment. And just like that, you're back at square one, flooded, reactive, ashamed, exhausted.

And then the shame about being back at square one becomes its own problem.

This isn't a weakness or a lack of willpower or self-awareness. It's what happens
when you haven't yet been given the tools to sustain the regulation you're capable of.

Because the good days aren't flukes. They're evidence of what's possible. What's missing is the framework to make them the rule rather than the exception.

That framework, what emotions are, why yours respond the way they do, and the specific skills to work with them in the moments that are actually hard, is exactly what my two-hour workshop covers.

𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲. 𝟳–9𝗽𝗺. 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

Early bird price of £47 closes on Tuesday, 26th May. After that, it's £97.

Last weekend I had my 50th birthday party. One of my biggest values is FUN, so it’s not surprising that I picked a comedy Elvis impersonator to be the entertainment.

Elvis was BRILLIANT and he had the audience laughing, singing, dancing and enjoying themselves.

The venue was rammed, I was surrounded by (nearly) everyone I loved. I was really touched by everyone coming to celebrate with me. I’m still recovering from it all this week!

But here's what I know without a doubt as an emotion regulation specialist and a newly minted 50-year-old:

𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁.

Connection, laughter, presence, these aren't indulgent. They are genuinely regulating. Your nervous system needs them.

Give yourself the party. Invite Elvis. Dance badly. 🕺💛

This is what happens when someone is 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵.

She wasn’t told to feel differently or suppress what she feels, she was simply given a framework for understanding what her emotions actually are, what they're for, and how to work with them instead of being worked over by them.

This client had tried other therapies. They hadn't worked because those approaches never addressed the emotional piece at all.

DBT does. It is the only approach I know of that starts there.

If you've tried therapy before and felt like something was still missing, this could be exactly what you were looking for.

My two-hour beginners' workshop is on 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲. It's the perfect place to start.
𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 £𝟰𝟳 is available until 26th May.

This is Lisa. We've been friends for 20 years. Her husband and mine have known each other for at least 45 years between them, which means this friendship predates me, which I choose not to think about too hard. 😂

We've done a lot together. Meals out, holidays, concerts, the kind of nights that end far later than any of us planned. We've been through a lot together too, the stuff that tests friendships and either breaks them or makes them something you can't imagine your life without.

This photo was taken on Cromer seafront, as part of my 50th birthday celebrations. We went away for the weekend together. Walked, talked, ate well, laughed a lot.

There's definitely a narrative out there that highly sensitive people struggle with relationships. That the intensity, the emotional reactivity, the fear of rejection, makes a close connection difficult to sustain.

And it's true that without the right skills, it can be.

But sensitivity (understood and worked with) also makes you one of the most loyal, perceptive, deeply present friends a person can have.

Lisa has had the full experience of being my friend. All of it. The sensitivity included.
And here we are on Cromer seafront. Still going. 💛

If you're someone who feels deeply and worries, that makes you too much for the people around you, it doesn't. It just means you need the tools to work with what you feel, rather than being worked over by it.

That's exactly what my two-hour beginners' workshop on 9th June is for.

You've probably heard of CBT. You might have tried it.

You may have done years of talking therapy and come away understanding yourself deeply, but still find yourself unable to change what happens in the moment.

That gap has a name and it's not a failure of insight; it's a skills gap.

𝗗𝗕𝗧 (𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆) was specifically developed for people who experience emotions intensely and struggle to regulate them. It is one of the most evidence-based approaches available. NICE guidelines recommend it for the most complex emotional presentations in the mental health system.

And it is genuinely rare. It requires specialist training, ongoing clinical supervision, and a sustained commitment to the model. It is not something you pick up in a weekend course.

I am a 𝗗𝗕𝗧 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁; it is all I do.

The difference between understanding your patterns and being able to change them in real time, that's what DBT teaches. Not one day when you feel ready. In the actual moment, when it's hard, when the emotion is loud and the old response is right there waiting.

That's what I'll be teaching in my two-hour workshop on 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.
Early bird price of £47 is available until 26th May.

Don’t miss the important announcement at the end 😂

Today I turn 50. I know. Try to contain your shock. 😂

I'll be marking this milestone in the way I have spent the last several years learning is actually the right way to spend any significant day:

With people I love. Good food. Laughter. And absolutely zero apology for any of it.
Because here is something I know at 50 that I did not know at 30, or 40, or honestly for most of my adult life:

Your time and energy are not infinite. And the people and experiences you pour them into are a choice, even when it doesn't feel like one.

For a long time, I said yes to things I didn't want to do, spent time with people who left me feeling depleted, and told myself that was just what being a good person looked like.

It wasn't. It was people-pleasing dressed up as generosity.
Knowing the difference (and having the courage to act on it) is one of the most radical things you can do for your emotional well-being.

So today I am doing exactly what I want to do, with exactly the people I want to do it with. And I am not apologising to a single soul.

If you're someone who finds that easier said than done, who says yes when you mean no, who spends energy on people who don't replenish it, who feels guilty for prioritising yourself, that's not a character flaw.

It's something that can change. And it's exactly what I help with.
Here's to 50. 🥂💛

None of them changed who they are. They were just given tools they'd never had before.

I have something special lined up to teach you these tools. It's for the overthinkers. The over feelers. The ones who are exhausted by their own inner world and ready to actually do something about it.

In two hours, you'll understand what your emotions actually are and what they're for. You'll know why yours feel so overwhelming. And you'll leave with practical, evidence-based DBT tools you can use immediately, not one day when things calm down, but right now.

The early bird price is £47. That price is available until 26th May. After that it goes up to £97.

Spaces are limited and I'll be closing the list when we're full.

If you want to secure your place at £47, comment below and I'll send you everything you need. 💛

I recently went to a glass art workshop at Quirky Cottage Glass with some friends.

I came home with something I am unexpectedly proud of, and I had so much fun doing it, too!

There's something incredible that happens when you do something creative and hands-on. You can feel the change throughout your nervous system as you become more engrossed in the project.

For some people, it might be a glass workshop, for others, it might be pottery, perhaps it’s gardening, or tinkering on a car.

And I find it really interesting that the kind of people who come to me for support rarely arrive asking for creativity or rest. They arrive exhausted. Reactive. Ashamed of their own emotional responses. Convinced that something is fundamentally wrong with them.

Part of what they need are these little pockets of creativity and rest, however that may look for them.

But until you understand what is happening in your body and why, making time for rest might fill you with guilt or make you feel uncomfortable.

That’s why I have a two-hour beginners' workshop coming up on 9th June. Just a couple of hours, one evening for YOURSELF that will completely change the way you make time for yourself and make space for your emotions going forward.

Comment for more details.

A productive day in London meeting with Judith Mohring from ADHDed to further develop workshops and programmes supporting people with ADHD.

We explored how DBT-informed emotion regulation skills can help individuals better understand and manage overwhelm, impulsivity, stress, and relationships, while building confidence and self-awareness in everyday life.

There’s something powerful about bringing together lived experience, clinical knowledge and practical tools to create support that is compassionate, evidence-informed and genuinely accessible.

Excited for what’s ahead.
