I explored Alice Holt forest for the first time yesterday 🌲πŸͺΎ

Have you been out in nature recently? It can be hard since the weather impacts outdoors time, but I find even a rainy walk can be refreshing and reset the mind πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†”οΈπŸ§ 

I do like the saying: there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing πŸ§₯ I find it just makes me appreciate the warmth and my cup of tea at home even more πŸ₯°

Have a lovely Sunday! ☺️

My time before sessions today was all about self-care. Of the boring but necessary variety - a routine medical appointment, and then the more fun, chilled variety - chai lattes, my kindle and making friends with geese πŸͺΏπŸ˜πŸžοΈ

Have a lovely 2nd half of the week 😊 and make sure you're taking care of you! πŸ«΅πŸ»πŸ’“

Sometimes the difference between moving forward and feeling stuck isn't the path itself, but in the small choices, mindset, and self-compassion we bring along the way πŸ§ πŸ’‘πŸ›£οΈ Progress and setbacks often look very similar from the outside. What matters is how we navigate them internally.

Take some extra moments to enjoy your cuppa, mince pie, and don't forget to make the most of any winter sun 🌞

I'm practising what I preach and having a couple of days off from the 22nd 😌 I'll also be doing the above, and opening the quality streets, if I don't open them before! πŸ¬πŸ˜‚

But I'll still be popping up on Instagram sharing any insightful posts I see. And I'm working as normal this week.

Have a lovely one! πŸŽ„

πŸŒ΄πŸŒƒβœ¨ Where Growth Meets Belonging

Part 2 of my trip to Asia! πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore felt like stepping into the future and somehow feeling right at home. A city built on hard work and big dreams, yet grounded in family, shared tables, and late-night meals that don’t cost the world.

From hawker centres where everyone gathers side by side, to gardens woven through skyscrapers touching the clouds, and streets that carry echoes of the past alongside modern ambition, it’s clear that balance can exist even in the busiest of places.

It was safe, welcoming, and full of heart - a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be energising, inspiring, and communal πŸ’š

I spent my time trying new foods, meeting my partner's family, exploring unfamiliar streets, and challenging myself to go further than before. The heat alone was a challenge πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯ Each moment reminded me that life isn’t linear: if one path closes, another can open just ahead, waiting for you to take the next step.

Here’s to belonging, even when you’re far from home.
To possibility in every direction.
To growth, connection, and new experiences. ✨

Life isn’t just the big moments. It’s the small ones that stay with us β˜•β„οΈ Pilates, a good book, a cosy drink… these little glimmers help me feel more grounded and alive.

Yesterday threw me off a bit. I felt emotional and not quite myself, but I took things one step at a time and let the day unfold gently. And I ended it feeling lighter and grateful πŸ’›

We all have days like that - when things feel heavier than usual and we just need someone to listen and help us make sense of it.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing a safe space to explore what’s going on for you, I’m here.

Calm under the chaos πŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ›΅

Thailand had this calm under the chaos energy I can't stop thinking about ✨

Autumn feels like the opposite - heavier, slower. But Chiang Mai showed me a beautiful paradox. Scooters in every direction, traffic, busy, no pavement, then, just around the corner, a sanctuary. Nature, stillness, peace, beauty πŸ›•πŸͺ· πŸ’›

We can find peace even in chaos.

This was my first trip to Asia. I was moved by the temples as someone that has found healing in meditation and yoga throughout the years.

Take this as your reminder to find the calm amongst the chaos πŸ¦‹

Out of office πŸ“΄ Back 30th October 🧳

If you're reading this on Friday 10th October then Happy World Mental Health Day! πŸ’›

I'm having a couple of weeks off so I will be back then πŸ‘‹πŸΌ I'm looking forward to this holiday as I'm feeling pretty tired.

What's your top mental health tip?

Enjoy the autumnal leaves if you're local to me πŸ‚ And have a lovely rest of October. Look after yourself πŸ€—

I am so happy it's September πŸ‚βœ¨

Here are some of my Hampton court pictures when I was exploring the other day. It rained during my walk around the palace but you can't really complain about weather in beautiful grounds. Ice cream is nice in any weather too!

What's your favourite season? Vote in the poll below. Autumn is mine!

Autumn can be a great time to start therapy since we begin to spend less time outdoors and all the academic year shenanigans begin. I've got some slots available at the moment 😊 I'd love to work with you! 🍁☯️

I've loved getting back into yoga this week. Although I can't lie, getting out whilst it's raining hasn't been as easy as when the sun is shining πŸ˜” The yoga teacher this week used some lovely essential oils at the end of the class, during the most relaxing part. I felt so chilled.

The summer time is usually a little quieter in the therapy world πŸŒ‡ Often people are enjoying their summer, going on holidays and, because of mother nature's power, feeling better πŸŒžπŸ“ˆ

If you're not in the same boat then I have some in person and online availability πŸ“… My in person sessions take place in Surbiton, close to Surbiton train station.

At the moment I have Tuesdays 5pm and Fridays 4pm available in Surbiton. If you have any questions just pop me a message on here or an email πŸ“¨ my email is info@embracingemotions.co.uk

❓ What do sessions look like?

πŸ”ΈThey're usually 50 minutes long.

πŸ”ΈWe will set a goal or 2 in your first session. Realistic, positive and achievable ones. And this will be what we work towards and revisit as we go along.

πŸ”ΈI will ask open questions which will deepen our understanding of your emotions and current life situation.

πŸ”ΈI'll check in on your mental health history, family and friend relationships, any risks, and inform you about confidentiality and its limits.

πŸ”ΈThere's plenty of opportunity for questions too.

😌 Most people leave my therapy sessions feeling more grounded, sure of themselves, and with a tool kit of coping mechanisms πŸ’Ό
