This weeks debate on learning through play really stayed with me. Play isn’t “extra” - it’s how children learn about emotions, relationships and the world around them. Those early experiences matter for mental health far beyond early years. This is why protecting play matters so much.

Learned something new in training today: menopause isn’t just physical and emotional - it reshapes the brain too! Inspired to support myself and others better

I need your help! 😊

A client and I are running a super short survey (only a couple of minutes), and your honest opinions would be incredibly valuable to our therapy together.

Thanks for supporting — truly appreciate it 💙

If you’ve ever wondered what all the different therapies actually do (and secretly thought it shouldn’t be this confusing)… you’re not alone.
I’ve tried to untangle it — calmly, kindly, and without a flowchart.

The perfect ending. Snow falling, laughter loud, and a holiday where we truly paused, connected, and breathed a little deeper. Back to work tomorrow with a full heart and rosy cheeks

As 2025 comes to an end, I’m taking a quiet moment to pause and reflect with a full heart.

This year, my work has brought me alongside so many individuals and families during meaningful moments in their lives. The trust that comes with that is something I hold with real care.

I’m incredibly grateful for the kindness and word-of-mouth support that continues to shape this small practice in such an organic way. It truly means a great deal to me.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this year. I’m moving into the year ahead with gratitude, hope, and a deep appreciation for the work I get to do.

Happy New Year all! X

UK Budget Day… A noticeable silence around mental health.

As a CBT therapist, I always pay close attention to how national decisions shape the support people can access. Today’s Budget included many important conversations about the NHS and public services — but mental health didn’t really feature.

For so many people I work with, timely and compassionate mental-health support is life-changing. It deserves to be part of the national conversation, not an afterthought.

Here in Wales, despite continued commitments to invest in health and social care, many people are still facing long waits and limited access to mental-health services. The need is real, and it’s growing

This isn’t about criticism — it’s about recognition. Mental health is healthcare. And when it’s overlooked, people feel it in very real ways.

I hope future budgets give mental health the space and priority it truly deserves. Our wellbeing, our relationships, our ability to cope, connect, and thrive… it all depends on it.
