Love this.
Such simple insight.
There are good days and bad days for everyone. Life is not always roses round the door….. and if it was, we wouldn’t appreciate when life feels good.

💧☔️ we need rain and sunshine ☀️

Every day is a gift to be appreciated. 🎁. Enjoy the day for what ever small or large thing it brings you x

Good morning, you lovely lot.
Monday morning check-in.

Now, I know fine well it isn’t always easy to spring out of bed full of the joys. Life can be bloody hard at times, and some mornings it takes a bit more effort than others just to get yourself moving.

But what’s the alternative?

So come on… up and at it.

Open the curtains, get the kettle on, take a breath, and give the day a chance. You don’t have to conquer the world before lunchtime. Just start. One job, one walk, one phone call, one decent meal, one small thing that makes you feel a little more like yourself.

There’s still good stuff out there. Good people, good food, good music, a bit of fresh air, a laugh where you least expect it.

So here’s your gentle nudge from me this morning.

Get up. Get washed. Get dressed. Make the day meet you halfway.

And if today feels a bit heavy, be kind to yourself. You’re still here, and that matters.

Have a good Monday, folks.

Being the 'strong one' doesn’t always feel strong.

From the outside, it can look like holding everything together yet on the inside, it can feel like everything’s falling apart or like you’re just hanging on by a thread.

Being the one people have come to depend and rely on, the one who keeps going, no matter what, can over time, become exhausting.

And it can come with things that aren’t always visible, like feeling unseen, pushing your own emotions to one side for the sake of others or becoming less in tune with how you really feel.

There might be a fear that if you slow down and feel what’s underneath, you won’t be able to show up in the way others need you to.

And in some ways, being the strong one can become a role. An expectation. A way of coping, sometimes a way of avoiding what’s going on inside.

But just because you’re often the strong one, doesn’t mean you have to carry everything on your own.

In therapy, this is often the part that finally gets space,
the part that’s been holding everything together for so long and rarely gets the chance to be supported.

Heartfelt condolences to to Ellie’s family and friends and anyone affected by the recent tragic accident.

Coming back from holiday to find this in the post has made my day. The online training and written essays challenged my brain somewhat and was a big commitment on many of the weekends between October and May.

The Diploma has enhanced my expertise and expanded my knowledge for working with neurodiverse clients (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia, as well as neurodiversity acquired through traumatic brain injury).

The Greenane Centre is a Leading Psychotherapy & Mental Health CPD Training Provider based in Ireland and offered a very supportive and inclusive learning environment. I met some amazing fellow therapists, now great contacts to have.

ADHD show up very differently in women and can often be diagnosed later in life. Women are also very adept at masking.
If you would like to explore with a neuro-affirming counsellor or need support along your journey towards or following diagnosis, please contact me.

ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all — and gender can play a big role in how it's experienced and recognised.

👨🏽 Men
More likely to show external symptoms
• Hyperactivity
• Impulsivity
• Restlessness

Often diagnosed earlier due to more obvious behavioural signs

👩🏼 Women
More likely to show internal symptoms
• Inattention
• Overthinking
• Emotional overwhelm

Often misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression

Many don’t receive a diagnosis until adulthood

Raising awareness of these differences helps more people access the support they’ve been missing.

And the winner is……….Changing Seasons Counselling…again

I did it again! Blown away. Apparently a lot of competition this year in this region as more therapists are training to work with couples. Still managed to impress the judges for a third year running.
Every day I’m thankful for my small counselling business created 10.5 years ago all by myself. It’s full on a lot of the time and not always blue skies but it’s my creation, my privilege and I get to meet the loveliest clients every day.

Have a great day whatever you are doing. 🌸
