Where’s your favourite place in East Devon to unwind?

A quiet beach, countryside walk, or somewhere a little hidden?

Pop it in the comments, always nice to discover new peaceful spots.

One of the most painful parts of sexual abuse is the silence that often surrounds it. Shame, fear, or worry about being believed can stop people from reaching out. But what happened to you was not your fault. You deserve to be heard with care, respect, and compassion.

If you ever feel ready to talk, support is here — at your pace, in your time.

Feel free to contact me for a free chat :)

Sometimes trauma shows up in ways we don’t immediately recognise.

You might notice:
• Feeling constantly on edge
• Avoiding certain people or situations
• Struggling with trust
• Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
• Sudden waves of emotion or numbness

These responses are not weakness — they are often the mind trying to protect you.
Support can help you gently make sense of these experiences.

Happy Mother’s Day

Today can mean many different things to different people.
For some, it’s a day of celebration and gratitude.

For others, it may bring feelings of loss, distance, or complicated memories.
However today feels for you, those feelings are valid.

To all the mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, carers, and those who nurture and support others in their own way — your care and strength matter more than you may realise.

Be gentle with yourself today.

Talking about trauma or sexual abuse can feel incredibly difficult.

Many people carry these experiences silently for years, sometimes believing they should simply “move on” or keep it hidden.

But the impact of trauma can show up in many ways — anxiety, difficulty trusting others, feeling numb, or struggling in relationships.

Healing does not have to happen alone. Support exists, and it can happen at your own pace.

Today is a moment to recognise the strength, resilience, and courage of women everywhere.

It’s also a reminder that behind many achievements and roles — as mothers, daughters, partners, professionals, and friends — women are often carrying unseen pressures, expectations, and challenges.

Today we celebrate women’s voices, women’s stories, and the importance of supporting one another with compassion and understanding.

To all the women navigating life in their own unique way — your strength matters, your wellbeing matters, and your voice deserves to be heard.

One of the hardest things I find — both personally and in my work — is how many people struggle silently.

So often, someone will sit in front of me and say, “I didn’t think it was bad enough to talk about,” or “I thought I should just cope.”

We can be incredibly good at minimising our own pain. At convincing ourselves that other people have it worse. At keeping a brave face.

But pain isn’t a competition. And struggling quietly can be exhausting.

If something feels heavy to you, that’s reason enough. You don’t have to reach breaking point before you’re allowed support.

How can eating disorders affect you?

Eating disorders are about far more than food. They can affect your thoughts, your body, your relationships, and how you see yourself.

You might find that food and weight take up most of your mental space. You may feel guilt, shame, anxiety, or a need for control that becomes overwhelming. It can impact your mood, your energy levels, your sleep, your concentration, and your confidence.
Relationships can feel strained. Social situations involving food may become stressful. You might withdraw or feel misunderstood.

Eating disorders can be isolating — but they are not a personal failure. They are often coping mechanisms for deeper emotional pain.

Support can help you explore what’s underneath, at a pace that feels safe. You don’t have to face it alone.

Some days you cope.
Some days you thrive.
Some days you just get through.
All of those count.

We often put pressure on ourselves to be consistent, motivated, positive, but being human isn’t linear. It moves in waves.

If today is a “just getting through” kind of day, that’s okay.

You’re still doing enough.

This one hit me because it’s real.
A lot of us were taught:
“If he loves his mom, he’ll love you right.”
But what really matters is what he watched growing up.
Because people don’t just learn love from words…
they learn it from patterns.
How conflict was handled.
Who was respected.
Who stayed quiet.
Who carried everything alone.
You can love your mother deeply
and still repeat the same unhealthy dynamics you saw.
I learned that the hard way.
Love without accountability isn’t partnership.
Affection without emotional responsibility isn’t safety.
This isn’t about blame.
It’s about awareness.
Healing means unlearning what was said was “normal.”
And choosing to do better.
If this resonates, you’re not alone. 🤍
You didn’t imagine it. You weren’t “too much.”
You were asking for basic respect.

Today isn’t just about romantic love.

It can be about kindness, connection, friendship — or simply being gentle with yourself.

Whether you’re celebrating with someone, missing someone, or choosing to spend today quietly, your experience is valid. Love looks different for everyone.

Wishing you a day that feels kind, in whatever way you need it to.

07/02/2026

Eating disorders are rarely about food.

They’re often about control, safety, self-worth, and surviving difficult emotions.
In counselling, we don’t rush.

We start with stabilisation, safety, and understanding, at your pace.

Recovery doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly.

It means not being alone with it anymore.
