Healing from trauma isn’t a straight line, it’s a journey. 🌿

Did you know that 70% of adults experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime?

But here’s the thing: trauma isn’t just about what happened to you, it’s about how your body and mind continue to hold onto it.

💡 What nobody tells you:

• Healing can feel messy and uncomfortable before it feels better.

• Progress is often slow, but even small steps matter.

• You don’t have to face it alone, healing happens in safe, supportive spaces.

Your trauma does not define you, and seeking help is the ultimate act of strength. If you're ready to take the first step, I’m here to help. Get in touch today.

Living with EUPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) is like being stuck on a rollercoaster you didn’t choose to ride, Intense highs, crushing lows, and constant emotional whiplash. One moment you're soaring; the next, you're spiralling.

It’s not just mood swings, it’s battling overwhelming emotions, unstable relationships, and a deep fear of abandonment every single day.

💬 Let’s break the stigma. Share this to spread awareness and support those riding the same waves. You’re not alone. 💙

What is anxiety, really?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, uncertainty, or perceived threat. It’s that sense of unease, worry, nervousness, or fear about what might happen in the future. Often, it shows up not just in our thoughts, but in our bodies too: a racing heart, tense muscles, sweaty palms, or a feeling of restlessness.

In small doses, anxiety can be useful. It helps us stay alert and respond to danger. But when it becomes constant, intense, or starts to disrupt daily life, it may be a sign that support is needed.

If your anxiety feels like it’s taking over or you’re finding it hard to manage you don’t have to face it alone. Reach out to book an appointment and take the first step toward feeling more in control.

We are currently in a global mental health crisis🌏

🫂We need to look after ourselves now more than ever.

The modern world is destroying us all little by little, and its high time we learned the skills to protect ourselves, and the ones we love. When all you do is survive or exist, you forget how to live, and that’s where therapy comes in.

Therapy isn’t simply 🧠“brain dumping” and leaving feeling refreshed, that may work for some, but it only has a very short half life.

The work I do concentrates on teaching you to be your own therapist. To learn practical skills which enable you to cope with everything life throws at you.

You’re not always going to have good days, that is the balance of life, but you can learn to cope with them so the bad days don’t take a little piece of you each time.

I ask you, how can you appreciate the☀️sun is warm and shining, if you never experience the 🌧 cold and rain? That balance of good and bad is essential to true wellbeing. I’m here to tell you that you can use that juxtaposition to your advantage and truly appreciate everything life has to offer, good and bad.

If you are looking to make a positive change, you are in the right place - Freya

My message is this… If I can come back from the brink of self-assured destruction and use that pain to create strength for myself and others, you can do it too. I can guide you down your own path of discovery and help you get from where you are, to where you want to be

My journey into mental health started early, as I saw close family members struggle with both physical and psychiatric issues.

I became a carer for my mother, and after her death when I was just 14, my world turned upside down.

By 17, I moved away to university, but the cycle of abuse continued, and at 19, I found myself trapped in an unhealthy relationship.

I left everything behind to escape emotional, financial, and eventually physical abuse, only to face my own battle with emotional instability and EUPD.

I struggled with jobs, relationships, and ultimately with my mental health.

After losing a close friend to su***de and battling my own substance abuse and agoraphobia, I began a journey of self-discovery.

I enrolled in a psychology degree, but struggled through multiple setbacks, including attempts on my life. Despite all of this, I graduated at 32.

It was then that I discovered Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), and my life began to change.

The therapeutic techniques that once seemed foreign to me finally clicked, and for the first time, I experienced lasting improvements in my mental health.

With this new approach, I not only healed but found a deep passion for helping others who had faced similar struggles.

Now, as the Director of Private Reflection Therapy, I combine a variety of psychological interventions such as CBT, CBH, DBT, and ACT to help others build emotional resilience and stress management skills.

My goal is to guide you through the same healing process that changed my life and to show that recovery is possible, even when you feel like it’s out of reach.

EUPD is just being overly emotional.”

“People with EUPD can’t have healthy relationships.”

“EUPD isn’t treatable.”

❌ Wrong. These myths create harmful stigma and prevent people from seeking the help they deserve. The reality? EUPD is a real and serious mental health condition that affects emotional regulation, relationships, and daily life but it is not hopeless.

✔ EUPD is not just “being sensitive” it’s a complex condition that impacts how emotions are processed and managed.

✔ People with EUPD can have healthy relationships with the right tools and support. Learning emotional regulation, communication skills, and self-awareness makes a huge difference.

✔ EUPD is treatable. Evidence-based therapies like DBT, CBT, and person-centered approaches can help individuals gain control over their emotions and build a more stable, fulfilling life.

✨ You are not broken. You are not beyond help. Healing is possible.

If you’re struggling with EUPD and need guidance, I’m here to help.
At Private Reflection Therapy in Retford, I, Freya, offer compassionate, tailored support to help you manage emotional intensity, improve relationships, and build lasting resilience.

Nature is a powerful healer and it’s finally being recognised as a form of therapy in its own right.

Did you know the National Trust is partnering with mental health organisations like Mind to bring green spaces into the heart of mental health support?

From Mindful Meadows at Chirk Castle to Trust Treks across the North York Moors, nature is being embraced as a way to reduce stress, restore emotional balance, and deepen connection with ourselves.

In my own practice as a therapist, I often turn to nature as a source of calm, clarity, and grounding. Whether you're feeling burnt out, emotionally overwhelmed, or simply out of touch with yourself, nature offers space to reconnect.

Swipe through to explore how therapy and the natural world work together and feel free to drop me a message if you’d like to explore this approach further.

At Private Reflection Therapy , I see many people who think they’re just tired when, in reality, they’re experiencing burnout.

Unlike regular fatigue, burnout impacts your ability to function, leaves you feeling detached and unmotivated, and can seriously affect your mental and physical health.

It’s more than just needing a good night’s sleep, it’s a sign that something deeper needs to be addressed.

Don’t ignore the signs. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out for support. 🌱
