Grateful. Energised. Still buzzing.

My Working Well in 2026 event was everything I hoped it would be - and more.

Over 40 people came together for an evening of conversation, connection and networking. Business owners, professionals, familiar faces and new introductions.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to come along and be part of it. Thank you all.

A huge thank you as well to those who helped make the evening happen Keeley Dennyschene for the beautiful venue and 5 star hospitality, James Holden for my website launch, Becky Considine my brilliant, VA for all your hard work behind the scenes and on the night.

To my wider network who consistently show up and champion my work. I couldn’t do this without you.

Last night felt like a real milestone, a reflection of how my work has evolved over the past year and the exciting direction it’s heading in 2026.

Thank you for being part of it.

Here’s to working well together in the year ahead.

Why being told to "calm down" doesn't help!

Sometimes people say:
“Just calm down” or “Just stop worrying”

But if your body is already in alert mode, your brain is REACTING to the body, not causing the problem.
That’s why calming the body first (slow breathing, movement, grounding) often helps the mind calm down too.

The brain and body listen to each other all the time.
That’s how humans stay safe, learn, and cope with the world.

Blue Monday isn’t real.

There is no credible psychological or scientific evidence that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year.

The idea came from a marketing formula - not neuroscience, not psychology, not mental health research.

Here’s the problem:
When we label a day as universally depressing, we:
Normalise low mood as inevitable
Reduce complex emotional experiences to a headline
Encourage people to expect struggle rather than understand it

Low mood, stress, fatigue and burnout don’t follow a calendar date.
They’re shaped by workload, sleep, pressure, nervous system overload, life events and how supported someone feels.

As a psychotherapist, what I see behind closed doors is this:
People don’t need more labels for how they should feel.
They need better understanding of what’s actually happening in their body and mind and what helps.

Mental health isn’t seasonal marketing.
It’s ongoing, relational, and physiological.

Let’s move away from gimmicks and towards psychology-led conversations that actually support people to function well at work and in life.

What are your thoughts?

Behind closed doors in therapy, I see what pressure actually does to people.

Not just emotionally,
but neurologically.
Physiologically.
Behaviourally.

I bring those insights into workplaces so leaders and teams understand:
• What stress does to the brain and nervous system
• Why people become reactive, avoidant, overwhelmed or disengaged
• How to regulate pressure, think clearly and perform better

This isn’t a “mental health talk”.
It’s psychology-led performance training.

Because when people understand their nervous system, they don’t just cope,
they lead better, communicate better, and make better decisions under pressure.

And that’s where sustainable performance really comes from.

If your organisation wants performance with psychological intelligence, let’s talk.

Surviving the Season: 5 Therapist-Backed Tips

For many of us December feels like emotional overload: family dynamics, financial pressure, disrupted routines, loneliness, exhaustion… and the pressure to “be festive” on top of it all.

As a psychotherapist, here are 5 grounded tips to help you move through the season with steadiness, not stress:

1. Lower the bar — emotionally and practically.
Give yourself permission not to do everything, attend everything, or feel everything you think you “should”. Realistic expectations are protective for your nervous system.

2. Create micro-moments of calm.
You don’t need an hour of meditation.
Try 60 seconds of slow exhale breathing before entering a busy room. Small resets, repeated often, keep your system regulated.

3. Protect your energy with gentle boundaries.
It’s okay to say no.
It’s okay to leave early.
It’s okay to choose peace over pleasing.
Boundaries aren’t rejection, they’re self-respect.

4. Notice what you need, not just how you feel.
Feeling overwhelmed? You might need space.
Feeling lonely? You might need connection.
Feeling drained? You might need rest.
Needs give direction. Emotions give information.

5. Stay connected to people who feel safe.
Whether it’s a friend, colleague, partner, or online community. Regulate with people who make you feel grounded, not judged. Co-regulation is one of the most powerful tools we have.

If this time of year feels heavy, you’re not failing, you’re human.
You’re allowed to make this season work for you, not against you.
