The Soulshine Therapist, Warrington (2026)

April felt like a threshold… a month of stretching into something new- even when parts of me felt uncertain.

I was reminded (again) that on the other side of fear… there isn’t perfection or certainty- but there is possibility.

There’s movement. Expansion. A sense of this feels right, even if it’s new.

I felt deeply aligned with the energy of spring this month- new blooms, fresh perspective, a little more lightness returning.

My tarot card for April was The Fool and honestly… I lived it.

Leaning into the unknown.
Trusting myself as I went.
Letting it be messy, exciting, and real.

Launching Back To Self was my biggest focus this month- not just the logistics… but the internal shifts that came with it.

Being seen in a new way.
Sharing my voice more openly.
Letting something that means so much to me… exist outside of me.

There’s still a part of me that feels a bit like… is this actually real? And at the same time, I feel so grateful. For every message, every listen, every quiet moment of support- thank you 🙏🩷

Alongside that, my practice has felt steady and held- which is something I never take for granted.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their process this month. This work genuinely means the world to me.

April sessions included:
🦋 55 Counselling
🪽 9 Angelic Reiki
🔮 2 Tarot Therapy
🪐 1 Astro-coaching

(A reminder that healing doesn’t look one way- and I feel so grateful to support people across these different spaces.)

A real highlight this month was connecting with local therapists through BACP’s communities of practice, and learning from and her brilliant presentation.

As we move into May, I’m holding onto that expansive energy- not rushing ahead, but staying open.
Curious. Grounded. Willing.

If April asked you to stretch in any way… I’d gently invite you to pause and notice:

✨ What’s opening for you right now?
✨ What are you being asked to trust?
✨ How can you lean in that little bit more?

With love,

You know when you get to the end of the day and realise...

I was busy the whole time, but I don’t really remember being IN any of it?

Like you did everything you needed to do. Moved through your routine. Ticked things off. But it all felt a bit… flat.

Or like your days are starting to blur into each other. Nothing particularly wrong with them, but nothing really landing either.

I’ve had periods like this, where on the surface everything looked fine, but when I really paused, I could feel how disconnected I was from my own life. Like I was there, but not fully experiencing it.

And it’s easy to miss when it shows up like this. Because it often doesn’t feel big or dramatic. It just feels like going through the motions.

We’re living in a world that really values being productive, staying busy, keeping things moving - offering little to no encouragement or importance to staying connected to self.

So we work…
But we stay in our heads, focused on what needs to be done, rather than noticing how we actually feel within it.

We spend time with friends or family…
But we don’t always check in with ourselves - what we need, how we feel, whether we’re actually choosing to be there or just showing up out of habit.

We exercise…
But it can become something we repeat out of habit or expectation, rather than something we’ve chosen based on what we might enjoy or what our body is asking for.

On the surface, we’re doing all the “right” things. But we’re not always in relationship with ourselves within them. And over time, that can create a quiet kind of distance.

Not from your life, but from you within it.

If this is something you’ve been quietly wondering about, I speak about this more in this week’s podcast episode.

Exploring how we can find ourselves here in the first place, and what it can look like to start coming back into a deeper connection with ourselves again.

If you’ve realised we’ve moved out of Aries and into Ta**us, and your first thought was something like:

“I feel like I didn’t really use that properly”

I just want to gently meet you there for a second. Because with everything that’s been shared around Aries recently, it can easily feel like you were meant to do something bigger with it.

And if that didn’t feel like it happened, it can then turn into questioning yourself a little.

Why you didn’t act or whether you missed your chance But a lot of the time, Aries doesn’t show up as big, obvious action.

Sometimes it looks like:

✧ Feeling a shift in what you want, even if you can’t fully explain it yet
✧ Having thoughts or “downloads” that feel important, but not fully formed
✧ Realising you’re more unhappy than you’ve been admitting
✧ Noticing patterns in your relationships or your work that don’t sit the same anymore

And those things matter. Because moving into Ta**us isn’t about starting from scratch again.

It’s about having somewhere to place what’s already come up. This is where things can begin to feel a bit more steady.

It’s less about doing something impressive, and more about building something that actually supports you.

I speak more about Ta**us Season in today’s episode of Back to Self - and how you can, if you choose to, work with this shift in a way that feels grounding, rather than overwhelming.

There’s also a bonus episode on the Spiritual Law of Presence, which ties in really beautifully here, especially if you want something practical to help you slow down, come back into the moment, and actually experience where you are.

Some of the choices that helped me feel like me again probably looked unhinged.

Becoming less available.
Choosing more silence.
Letting myself dislike things that were supposedly “good for me.”
Honouring my cycle instead of overriding it.
Spending less time performing, and more time listening.

But that is how reconnection begins.

Not through becoming someone new. Through honesty, space, self-trust and slowly returning to what feels true.

For me, this has been both deeply human and deeply spiritual.

Human, because I needed more compassion for my needs, limits, and nervous system.

Spiritual, because every time I stopped abandoning myself, I felt closer to something deeper within.

You do not need to overhaul your whole life to come back to yourself. Sometimes it starts with one quiet, honest choice.

If this speaks to you, Back to Self is a podcast for exactly this… grounded psycho-spiritual reflections on self-trust, inner alignment, and coming home to who you are.

New episodes every Thursday 🎧

As we welcome April, I’ve been reflecting on how full March was- but not in a way that left me feeling depleted.

And honestly, that feels worth pausing to acknowledge.

So often, fullness can feel like pressure. Like too much. Like constantly giving.

But March reminded me that full can also look like meaningful work, nourishing connection, steady growth, and moments of genuine joy.

Behind the scenes at The Soulshine Therapist…

I’m incredibly grateful to have a full practice, and to have welcomed three new clients this month. I never take for granted the trust it takes to reach out for support, and I’m so thankful to every client who chooses to work with me 🙏🩷

This month included:
🦋 51 counselling sessions (26 in person and 25 online)
🪽 10 Angelic Reiki sessions
🔮 1 Tarot Therapy session
🪐 2 AstroCoaching sessions as part of beta testing an upcoming offering

I also held my Spring Equinox workshop online and received such lovely feedback afterwards. I really love creating spaces that help people pause, reflect, and realign with the season they’re in, and this one felt especially meaningful.

Alongside that, I held my monthly circle spaces- Soulshine Sister Circle and Healers’ Circle- where we explored the themes of spring and new beginnings 🌸

For my own CPD, I joined a live three-hour workshop on working with parts in therapy, bringing together IFS and person-centred theory. I came away with some really valuable tools that I’ve already started weaving into my work with clients.

And outside of work, March also held some beautiful moments of care and enjoyment: a weekend away in the North Wales countryside, an aromatherapy massage & Reiki session, 31 days of meditation, seeing live (what an artist), and a very fun evening at R&B bingo with the girls 💃🏽🎙️

March has felt full, yes- but also grounded, nourishing, and aligned. And I think that matters.

How has this month felt for you?
Has it been full in a nourishing way, or a draining one? I’d love to hear in the comments.

With love,

Sometimes the pressure to “heal properly” is heavier than people realise.

Over the years in my therapy work, I’ve noticed how many thoughtful, self-aware people quietly carry the feeling that they’re somehow getting healing wrong.

They’ve read the books.
They’ve done the journalling.
They’ve tried to stay positive, trust their intuition, forgive, grow, evolve.

And yet there can still be moments where something inside says
“Why am I still struggling with this?”

The truth is that some of the ideas we’ve absorbed about healing and personal growth aren’t as helpful as they first appear.

In therapy, real change rarely happens through pressure, perfection, or trying to follow the “right” path.

It tends to happen in spaces where people can slow down, be honest about their inner experience, and explore their emotional world without feeling like they need to perform progress.

If this post resonated, you’re very much not alone in feeling this way.

And if you’re looking for support that blends psychological insight with grounded spirituality, you’re welcome to explore working with me.

What’s one message about healing that you’ve had to unlearn? I’d love to know- leave a comment below 🙏

Being self-employed can mean missing out on the big office Christmas do… but today reminded me that connection doesn’t have to look like a huge room full of people.

I spent the afternoon with two wonderful local counsellors, Gill () and Lorraine — good food, gentle laughter, honest conversation, and that rare feeling of being understood without needing to explain a thing.

It’s easy to forget that our work, as meaningful as it is, can be quietly isolating. We hold so much space for others that we sometimes forget to make space for ourselves, or to be held in the presence of people who get the weight and the wonder of this profession.

Today was exactly that. A soft pause. A little nourishment. A reminder that community doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful.

Heading into the rest of the season with a slightly fuller heart — and yes, finally feeling a bit more Christmassy.

Did you have a work Christmas do this year? And my self-employed friends — do you create your own version of a Christmas ‘do’? I’d love to hear your experiences.

With love,
Sian 🩷soulshine.therapist

There comes a point in life where everything looks “right” from the outside… the career, the home, the relationships, the routine, the stability —
and yet something inside feels strangely hollow.

It’s a quiet ache. An inner tug.
A sense that you’re going through the motions rather than actually living your life.

This moment can feel confusing because nothing is wrong, but nothing feels deeply right either.

You’re functioning… but flat.
Busy… but disconnected.
Grateful… but empty.
Aware… but stuck.

And if you ignore it — like many women do — you usually keep performing.

You keep being sensible.
You keep pushing through the tiredness.
You keep convincing yourself this is “just adulthood.”
You keep avoiding the stillness where truth might meet you.

Over time, your spark dims. Your intuition goes quiet. Your energy gets heavier. Your joy feels further away.

Life becomes something you manage, not something you feel.

But when you listen — softly, honestly, bravely — something shifts.

You begin to notice where you’ve abandoned yourself.
You start hearing what your body has been whispering for years.
Your real desires become clearer.
Your boundaries strengthen.
You reconnect with the parts of you that got lost while you were trying to be everything for everyone else.

And your inner world starts to feel alive again.

This is the threshold where real transformation begins — not through forcing change, not through fixing yourself, but through finally coming home to the version of you that’s been waiting underneath the coping.

This is the work I support women through.

If this moment feels a little too familiar…
if something in you is quietly asking for more…
you don’t have to walk that part alone.

You’re very welcome to step into this work with me when you’re ready.

With love,
Sian 🩷soulshine.therapist
