So many of these are familiar from years gone by.

Breaking free from the sabotage and trying something new can be both terrifying but life changing !



But how many do you currently do?

🌿Supervision is more than a tick-box it’s a space to expand your confidence, skills, and clinical intuition with the support of someone who’s walked the path.

🌿Clinical work can feel heavy having a collaborative space to process cases, doubts, and direction makes all the difference.

🌿My supervision approach balances challenge, reflection and space for you the person not just the practitioner.

🌿Supervision is where your professional identity takes shape let’s make sure it aligns with your values and strengths

🌿I’m currently welcoming new supervisees. If you’re seeking a supportive, reflective space to grow, get in touch and let’s see if we’re the right fit.

Anxiety often shows up like an umbrella it wants to protect us. The problem is, if we hold it open all the time, it can block the sunshine, keep us on guard, and stop us from feeling present.

The work isn’t about throwing the umbrella away. It’s about learning when to carry it, when to close it, and how to trust that you’ll be okay without it sometimes.

Is it time to learn to dance in the rain ?💃🏻🕺

Derealization vs. Depersonalization

🧠Derealization → the world feels unreal (dreamlike, foggy, distant).

🧠Depersonalization → you feel unreal (disconnected from your body or thoughts).

Both are forms of dissociation your brain’s way of protecting you under stress.

They can feel uncomfortable but they’re not dangerous.

When we treat depersonalization and derealization as discomfort, not a danger the amygdala stops seing them as a threat.

They are a response to stress so let’s release the stress!

What one thing can you do to today to take something out of the stress bucket ?

The beauty of the Rewind Technique?

You don’t have to retell your story. Healing without having to go through the details again.

Rewind helps you process trauma gently without needing to say what happened.

Your past doesn’t need to be re-lived to be released. The Rewind Technique allows healing in safety and privacy.

You can let go of the emotional charge of a memory without having to share the memory itself.

🍂 Autumn & Self-Care 🍂

As the days grow shorter and the nights arrive earlier, many of us notice our energy dipping and our mood shifting. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more common than you might think and it can feel like the autumn blues are weighing heavily on your shoulders.

If you’ve been feeling more tired, low, or withdrawn, you’re not alone. The change of season affects our bodies and minds in very real ways.

Most importantly, be patient with yourself. Slowing down is part of the rhythm of this season. 🍁

And if you notice your low mood lingering or becoming hard to manage, reaching out for support can make a huge difference. You don’t have to navigate this season alone

💚Reminder Before the Test

On Sunday, 7 September 2025, at 3:00 pm, the UK Government will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alerts system. During this:
• Compatible 4G and 5G phones and tablets across the UK will emit a loud siren-like sound, vibrate, and display a message stating it’s only a test—even if your device is set to silent.
• The alert will last around 10 seconds and requires no action on your part.

Phones will make a loud siren sound, vibrate, and show a test message.

If you have a hidden/safety phone, this could reveal it. You can:

Turn your phone off before 3pm OR

Switch off alerts in settings:

iPhone → Settings > Notifications > turn off Severe & Extreme Alerts

Android → Settings > Emergency Alerts > turn off Severe & Extreme Alerts

More info: gov.uk/alerts

💚 Please keep yourself safe in the way that feels right for you.
