The latest addition to my therapy room - a discovery made in the loft! And the parlour palm is recovering after perhaps being a little neglected last year....and has returned to the office after some tlc.

has made it into the mainstream for those trying to understand themselves in . And understandably so - John Bowlby's original work relating the child development, and contemporary research into the impact on adult relationships. I used the university of illinois attachment survey throughout my training to track the results of the changes in me. I noticed today they now have an updated website - well worth a look. It requires a sign-up but it's free to use. They hold your results so you can see how they move over time.

I loved working with Cyan Turan* on this.
If you scroll towards the end, there's an intro to my 3-card system.

Although written in the context of couples therapy, it's actually something I created to help individuals make better choices within relationships and when choosing who to stay with.

I'll post in the comments my original article in the 3-card system.

The phrase "toxic habits" gets clicks for the magazine, but really they are the ways we lie that on a certain level are protective, but in reality harm our relationships.

Having the right space makes such a difference. Don't get me wrong, I loved my office at Pavilion House and the decor on first glance matches what I created there.... But this has more light, is quieter, more private, and cosier.

2025 was the year I moved and and it has transformed my life. Investing in space was the right call. I worried being the other end of town might be a barrier but thankfully those fears were unfounded.

2026 sees me returning to study with the Couples Institute, and rumour has it I'm writing a book although we'll see!

It was a privilege to help Annalisa with her fabulous column in this weekend's Guardian. The post is available on line of you want to check it out.

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to Annalisa'fabulous column.

A phrase I often use is "it's rarely about the money". Digging a little deeper and you might find other feelings you hadn't anticipated....

You’re reluctant to discuss this with your parents – but doing so might help you shake off the feeling of injustice

As I'm getting used to my new space I've been able to work out how best to arrange the furniture. I had a spare hour so moved everything around. It feels much better - the art work has space and the sofa faces the forest so clients get the maximum benefit.

And check out the new desk! 😍

Welcome to the new space!

The art work hasn't quite made it onto the walls yet, but otherwise getting settled in...
