Fake it till you make it 🤷‍♂️

Facing your own s**t is a mix of depth and absurdity.

It’s not one big breakthrough. It’s small, humbling recognitions that your past didn’t disappear, it shaped how you engage with the world.

At some point, you stop pointing backwards and turn inward. Not with blame, but curiosity.

Yes, things have happened to you. Yes, you developed ways of being that made sense then, but they might get in your way now.

Owning your patterns without tearing yourself apart. Taking responsibility without losing compassion. Saying, “this is mine to work on,” not “this is all my fault.”

And then there’s the mind, oh the mind, always spinning stories. But you’re not just a thinking mind. You’re a sensing, feeling body too.

Chest tightens before the mind explains. Stomach drops before the thought forms.

Listening to both together is integration. Sometimes the mind is loud and the body is wise. Sometimes the body is reactive but the mind brings perspective. Sometimes both are confused, and you just sit there like, “…shut the f-up!”

Then comes the relational dance. What’s mine? What’s theirs? What lives between us? Not everything you feel is yours. Not everything they do is theirs.

And yes, it’s in that shared space, that intersubjective middle, things get blurry. So you learn to pause. To observe before reacting. Choose when to act, when to let go.

And just when you think you’re “figuring it out,” you realise how much you don’t know. Certainty loosens. Curiosity steps in. You stop trying to master life and start participating in it.

You realise you are only human. They’re human too. No one’s perfect. Just people, shaped by different stories, bumping into each other, triggering or healing one another.

Facing your own s**t isn’t about striving for perfection. It’s about becoming real.

A little more curious.
A little more integrated.
A little more compassionate.

And, if you’re lucky, you’re able to laugh at yourself somewhere in the middle of it all. Maybe even find someone to laugh with.

And with all that being said… Life’s short and the odds of being here are unfathomable. Honour your freedom, privilege and health and go play. But be kind…don’t be a c*nt.

Got it? 🥴

MW 2025 done. 😮‍💨

Yesterday I graduated with a Master’s in Psychotherapy and Counselling at A moment that marks not just the end of this chapter, but the culmination of five years of study and three years of client work.

It’s also a quiet celebration of the steps along the way that I didn’t pause to mark. A Master’s in Psychology, and diploma in counselling, and all the moments in between that shaped this journey.

This path truly began after losing Sam. That grief cracked something open in me, and the need to understand the human experience. Something that became impossible to ignore.

Through study, practice, and the privilege of working with others in their most human moments, I’ve come to see how deeply we need connection. Not just to others, but to ourselves.

I’m so excited to soon share more about what’s next! I have been silently working on opening a centre that brings together everything I’ve learned about the body, mind, and community. I truly believe it all matters and that our wellbeing depends on treating it as a whole.

For now, I’m just taking a quiet breath of gratitude. For the people who held me up along the way, for the teachers (in and out of the classroom), and for the clients who trusted me with their stories.

Here’s to what comes next. Thank you 🙏🏼

Cracking weekend celebrating .alan stag with an amazing group of boys. Half of those who flew in from Norway. Feeling very fortunate to have forged a strong bond with such open minded, fun, feral gents. Really highlighting the importance of connection and friendship. Looking forward to the Oslo wedding!

Some interesting facts and observations about yoga…

1. Yoga pants have motivated more people to try yoga than actual yoga philosophy.

2. Farting during yoga is basically a rite of passage.
If you haven’t accidentally let one slip in downward dog, are you even trying?

3. Yoga is one of the few workouts where lying on the floor counts as progress.

4. There’s a yoga pose literally called “Happy Baby.”
Because nothing screams inner peace like lying on your back, grabbing your feet, and pretending you’re two years old.

5. You don’t have to be flexible to start yoga. Just trust the process, even if the process looks like you wrestling with an invisible python.

I teach Yoga on Monday at 6pm at
Come on! Join us ;)

Yesterday I attended the We Demand Change Summit in London, a gathering that brought together a diverse coalition of crisis groups united by a common purpose: to address the many pressing issues facing our society today. The importance of this summit cannot be overstated, as it highlighted the interconnectedness of various struggles, including the ongoing genocide in Palestine, the billions spent on arms, the further impacts of austerity measures, the urgent need to tackle climate change, and the pervasive issues of racism and discrimination. Furthermore, the failure of the current Labour Party to adequately represent the needs of its constituents was a recurring theme throughout the day. As was the threat posed by the rise of far right and neo-nationalist parties.

As discussions about the economy and its failures were navigated, it became clear that we are at a pivotal moment in history. The continuing rise of individualism and consumerism further erodes our sense of community, leaving many feeling isolated and unheard. This summit served as a reminder that it is important to come together to forge a collective response to these challenges, rather than allowing ourselves to be divided by them.

As a psychotherapist, I believe attending events like this one is crucial to help understand and address the social and systemic issues that deeply impact the mental health and well-being of so many individuals. Individuals I will work with.

For me, attending the Summit was not just about advocating for these vital issues; it was about standing on the correct side of history. History has shown us the consequences of inaction and complacency. We need only to look back to 1936 and the rise of fascism, or the growth of Thatcherism in the 1980’s.

Today, we find ourselves once again at a crossroads. The lessons of the past remind us that the fight against injustice spanning across the board is ongoing, and it requires our unwavering commitment ✊🏼

Also, a happy birthday to my pal who I attended the event with 🙌🏼 you are a legend.
