Brightside Psychology

01/05/2026

Last week we had the absolute pleasure of meeting a range of business owners from across South Staffordshire to deliver a half day workshop - Psychological Skills for Business Owners: Working with the inner Critic.

Did you know that when we learn to recognise and respond differently to the inner critic in ourselves and in our team, this can lead to vast improvements in business growth, visibility, income and job satisfaction?

We’d like to say a huge thank you to South Staffordshire Council for funding and hosting this event, and to all participants for their openness and engagement.

If you were at the event, did any specific parts resonate with you?

If you’re interested in how Brightside Psychology might be able to support you and your team, you can book a no-obligation complimentary call with Dr Sophie Gwinnett via our website www.brightsidepsychology.com.

Today looked a little different at Brightside Psychology…

We welcomed Martin from to film a project with , highlighting what can be achieved when we connect and collaborate with other local services.

Alongside therapy we love getting involved in community-based projects, widening the reach of mental heath support. This kind of work reflects the values that Brightside is built upon - supporting people not just individually, but as part of the communities they live in.

We look forward to seeing the finished result!

✨FREE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP

Psychological Skills for Business Owners: Working with the Inner Critic

Do you notice your inner critic showing up at work?

Perhaps it says things like:

• “You’ve got nothing useful to say in that meeting.”
• “If you share that idea, people will think it’s ridiculous.”
• “Don’t post that! Others do this much better than you.”
• “You’re not experienced enough to go for that opportunity.”

In this free in-person workshop hosted by , Sophie and Niall from the Brightside Psychology team will introduce practical, evidence-based psychological skills to help you:

• Understand why the inner critic shows up
• Recognise how it influences your behaviour and decisions
• Respond to it in more helpful ways
• Notice and respond to the inner critic within your team

The session is practical, interactive, and focused on skills you can apply immediately in your work and leadership.

This International Women’s Day I want to say a huge thank you to the amazing women behind Brightside Psychology. To my brilliant team, , Lauren, Suzanne .health.wellbeing.psych, Vicky, and Anne. Brightside works because of the talent and care that you bring to your work every day and I couldn’t ask for a better team.

To the women in the local community who support and collaborate with us - thank you for trusting us to work alongside you.

To the incredible group of female business owners who surround me and support me, being a female business owner is a 1000% easier with you cheerleading me on.

A huge thank you to Clare Roberts-Malloy .magic.maker for inviting me to be on your panel at the brilliant IWD event in Wolverhampton on Friday alongside some very impressive female entrepreneurs.

This afternoon I went on a long walk with . Our friendship started 12 years ago in very unique circumstances, as we were both young women going through cancer treatment. In the years since we have supported each other through major shifts in our careers and into business ownership. It felt really fitting that I spent part of my day with her this IWD, because I honestly don’t know where I would be without her ideas, encouragement and absolute belief in me and in Brightside. Thank you ❤️

A little snapshot from our creative grief group this month! We just love collaborating The Codsall Hive to provide this space for people who are living alongside grief. Pottery angels were painted, hearts decorated, conversations shared and goals celebrated.

A gentle reminder that you don’t have to do grief alone. Community really matters ❤️

I love celebrating when our team do amazing things! Our Associate Clinical Psychologist, Dr Leanne Harper, recently stepped onto the TEDx stage as part of a public-speaking masterclass.

Leanne spent the day learning the craft of storytelling and sharing ideas that inspire change. She ended it by delivering a powerful 2-minute talk on the iconic red carpet. A courageous and exciting step towards a goal we’ve been crafting together.

At Brightside we absolutely love seeing our clinicians take bold and meaningful moves towards their goals. I’m a firm believer that everyone has a story worth sharing, and we’re really proud of Leanne for beginning to share hers ❤️
