I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible humans I have the privilege of working with.

The strength it takes to show up, be vulnerable, and face the tough stuff head-on—it’s not easy. But you do it. You keep showing up, even when it’s hard, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Watching your growth, your self-awareness, and the way you’re learning to care for yourself—it’s deeply inspiring.

I see your courage. I see your heart. And I’m so proud of you and the work we’re doing.

This journey isn’t easy, but you’re not alone. And you’re doing something truly powerful.

Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you. 💜

Therapy isn’t about fixing emotions—it’s about making space for all of them.Joy and grief. Anger and love. Anxiety and hope. They all belong.When we stop labeling feelings as “good” or “bad,” we start understanding what they’re trying to tell us.In therapy, we don’t push emotions away—we get curious about them.You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are. 💜

🌱 Nurture Your Self-Esteem 💜

Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything. 💜
Here are 3 gentle reminders to help you cultivate self-love and confidence:

1️⃣ Celebrate Small Wins
Every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. Acknowledge your efforts—they matter!

2️⃣ Speak to Yourself Kindly
Your inner dialogue shapes your world. Replace self-criticism with compassion. You deserve it. You are probably very good at offering this to others, what would it be like to offer it to yourself?

3️⃣ Set Boundaries
Protect your peace by saying “no” to what doesn’t serve you. Be curious with this one, are you a ‘yes’ person? Why? Who does it serve? What if you said “yes” to your well-being instead?

💡 Remember: Self-esteem is not a destination; it’s a practice. Water it daily and watch yourself bloom. 🌸

What’s one way you’ve been kind to yourself lately?

Sundays feel precious after a busy week, a time to slow down, relax & recharge before going again. I’m going to try to do at least 4 on the list today to set myself up for my week ahead, how about you? 💜

Change isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. Just as the seasons transform the earth, growth transforms us—one cycle at a time. 💜

Like trees shedding their leaves in Autumn, sometimes we have to let go of what no longer serves us.
In the stillness of Winter, we can snuggle under a cosy blanket to rest and reflect. With Spring comes a burst of new energy to strive for new goals and as Summer blooms, we thrive and embrace all the hard work.

Trust the process, embrace the shifts, and let yourself bloom in your own time. 🌿 💜

💜Feeling Overwhelmed by the Week Ahead? Let’s Take It Step by Step 💜

If you’re looking at the week and feeling like there’s just too much to manage, know you’re not alone. We all have weeks that feel heavier than others.

Here are a few gentle ways to move through the days when the weight feels a bit too much:

1 Start with Small Wins – Tackle one simple task first, something that can give you a quick sense of accomplishment and build momentum. Sometimes, just starting can make all the difference.

2 Break It Down – Big tasks can feel overwhelming. Break them into smaller, doable steps. Write them out, prioritize, and focus on what’s most essential for each day.

3 Set Boundaries – Protect your time and energy where you can. Don’t be afraid to say “no” or reschedule commitments so not to overload yourself.

4 Practice Self-Compassion – A tough week doesn’t need to be perfect. Take breaks, check in with yourself, and remind yourself that doing your best is enough.

5 Lean on Support – It’s okay to ask for help. Sometimes a chat with a friend or family member can make things feel a little lighter.

Remember, you don’t have to conquer the entire week today. Just take it one day at a time, one task at a time. You’ve got this. 💜

As things start getting busier and ramping up for Christmas it feels important to take care of ourselves. How are you looking after yourself? What will you do this weekend to fill your cup? Even the small things make a difference 💜

🕰️ Protecting Your Mental Health with the Clocks Changing 🌙
I often see how the shift to shorter days and darker evenings can impact mood and mental well-being. It’s important to be mindful of how these changes affect you and to take proactive steps to support your mental health. Here are a few strategies that can help:
1️⃣ Prioritize Morning Sunlight ☀️ Exposure to natural light early in the day can regulate your circadian rhythm, boosting both energy and mood. Even 10-15 minutes outside can make a difference.
2️⃣ Maintain a Consistent Routine 🛌 Try to stick to your usual sleep and wake times, even with the time change. Consistency is key in helping your body adjust and reducing feelings of fatigue or sluggishness.
3️⃣ Incorporate Regular Movement 💪 Physical activity is a powerful tool for mental health. It stimulates the production of serotonin and endorphins, which can counteract the lower mood this time of year.
4️⃣ Nurture Social Connections 💬 The shift to earlier evenings can bring on feelings of isolation. Make a conscious effort to connect with others, whether through a call, video chat, or in-person.
5️⃣ Practice Mindfulness 🧘‍♀️ Consider integrating mindfulness or relaxation techniques into your daily routine to manage stress and remain present.
💡 Therapeutic Tip: For those who experience more significant changes in mood, especially with less daylight, light therapy lamps can be an effective intervention.
Remember, the transition into shorter days affects many of us, but with the right strategies, you can maintain balance and well-being. 💜

What a lovely way to end another busy week! I feel very privileged to do this job and love it as much as I do! My clients are truly amazing, I admire the courage and strength they show in their daily lives and the vulnerability they bring to our relationship. There is nothing more rewarding than being allowed to be alongside someone, watching them grow and seeing all the hard work pay off! 💜

I’m trying really hard at the moment to be mindful of how I am supporting and looking after myself. I’m focussing on moving more, fuelling myself with good food at the right time and doing at least one fun/ treat thing a day for myself whether that be treating myself to a coffee, seeing a friend or just doing nothing at all for half an hour! 😆 September always feels busy, everything starts ramping back up again, kids are back to school, we’re juggling work with day to day responsibilities and those lovely long chilled summer days start to feel like distant memories. What choices will you make today to support yourself? 💜

Good morning, happy Sunday & happy first day of the month. How was your Summer? I have to admit mine was a very over indulgent one with lots of food, drinks and treats and as much as I’ve enjoyed it, I’m feeling ready to get back on track with my physical and mental health so I thought I’d share a little snippet of what I’m doing to look after myself in preparation for a very busy September. What do you plan to do this month to look after yourself and re energise? 💜
