I recently wrote an article on my blog talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder now that summer is coming to an end - this will hopefully help some people understand why they struggle so much with the colder seasons and a few tips on how to manage this situation:

✨ These flyers contain my practice in a nutshell ✨

As many of you know, I’ve been building my counselling practice, and I’m really excited to be opening more space for new clients.

The flyer gives a clear picture of what I do, who I help, and how to get in touch. If you feel called to, I’d be so grateful if you could share this post or pass it along to someone who might benefit.

Sometimes the smallest share can connect the right person with the support they’ve been looking for.

Thank you all for your support - it means a lot! 💙

If you’ve ever felt like you’re healing… then not healing… then maybe going backwards; you’re not alone.

Healing is not a straight line.
It’s messy. It loops. It brings up old stuff just when you think you’ve sorted it.

But here’s the truth: every time you pause and reflect, every time you show up with honesty; you are healing.

Progress doesn’t always look like confidence or peace.
Sometimes, it looks like just noticing your patterns… or choosing a slightly kinder response.

Remember you will never be in square one, because what you have learnt, cannot be "unlearnt".

Therapy can help you make sense of it all - so that healing feels less lonely, and more supported.

If you’re ready for that kind of space, I have room for new clients. Feel free to reach out.

Anxiety isn’t always just “worrying too much.”

For me, it looked like:
👉 Feeling like the world wasn’t real (derealisation)
👉 Panic attacks that felt life-threatening
👉 Dizziness so intense I stopped seeing friends or going into the office for work
👉 Endless GP tests — all fine, but I was convinced something was wrong
👉 Sitting in the bath at 3am, desperate to calm down

If you recognise yourself in this, you’re not alone. Anxiety can show up in ways we don’t always expect; but it can get better.

💌 I work with people who feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in these symptoms.

Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening underneath and help you feel safe in your body and mind again.

📲 I’m taking on new online clients now (sessions available in English & Spanish). If this resonates, send me a message - I’d love to support you.

Many people think inner child work is abstract or strange; but really, it’s about compassion.

It’s about noticing when an old wound is still shaping how you respond to life today.

It’s about remembering the version of you that needed more love, safety, encouragement; and giving it to them now.

🧠 I guide people through gentle, trauma-informed inner child work in therapy. If this speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.

Do you feel like your brain won’t stop spinning after a simple interaction?

Overthinking in relationships often isn’t about drama; it’s about fear.

Fear of abandonment. Fear of being “too much.” Fear of being left without warning.

You're not broken; you’re protecting yourself the best way you learned.

🧠 I support clients with anxious thoughts, relationship patterns, and low self-esteem.

...
How many times have you panicked thinking that there was something genuinely wrong with you after dealing with all those REAL symptoms?

It is anxiety. Nothing is wrong with you. But let me tell you something: anxiety can be debilitating.
It can make you weak, scared or even 'paranoid', and that's because all those symptoms that you are experiencing are REAL. That's your body reacting, your body trying to talk to you using the only way it knows, which is through physical and mental discomfort.

What are the steps that you are going to take next to attend your body and hear what it has to say to you?
