Here Comes The Sun Counselling

With these 2 pictures I wanted to show you a physical representation of the difference a year can make 😊

I began last March feeling terrible, my weight was not only a physical burden but a mental one too.

When I look at these 2 pictures I don't really see the weight loss, I see the healing I have had to do to get here.

I picture 1 I'm smiling but it is a mask, I know the fear, the judgement, the feeling of failure, the shame and embarrassment that smile is hiding. All of my emotional baggage is physically there for everyone to see and use as a weapon to beat me down more. I was tired of not being enough.

I picture 2 I see a years worth of hard work, not the food but the understanding.

Understanding what led here, why food, just like alcohol, drugs or any other addiction became a crutch.
I learnt to work with my feelings rather than trying to numb them with food.
After years of Yo Yo dieting I realised that unless I dealt with the foundation of the problem it would always be an issue.

This isn’t about weight. It’s about emotional healing and understanding the “why” behind coping behaviours.

So I start this March having lost weight but having gained so much more than smaller clothes.
I still have a way to go, but that's OK, there is no rush, I've learnt it's pointless reaching your goal if you don't learn anything along the way!

This isn’t about size — it’s about emotional healing ❤️

Sometimes the people who look like they’re coping…
are the ones carrying the most.
You might be the reliable one.
The calm one.
The one everyone leans on.
And yet inside you feel overwhelmed, tired, stretched thin.

You don’t have to earn support by falling apart first.
Therapy can simply be a place where you don’t have to be the strong one for an hour.❤️

If that sounds like something you need, I’m here.

Counselling for Children and Young People 🌈

Sometimes children don't have the words to explain how big their feelings are.

They might show you instead.
Through behaviour, worries, anger, tummy aches, shutting down or finding school overwhelming.

Therapy offers a gentle, safe space where children and young people can explore what is going on for them, at their pace, in ways that feel right. That may be through talking, creativity or simply being heard.

I work alongside parents and carers too because when a child is supported, the whole family feels the difference.

You might consider counselling if your child is experiencing
anxiety or worries

✨anxiety or worries
✨bereavement or loss
✨low mood
✨big emotional reactions
✨challenges linked to neurodiversity

Reaching out can feel like a big step, but you don't have to figure it out alone.

Guess what.....
Sometimes my brain feels messy! 🤯
Sometimes I feel exhausted and broken😴 💔
Sometimes I just want to pull the duvet over my head and give in to the self doubt.....🛏️
I don't have all the answers
How could I?.... I'm only human.

What I have realised is that when I feel this way I need support and rest.

I haven't always found it easy to ask for help.
I have had to learn to see my own worth, to accept that I deserve support, that I am not just someone who helps everyone else.❤️

If you wrote a list of all the things you need to do, where would you be on the list?
If you are anything like me, you probably won't even be on the list!📃

Take this as your sign, it's time to put yourself first.🚦
It's time to accept the support you need.
You do not have to do it alone, you don't need to wait until you are 'in crisis'.

✨Spotlight on Specialism - Grief and Loss ✨

Grief isn't only about death. It can come from any significant loss and every experience of grief deserves care, time and understanding.

Through my work in a hospice, I've supported individuals and families with bereavement, anticipatory grief and the complex emotions that arise when someone you love is dying. I also work with children and young people offering a calm, compassionate space where feelings can be explored safely and at their own pace.

I have a particular interest in living losses, the grief that often goes unseen or unspoken. That can include loss linked to chronic illness or disability, neurodivergent burnout or late diagnosis, infertility or pregnancy loss, relationship changes or the loss of health, identity, independence or imagined futures.

These losses matter. They are real, valid and worthy of support.

Grief has no timeline and no right way to be felt. Therapy can offer a gentle space where everything you are carrying is welcome.

Spotlight on my specialism - Anxiety Therapy🌱

Anxiety is not just 'worrying too much'.
It can show up as constant overthinking. physical tension, panic, sleepless nights, people pleasing, avoidance or feeling that your nervous system never quite switches off.

I specialise in anxiety therapy, supporting people who have often lived with anxiety for years, sometimes since childhood. This can leave people feeling exhausted, burnt out or frustrated that nothing has fully helped before.

In therapy with me:
We work gently and at your pace
There is no pressure to 'push through'
We explore both the emotional and physical experiences of anxiety
We focus on understanding your anxiety, not fighting it

Anxiety is not a personal failure. It is a response, often a very understandable one.

You do not have to experience this alone.💗

Interested in working with me ? ☀ I offer a free 15 Min consultation to talk things through and see if we can work together.

Many of my clients come to therapy after a lifetime of masking, burnout, anxiety, overwhelm or feeling 'too much' or 'not enough'.

In our work together:

Sessions more at your pace
Stimming, pauses, silence and thinking times are welcome
We work with your nervous system, not against it.

I believe that therapy should adapt to you, not the other way around.

Today marks 8 years since my Mum Pearl passed away.
It was a life changing event, this loss changed my world forever.

As I searched my photo's looking for ones of us together, I was struck by how far back I had to go. The events that she was absent for, the holidays, the birthdays, the proposals and graduations.

I realised that pain, the one that people say time heals, the one that is ever present in my life, was suddenly overwhelming, as if it had just happened today.

I know through my own experience and the work I have done counselling others in grief that time doesn't heal, it just allows us the space to learn to carry the pain, we get used to it.

Grief feels very lonely, every relationship we hold is different which means we grieve for each person we lose differently. This loss can be death, family estrangement, divorce or relationship breakdown.

If you are going through a loss, regardless of how long it has been, please know, It is ok to grieve.
You are not alone.

I am dedicating this post to my wonderful Mum Pearl who I know would of been so proud of me and the help I have given to people struggling in grief.

January can feel long and colourless so I'm choosing change in small, kind ways and filling it with colour instead. 💜💙

Change doesn't have to be dramatic.
Sometimes it's deciding to do things a little differently, gently.
It's about making space for change, at your pace and adding colour where life feels grey.

Less pressure, more colour. 💗

If January has been heavy for you, your not alone.
