I feel very grateful to have been part of this journey, facilitating the parents’ group sessions within the VOPS project for NPSPD💜

It was a privilege to witness parents come together, share openly, and support one another in such real and meaningful ways. Spaces like these remind me how powerful it is simply to feel heard and less alone.

A heartfelt thank you to NPSPD for the important work you do in walking alongside families of persons with disabilities — your presence and commitment truly makes a difference.

This experience has further strengthened my own commitment to supporting parents therapeutically in my private practice. If you feel you could benefit from a space like this, you are always welcome to get in touch.

Your experience matters, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Last Friday , NPSPD held its fifth psychosocial group for couples, focusing on the theme “understanding each other in conflict.” It was a valuable and reflective session where couples had the opportunity to explore how conflict can be approached with greater empathy, listening, and mutual understanding.

At NPSPD, we believe that supporting parents of persons with disability also means creating spaces where relationships can be strengthened, voices can be heard, and families can feel supported in the challenges they experience.

Yesterday, NPSPD held another psychosocial support group for couples. It was a valuable space for sharing, reflection, listening, and mutual encouragement. Relationships can carry many joys, but also unique pressures, especially within the realities families may be navigating, and it is so important to create spaces where couples feel seen, supported, and not alone.

We thank all those who attended and contributed with such honesty and openness.

Our next session will take place on 10th April.

Yesterday, during our psychosocial support group for couples, we explored the theme of love languages and the importance of finding the middle path in relationships.

Love is not only about what we feel, but also about how we express care, how we understand one another, and how we respond to each other’s needs. Sometimes, partners may naturally give and receive love in different ways, and this can lead to misunderstandings even when the love is very much present.

Through reflection and discussion, we looked at how recognising different love languages can help couples communicate with greater empathy and intention. We also spoke about the value of finding the middle path as a space of mutual understanding, balance, and compromise, where both partners feel seen, heard, and respected.

At NPSPD, we believe that supporting relationships is an important part of supporting wellbeing. We are grateful for the openness, honesty, and trust shared within the group.

Immensely proud and humbled to be co-creating this supportive space. If you are a parent raising a child with a disability, please consider reaching out to the National Parents Society of Persons with Disability .

On Friday we held our 2nd Psychosocial Group for Parents (couples) 🤍

This session created space to speak honestly about the couple's relationship — not from a place of blame, but from a place of understanding, compassion, and shared reality. We were reminded that partners don’t need to feel the same things to support each other well, and that small acts of connection can make a big difference.

If you’ve been thinking of joining but feel unsure, you are welcome. This is a supportive space, and confidentiality is respected.

📩 If you’d like details about the next group, message us privately.

Something a little different today... If you're curious about working therapeutically with neurodivergent individuals, hope to see you there!

Yesterday we closed a series of six group therapy sessions with parents of children with a disability, and I feel deeply moved by the experience.

What emerged was a space of honesty, vulnerability, and connection—where parents could be heard and held without judgement. By the final session, the group had taken on a life of its own, and I’m so glad it will continue as a peer support community.

I’m deeply grateful to the National Parents Society of Persons with Disability for trusting me to facilitate and co-create this space, and to the parents who showed up with such courage and openness.

To any parent raising a child with a disability: if you ever wish to feel less alone and part of a truly supportive community, I warmly encourage you to reach out to this wonderful group.

Yesterday, we came to the close of the NPSPD psychosocial support group for individuals.

This group slowly grew into a space of trust, mutual understanding, shared vulnerability, and support. In many ways, the group took on a life of its own. While the formal sessions are now ending, the space will continue through a monthly session led by the people who created it together.

At the same time, we are opening a new chapter in our psychosocial support work. In 2 weeks, we are starting the psychosocial support groups for couples, recognising that disability is also lived within relationships, partnerships, and shared everyday realities. These groups will offer a safe, respectful space for couples to reflect together, strengthen communication, and feel supported both as individuals and as partners.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. 🤍

I’ve always found that the days and hours leading up to New Year’s Eve naturally invite a bit of reflection. A quiet pause before the noise of what comes next.

There’s often a big focus on the idea of new beginnings,, and for some people, that feels exactly right. But it can also be a really important time to look back and acknowledge the growth you made this year — even if it doesn’t feel particularly big or impressive. Growth can be subtle: getting through something difficult, understanding yourself a little better, or showing up when it would have been easier not to.

We’re all ongoing works in progress. As we look ahead to 2026, it’s worth taking a moment to honour where we’ve already reached, as well as thinking about where we’d like to go next. Even our darkest moments hold the capacity for growth.

And if you feel you might want some support with your own self-growth in the year ahead, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
