As fall begins and many of us return to work, studies, or routines after the summer pause, it’s natural to notice mixed feelings. 🌿

Before new beginnings, it can help to pause and reflect:

🍂 Do you feel energized stepping back into structure, or perhaps some tension or anxiety creeping in? - What might that tension be telling you?
🍂 How would you want this season to feel?
🍂 Where could you protect empty time or breaks for your nervous system to truly recharge?

Work and study can be meaningful and exciting, but they don’t have to consume all of your time and energy. Remember: your nervous system needs pauses. Breaks and empty time aren’t wasted, they’re what allow your mind and body to recover, regulate, and stay resilient. Without them, even meaningful work can start to feel overwhelming.

So as you step into this season, how could you make space for moments of rest? 🍂 How do you want balance to look for you this fall?

🧠💫 Ever wonder how early childhood experiences shape who we are as adults?

Our latest blog explores the foundational stages of growth, from forming secure attachments in infancy to developing emotional regulation and social awareness in later childhood.

Some highlights:
👶 Trust vs. mistrust (0–18 months) — how safety and consistency set the stage for future relationships
🎨 Autonomy and initiative — the roots of confidence and decision-making
🧩 Cognitive and emotional growth in middle childhood — how kids begin to understand others, self-reflect, and form identity

These milestones don’t happen in a vacuum, and they don’t look the same for everyone. This blog dives into how individual experiences, environments, and relationships shape developmental outcomes uniquely for each child.

Understanding these stages can offer insight into our adult selves; our patterns, relationships, and even our inner narratives.

Not every day will feel bright or full of energy, and that’s okay.

Some days are for growth, action, and showing up. Other days are for resting, pausing, grounding yourself quietly beneath the surface. Both are meaningful. Both are needed. 🌱🌸

Your energy might ebb and flow. Your body and mind may ask for different things on different days. This doesn’t mean you’re falling behind; it means you’re human. 🌸

Be gentle with yourself. You’re still growing, even on the quiet days.

💭 If you’re beginning to question or explore your gender identity, know this: there’s no right pace, no deadline, and no one “correct” way to figure it out.

It’s okay if things feel confusing. It’s okay if things feel exciting. It’s okay if it’s both, or neither, or something in-between.

Gentle reminders if you’re in this space of wondering:
💜 You’re allowed to take your time.
💜 Your identity is still valid, even if you’re unsure.
💜 Exploration doesn’t require certainty.
💜 It’s okay to try on different names, pronouns, or expressions to see what fits.

You don’t have to know everything right now, questioning is a form of knowing, too. You're not alone in this, and there is space for your becoming, however it unfolds.

💬 If you need support on your journey, working with a compassionate, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist can offer a grounding space to explore safely and openly.

🤷‍♀️ Struggles of a purely imaginative mind 🤷‍♀️

ADHD can show up in someone’s life in more ways than many people realize, and it’s not just about being “hyper” or “distracted.”

It can look like:
🍊 Impulsivity in decision-making
⏳ Struggles with time management
🌈 Forgetting plans or misplacing things
✳️ Irregular sleep patterns
🫐 Bursts of creative thinking
🌸 Challenges with motivation and drive

Neurodivergence means the brain works differently, not 'wrongly'. ADHD can bring challenges and strengths, like thinking outside the box, noticing patterns others miss, or thriving in high-energy environments.

This post isn’t meant to diagnose; only a qualified professional can do that. But if some of these experiences resonate with you or someone close to you, it might be worth exploring further with care and curiosity. 💬

🍊 Neurodivergent minds are valid, valuable, and deserving of understanding. ADHD can show up in someone’s life in more ways than many people realise, and it’s not just about being “hyper” or “distracted.”

🛋 Couples therapy isn't just for when things are falling apart; it’s a powerful space to connect and grow before conflict escalates.

Just like individual therapy, you don’t need a big crisis to start. Maybe:
- You’re having the same argument on repeat 🎭
- One of you needs more space, the other craves closeness 💬
- You just want to strengthen your bond and understand each other better 🧠❤️

Couples therapy can help you in example:
- Improve communication
- Navigate differences in needs or goals
- Feel more supported and connected

Whether you're facing a big life transition or simply want to feel more aligned, couples counselling might be worth exploring.

💬 If it’s something you’re considering, we’re always happy to chat more about how it works and if we could be the right match for you.

🤝 NEW BLOG OUT 🤝

Trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship, whether it's between partners, friends, family members, or even colleagues. But what happens when that foundation cracks?

Betrayal, disappointment, or repeated patterns of hurt can deeply wound our sense of safety. In therapy, we often explore not just what broke the trust, but how it's impacted your nervous system, your self-worth, and your ability to connect.

🧠 Healing trust is not about rushing to forgive or forcing reconciliation. It’s about slow, intentional steps; understanding boundaries, restoring emotional safety, and learning to rebuild from a place of clarity, not fear.

This blog dives into:

- What broken trust actually does to our brains and bodies
- How to assess whether rebuilding is healthy or harmful
- Practical steps for healing, with or without the other person involved

Whether the break happened in a romantic relationship, a friendship, or with a family member, this one’s for you. ❤️

In a world that glorifies productivity and quick fixes, it's easy to feel like we need to “get over it” as soon as possible. But real healing doesn’t work that way.

Sometimes the most profound growth comes not from pushing through, but from sitting still; acknowledging your pain, giving it space, and allowing yourself to just be.

The quiet moments between the struggle and the breakthrough are where your nervous system resets, where self-compassion takes root, and where your resilience is quietly building. 💜

💬 What have your “pauses” taught you lately?

🌈 While Pride Month is officially in June, Pride is not limited to one month. 🌈

Celebrations continue around the world, like Amsterdam Pride this August, and it's a powerful moment to reflect on what coming out might mean for you or someone you love.

If you're navigating fear, uncertainty, or pressure regarding coming out, please know:
✨ You get to choose the timing, the pace, and the people.
✨ Your safety and well-being come first.
✨ You don’t owe your story to anyone before you're ready.
✨ You are valid and your identity is real, whether you're out or not.

Coming out is always personal, not a deadline. 💛 You are already real and worthy, whether you are out or not.

You’ve maybe changed, and that’s not a bad thing. 💫

After tough seasons, it’s normal to feel softer, more cautious, or deeply reflective. That’s not a weakness, it’s growth.

Maybe you set stronger boundaries now. Maybe you're more present, more empathetic. That’s your nervous system adapting, your perspective maturing. 🌿

You’re not who you were, and that’s okay. You’re becoming more you, with wisdom, softness, and strength.
