Some of you may wonder what kind of therapy I practise.

This post explains some of it, but I can also help guide and support you by giving you tools to cope with tricky situations in life in general, so do feel free to get in touch. After all, I'm sure none of us have never experienced trickier times in our lives than we are experiencing right now!

As someone who specialises in couples counselling, I know all too well that disagreement is common when we couple up.

However, if it's not respectful and safe disagreement and conversation, it is a sign you need to reach out (or potentially get out).

Please feel free to contact me for couples counselling if you need help to create a healthy discourse and dialogue, and if you are in an unsafe situation, be sure to contact an organisation that can help you such as https://www.respect.gov.au/services/

An involuntary bodily function, breath is, of course, essential for life. 🧘‍♀️

However, we can also control our breathing to help maintain composure and calm in times of anxiety and stress. 🧘‍♀️

Try this simple breathing technique when you feel yourself approaching that edge. 🧘‍♀️

Inhale deeply as you count to 10, and then count backwards from 10 as you exhale. Do this 10 times. You will inevitably calm down and become more present in the moment. 🧘‍♀️

There is no shame in seeking health assistance in any area of your life.

After all, if you needed assistance in cutting down an old tree, you'd call an arborist. If you needed help in replacing a filling, you'd call a dentist.

In much the same way, if you are seeking mental clarity from an impartial third party, you can call on a mental health therapist!

New Year, New Boundaries? If you feel you need to set some boundaries with certain relationships, then go right ahead!

Whether it's a working relationship, a friendship, a lover or spouse, setting healthy boundaries - and respecting those of others, can only ever be beneficial.

When you begin to feel resentment towards someone in the pit of your stomach, it's often a sign that your boundaries are being encroached upon.

Likewise, if you feel someone pulling away from you, you may wish to face inwards and check you haven't inadvertently overstepped a mark with a mate.

Boundaries are healthy and necessary for all of us, particularly in this roller coaster world climate.

Decide on your boundaries and be sure to keep them in place. You can set them without upsetting others, and you can certainly respect the boundaries of others without feeling as though you've lost out on anything.

Your relationships will only benefit and become richer for it!

Can you believe it's 2022 already?

While many of us are so pleased to see the back of 2021, try to ease into the new year with self care.

I suggest avoiding New Years Resolutions, because let's face it ... how often do we break them?

Instead, let's try to create new, healthier habits?

My blog (link below) delves into this in more detail and offers some great suggestions for enjoying your holidays and entering the new year in a healthier, happier way, without feeling as though you're denying yourself.

And as always, if you feel like you need support, please do reach out. I would be so happy to help you through your journey.

Here’s the thing about boundaries … when you set healthy boundaries that preserve your mental, emotional and physical presence and happiness, you are likely to lose some people from your orbit.

And that’s ok.

Perhaps they were only there to benefit from you in the first place. Typically, if a feeling of resentment arises when you think of a person you know or are connected with, it’s likely they are overstepping boundaries or you haven’t set your boundaries firmly enough.

This is something I’m going to delve into in the next few months in my blogs, so stay tuned and remember, you can set boundaries and enjoy healthy, happy relationships in life.

If this is something you need help with, I’m here to support. Please get in touch.
