A place for gentle healing, real conversations, and rediscovering your strength.

I offer person-centred, trauma-informed support for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, boundaries, family dynamics, and the impact of past trauma.

Uncertainty can feel heavy, the knot of worry, the restless “what ifs,” the questions without answers.

It’s natural to want control, to try to solve everything right away. But some moments aren’t meant to be solved; they’re meant to be experienced.

Sitting with fear or uncertainty doesn’t mean giving in. It means noticing it, naming it, and allowing it to be part of your present moment.

You don’t have to have all the answers today. You don’t have to rush what you can’t yet see. Sometimes, simply being present with yourself is enough.

A gentle note: this post speaks to emotional uncertainty. The inner moments that ask for patience and presence. If you’re in a situation that feels unsafe, please don’t sit in it alone. Reach out for support.

We spend so much time trying to move away from what hurts by distracting, fixing, and scrolling. But sometimes, healing begins when we pause.

Discomfort can feel heavy: the tight chest, the restlessness, the lump in your throat. It doesn’t always mean something’s wrong. Often, it’s your inner self saying, I need to be noticed.

What if the goal isn’t to make it disappear, but to stay with it gently?

Breathe through it. Feel it. Let it exist without rushing to tidy it up.

You don’t have to find meaning. You don’t have to like it. You can learn to give yourself permission to be with it.

Over time, the edges soften. You realise you can survive hard feelings; they rise, crest, and fall. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is sit with the feeling.

A gentle note: this post speaks to emotional discomfort; the inner moments that ask for patience and presence. If you’re in a situation that feels unsafe, please don’t sit in it alone. Reach out for support. 🌿

World Teachers’ Day

Today, we're celebrating the teachers who give so much of themselves, often quietly, unseen, and far beyond the hours people imagine.

You carry so much more than a curriculum.
You wear countless hats: teacher, mentor, mediator, cheerleader, social coach, and sometimes even the steady adult presence
a child longs for.

You step into the mud of real life with young people, holding space for their stories, calming their storms, and helping them find their feet again.

You advocate for their needs, notice when something isn’t right, and stay long after the day has ended, planning, marking, worrying, caring.

Your work reaches far beyond the classroom walls. You shape hearts, build confidence, and nurture hope.

From Inner Circle Counselling, I want to say thank you.

For showing up.
For staying present when it’s hard.
For the compassion you pour into the next generation.

You are the everyday superheroes who don’t wear capes. The impact you have can’t always be seen, but it’s deeply felt in the lives you touch. 💛

Not every thought that crosses your mind is the truth.

Our brains can create quick, automatic thoughts, especially when we feel stressed, anxious, or uncertain. These thoughts often sound harsh or absolute, but they’re usually echoes of old fears, not present realities.

When you pause to notice them, question them gently, and replace them with kinder truths, you begin to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion.

You don’t need to silence your thoughts, just learn to listen with curiosity and care.

✨ What’s one gentle truth you can remind yourself of today?

Spring reminds us that growth starts small. A bud pressing through, a first step taken.

Starting something new, like counselling, setting boundaries, or trying a different rhythm in your day, can feel uncertain. Our nervous system prefers the safety of what it already knows, even when that safety feels heavy. That’s why beginnings often feel shaky.

But shaky doesn’t mean wrong. It means brave.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. The courage is in beginning.

Every September, I notice the same thing: more people reaching out for counselling.

It’s as if, alongside the blossoms returning, something in us also begins to stir. We feel the weight of winter lifting. We sense there could be more.

It reminds me how closely we mirror nature. Just as trees shed what’s old to make room for growth, we also feel the pull to release what’s heavy and to step into something new.

If you’ve felt that restlessness or hunger for change lately, you’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with you for wanting more. It may simply be your season to grow.

If you’ve been feeling the stir for something new, this might be the season to begin your own healing journey. I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.

Stepping out of triangulation or the drama triangle doesn’t happen overnight. These roles can feel so familiar that they become almost automatic.

Change begins with the smallest of steps, pausing before you step in, naming a boundary, or choosing to speak directly instead of through another person.

It won’t be perfect. And it doesn’t need to be. Each time you choose clarity and honesty over old patterns, you’re building a new way forward.

Small shifts, practised over time, create real change.

Sometimes we don’t notice the roles we’re playing until much later.
That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means these patterns have been in place for a long time, often since childhood. They once helped you cope.

But when you can pause and ask, “Is this mine to hold? Am I in a familiar role?” you begin to see what’s happening with fresh eyes.

Awareness is not about blame. It’s about giving yourself the gift of choice.
