Emotional safety is the foundation of every healthy relationship, whether it’s with friends, family, colleagues, or partners. 👫

It’s the quiet assurance that your thoughts and feelings can exist without fear of judgment, sarcasm, or dismissal. 🙌

It’s the freedom to speak, to pause, to make mistakes, and still feel seen and respected. It’s not about avoiding conflict, it’s about knowing that conflict won’t threaten your connection or make you feel unsafe.

When emotional safety is present, communication flows more honestly, trust deepens, and relationships become spaces where people can truly be themselves. 💙

Repair after conflict is one of those skills we’re never really taught, yet it quietly decides the health of every relationship we’re in — friendships, family, work, partners, all of it.

It’s that moment when we choose understanding over ego, curiosity over assumptions, breathing over reacting. It’s when we realise communication isn’t about winning, it’s about staying connected, even when things felt tense or messy. 🙌

Healthy relationships aren’t built on never fighting. They’re built on learning how to come back together, with accountability, honesty, and a bit more softness than before.

And once you experience real repair, you start to understand what genuine connection actually feels like. 💙🫂

04/12/2025

Sometimes we write two versions of the same message, the one typed in frustration, and the one typed after we’ve taken a breath. 🙌

Both are honest and both come from real feelings. But only one moves us toward understanding instead of distance.

Healthy communication isn’t about being calm all the time, it’s about noticing what’s happening inside us, choosing clarity over defensiveness, and speaking in a way that actually protects the relationship, not just our pride. 💙

We don’t always get it right. We’re not meant to. But every time we pause and rewrite the sentence… we create space for something softer place to land. 🤗

Holiday Closure Notice – Haven Therapy Co 💙
We’ll be taking a short break over Christmas, closing from 19th of December and returning on 5th of January.

We’re sharing this early so you have time to plan your sessions, check in, or reach out before the year winds down. 🤗

As always, thank you for letting us walk alongside you. 🙏

In this video, you’ll see me looking calm and collected, but that’s only half of the story.

For many people with ADHD, what’s happening on the inside is completely different: thoughts firing at once, mental noise that never quite settles, and a constant effort to stay present. ADHD isn’t always the loud or obvious version that people imagine. Often, it’s hidden behind a steady expression and a quiet demeanor. 🧠💬

I share this to help others understand that you can’t always “see” someone’s experience from the outside. Many people are carrying busy, overwhelming inner worlds while doing their best to show up every day. When we remember this, we naturally lead with more understanding, more kindness, and more patience.

If this resonates with you or someone you love, I hope it opens a little more space for compassion, for yourself and for others. 💙

26/11/2025

Supporting someone with ADHD isn’t about correcting them, it’s about understanding how their brain works and meeting them with compassion. 🙌💙

For many people with ADHD, everyday tasks can feel heavier, time can slip away without meaning to, and emotions can show up intensely. Your patience, clarity, and gentle reminders aren’t small things, they genuinely make life easier. 🫶

If you love someone with ADHD, know this: Your support doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be kind, steady, and non-judgmental. Small moments of understanding can go a long way.

Be clear, gentle and consistent.
And always remember, they’re trying harder than you can see. ✨

24/11/2025

Many people don’t realise that ADHD isn’t just about focus, it’s about feeling, too. 💓

For many, emotions hit fast, deep, and unexpectedly. And when you don’t have the internal brakes to slow them down, even small moments can feel overwhelming. 🤯

In this carousel, we break down what emotional sensitivity in ADHD really looks like, why it happens in the brain, and how you can support yourself with more compassion instead of self-blame. 🙌

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel “too much,” “too quickly,” or “too long,” please know:
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not overreacting.
Your nervous system is working harder than people realise.

Swipe through to learn more, and take what feels true for you. You’re human, doing your best, and you deserve understanding. 🤗🫂

This experience is often linked to executive dysfunction, a common part of ADHD that affects the brain’s ability to start, organise, and follow through on tasks. 🧠💡

It’s not about motivation or willpower. It’s about how the brain regulates attention, planning, and action.

📍Executive dysfunction can show up as:
•Difficulty starting tasks (even important ones)
•Losing track of steps or getting stuck halfway
•Struggling to prioritise what to do first
•Jumping between tasks without finishing
•Time feeling “all or nothing”
•Feeling mentally overloaded by simple decisions

These challenges can make everyday life feel harder, and that can be frustrating or misunderstood.

But here’s the important part: This is a neurological difference, not a personal failure. Understanding how ADHD affects the brain can open the door to strategies, supports, and self-compassion that actually help. 🙌💙

If this sounds like your experience, you’re not alone , and nothing about this makes you “less capable.” It simply means your brain works differently, and that’s something we can support. 🤗

Grief has a way of breaking us open in places we never expected. 🫂💙

Like a bowl that no longer looks the way it once did, we’re left holding pieces we didn’t choose, trying to understand a world that has changed. ❤️‍🩹

There’s no timeline for this. No “right way” to move through it. Just slow moments of learning how to live with what remains, and honouring what mattered. 🫶

If you’re grieving, please know this:
You’re not broken. You’re human.
And the pieces you’re carrying make sense for where you are right now. 🍃

17/11/2025

Many people think they’re “not healing properly,” not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because they’ve been taught unrealistic ideas about what moving on should look like. ❤️‍🩹

The truth is, moving on isn’t a switch you flip, it’s a gradual process. You don’t wake up suddenly unaffected; healing usually happens in small, quiet shifts over time. Feeling something again doesn’t mean you’re back at zero. It simply means a part of you is still processing, and that’s normal. 🤗🙌

There’s no universal timeline for healing either. Some people move through things quickly, others take longer, and neither pace is wrong, it reflects your lived experience. You also don’t need to forget what happened in order to move forward.

Moving on often means understanding your story differently, not erasing it. Healing isn’t about being untouched by the past. It’s about learning, growing, and slowly creating a life that feels safer and lighter. 🍂

It’s hard to believe we’re already moving toward Christmas, the year has moved so quickly. 🤗 This season often brings a mix of reflection, emotions, and a clearer sense of what we’ve been carrying, and what we might want support with in the new year. 🙌💙

Our 2025 appointments are filling up quickly, and we’d love to make space for you if therapy is something you’ve been considering. We’re here to walk alongside you in a way that feels gentle, real, and supportive.

If you’re ready to take that step, or even just thinking about it, now is a good time to book in. We’re here when you are. 🤗🗓️

Grief isn’t a straight path, it’s more like a heartbeat, with highs and lows that come and go. Sometimes, your heart lifts with a gentle sense of acceptance, a fond memory, or finding meaning in small moments. Other times, it dips into deep sadness, disbelief, or exhaustion.🫀❤️‍🔥

These fluctuations are completely normal and reflect the complex process of healing. Grief is not about “getting over it” or moving on in a straight line; it’s about learning to live with the waves, allowing yourself to feel both joy and sorrow without judgment.

As a therapist, I see that these ups and downs are part of the human experience, each one telling us something about where we’re at in our journey. 🙌

Be gentle with yourself during both the peaks and the dips. It’s okay to have moments of numbness, tears, or even frustration. Healing takes time, patience, and compassion. 💙🫂

Remember, you’re not alone in this, your feelings are valid, and with each wave, you’re moving toward a new understanding of yourself and your loved one.
