We love to give tools that help you return to yourself. 💛

Our Loving Kindness Meditation is an evidenced based free guided practice designed to help you meet yourself with softness - especially on the days when self-compassion feels furthest away.
Inside, you’ll receive:

✨ A calming audio meditation
✨ A reflection worksheet
✨ A printable script to revisit anytime

This gentle practice supports nervous system regulation, eases self-criticism, and helps rebuild self-trust through moments of stillness and care.

It’s our way of saying: you deserve practices that meet you where you are. 🌿

If you’re looking for support that feels human - not clinical, not performative - you’re probably in the right place.

We work with people who want therapy, coaching, or education that honours both evidence and lived experience.

You don’t have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. That’s part of what we can help you figure out.

Take a moment to read through our team bios on the website - you’ll get a sense of who we are, how we work, and what might feel right for you.

Or, if you’d rather talk it through, reach out directly and we can help you find the best fit. 🌿

Ever notice how quickly conversations with your child can spiral - even when you start with the best intentions? 💛

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) invites a shift from correction to connection.

Instead of “What’s wrong with you?” it becomes “What’s happening for you?”

In our Positive Parenting ADHD course, we explore how language shapes the nervous system - helping parents move from power struggles to empathy, from shutdowns to shared understanding.

These small shifts in communication build safety, regulation, and trust - the foundations of real change at home. 🌿

This reel is just a taste of what’s inside the course - practical, compassionate tools designed for parents of neurodivergent children who want to respond with curiosity instead of control.

Healing doesn’t always make you feel “better” - sometimes, it makes you more you. 🌿

As the layers of survival start to soften, the traits you once hid to stay safe - sensitivity, intensity, creativity, divergence - begin to shine through. This isn’t regression.

It’s remembrance. It’s your nervous system finally exhaling after years of holding it all together.

Our blog ‘When Healing Makes You More Neurodivergent: Reclaiming Identity After Trauma’ explores how healing can make neurodivergent traits more visible - and why that’s something to honour, not fix.

Because the goal isn’t to become someone new, but to come home to who you’ve always been. 💛

Family dynamics can be complex - especially when stress, trauma, or neurodivergence are part of the picture. 💛

We support families to move beyond patterns of misunderstanding or reactivity into deeper connection and safety.

Our integrated approach combines counselling, psychotherapy, and parent coaching to help:

🌿 Parents who want to respond differently when emotions run high
🌿 Young people struggling to communicate what’s really going on
🌿 Families navigating ADHD, anxiety, or trauma
🌿 Carers wanting tools for regulation and repair

We focus on the nervous system and relationships - helping each person understand not only what’s happening, but why. Together, we build emotional literacy, strengthen boundaries, and create new ways of relating that support long-term wellbeing.

When families heal together, everyone grows. 🌱

We are a long long way off of AI being not just a useful tool in therapy, but SAFE one.

AI is a very bad therapist. It has zero ability to conceptualise fairly, other parts of stories and situations, it will simply gas you up and make sure everything you say, and what it says to you is in YOUR favour.

Healthy people are willing to be challenged and can be open to the fact that there is more to everything, than just their perspective.

Masculinity is almost always presented as toxic on my feed – but we need constructive alternatives to give hope to those who feel lost, says Josh Sargent

From psychoanalysis to existential therapy, there’s a bewildering variety of approaches – with one thing in common

“Practice equals progress.”

It sounds simple, but it’s honestly one of the hardest things.
Because practice means patience.

It means doing the thing when it’s uncomfortable, when you’d rather not, when change feels too far away.

In therapy, we see this all the time - people wanting to feel better before they start practising the thing that helps them feel better. But it doesn’t work that way.

The practice is the progress.

Each time you pause before reacting, take a breath, notice your body, or speak a boundary - that’s it. That’s the work.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s real. And it’s how things start to shift.

Talking helps us understand what’s happened - but it’s not the whole story.

Healing means bringing the body into the conversation, too. 💭

Here at SJP Wellbeing we often work with people whose nervous systems feel stuck in survival - sometimes from trauma, sometimes from neurodivergence, sometimes from simply living in a world that asks too much.

That’s why we blend talk therapy with body-based (somatic) approaches like brainspotting, movement, expressive and narrative work, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

These aren’t quick fixes - they’re ways to create more space in your body, your thoughts, and your choices.

When we start to understand not just what happened, but how our body has held it all, healing becomes possible.

It’s not about becoming someone new, it’s about coming home to yourself.

✨ You deserve care that meets all of you, mind, body, and story.

There’s no single roadmap for this work - not for learning, not for loving, not for healing. 🌿

Some days it’s reflection and stillness.

Other days it’s messy, emotional, beautifully human.

What matters isn’t how it looks from the outside - it’s that you keep showing up with gentleness for yourself.

Because your way is the right way, when it honours your pace, your story, and your truth.
