I hope you have a restorative Christmas after an intense year, and that 2026 brings everything you hope for. I'm taking a well-deserved break for 3 weeks and will see you on the 12th January.

I'm now on leave for a few weeks, having a well deserved break, and won't be checking the phone or emails.

Take good care of yourself and reach out to your supports when you need to. Remember that the Butterfly Foundation is there if you need them on 1800 ED HOPE.

Is it OK to comfort eat? I don't think it's a yes or no answer, I think it depends. What do you think?

It's important to me that you feel as comfy as possible while you're waiting to see me, and while we're in my office.

I have lots of sensory sensitivities which can give me migraine, so I understand how these things can have a real impact.

If there's anything else I can do, let me know.

Hollie finished with us last week, and is now having a well deserved rest before her baby arrives. Many of you have asked me what is happening with reception, and the answer is that I'll be doing the admin myself.

Tarika, Hollie and I have worked hard over the past four years to automate and streamline the admin procedures, so it's now very easy for me to manage.

You can still contact me by phone or email, and if you need to contact me about changing a same day appointment then I'd suggest texting me, as I check the phone more often than the email. The only difference will be on Wednesday, which is my day off, so text and email messages won't be seen until Thursday.

Do you have a food pusher in your family - someone who tries to force food on you, or make you eat out of guilt?

It's International Women's Day tomorrow - I'm doing this today while I have some free time.

The theme this year is about advancing women and inclusivity, and I think one of the ways we can advance is by seeing ourself as more than our appearance, knowing we have more to contribute are capable of so much more than being thin, pretty or perfect.
