This week I cleaned every wardrobe, drawer and laundry cupboard — and with the support of a wonderful professional organiser, it became a quiet ritual of release.

Working side by side, her calm, grounded presence felt like a cue of safety.
No rush, no judgment, just steady attunement — the kind hat lets the nervous system breathe again. 🤍
Polyvagal Theory reminds us: we can only let the old leave when the body feels safe enough to welcome the new.

As we opened each cupboard, I could feel the same thing happening inside me.
The sorting, the folding, the clearing… it became a mindfulness practice.
A moment-to-moment awareness of what had served its purpose and what was ready to move on.
Letting go not with force, but with kindness.

By the end, the house felt lighter — and so did I.
There was space, softness, and a quiet sense of renewal.
A reminder that clearing our external world can open portals in our internal world too.

What part of you is inviting release — gently, safely — and what new energy might be waiting to enter once space is made?🌹🦋🫶

I’ve been reflecting on how much our culture shapes the way we show up — in our relationships, in our practice, and in supervision.

In Psychodrama, Moreno speaks about the cultural conserve: all the roles, beliefs and emotional habits we inherit from our families, communities and cultural background. These become part of our inner “structure,” guiding how we love, how we protect ourselves, how we cope, how we ask for help — or don’t.

I see this so often in my work.
Some of these structures hold us gently.
Others keep us repeating patterns that once protected us, but now quietly limit our growth.

This is where spontaneity becomes transformative.
And I love how Moreno puts it:
we become more spontaneous when we can offer a different answer to an old question.

A new response to an old emotional situation.
A new way of relating where we once shut down.
A new way of expressing a need we were taught to silence.
A new way of showing up where we once disappeared.

That is spontaneity — not impulsiveness, but freshness, creativity and presence, even in familiar or emotionally loaded moments.

In multicultural counselling and supervision, this balance between structure and spontaneity is essential.
It allows us to honour where someone comes from while supporting who they are becoming.

Which inherited structures still support you — and where might life be inviting you to offer a new, more spontaneous answer to an old question? 🦋🌹

Yesterday, Perth celebrated its multicultural heart — music, dance, flavours, traditions, and so much joy shared in one beautiful space.
Being there reminded me why I am so passionate about multiculturalism in supervision and therapeutic work.

For me, supervision is never just about techniques.
It is about listening to stories that travel across continents, honouring different languages, customs, spiritualities, and the unique ways people make sense of their world.

We are fortunate to live in a country where cultures weave together.
Each person carries a universe within them.
Each encounter becomes a bridge.
And every supervision session is an invitation to create spaces that are safer, more sensitive, and deeply human.

May we continue to celebrate who we are, where we come from, and what we build together.

With respect, curiosity, and an open heart.🫶🦋🌹

Empathy invites forgiveness, kindness, and connection — it softens our hearts and brings us closer, even to strangers. 🦋

Gratitude is the soil where empathy grows.
When we pause to feel thankful, our ventral vagus awakens — the part of us that says: “You’re safe, you can connect.” 🦋

From this space of safety, love flows naturally, and relationships deepen with warmth and presence.

Empathy opens the heart.
Gratitude fills it with light. 🦋

✨ What helps you return to that place of calm and connection when life feels too much? ✨

🦋 “Self-care is not selfish — it’s sacred.” 🦋

This weekend reminded me how deeply we need moments to pause and breathe.
To slow down enough to listen to our bodies, to feel our hearts, and to return to our own rhythm.

As counsellors and helpers, we hold so much for others — but we also need spaces that hold us.
Self-care isn’t just about rest; it’s about emotional regulation — noticing when our system feels tired or overwhelmed, and gently guiding ourselves back to calm and presence. 🌿

When we tend to our own nervous system, we show up with more softness, patience, and love — for our clients, and for ourselves. 🌹

🦋How do you know when your system is asking for rest — and what helps you return to balance?

🦋 “Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.” — Erich Fromm 🦋

Healthy relationships are not about losing ourselves in another, but about meeting each other from a place of wholeness.
When we learn to be at peace in our own company, love becomes a choice — not a need.
From that space, connection deepens, boundaries feel safe, and love becomes freedom.

The Therapist as a Modern Witch

The therapist is a soul alchemist — heir to the ancient healers who listened not only with their ears, but with their whole being.
Like in Jung’s alchemy, the therapy room becomes the athanor — the sacred vessel where pain is the lead and presence is the fire that transforms it into gold.

We don’t cast spells; we hold space.
We don’t summon spirits; we invite what was once exiled in the psyche to return home.
The true magic lies not in changing others, but in witnessing their becoming — in honouring the mystery that moves through every human story.

To be a therapist is to walk between worlds:
the seen and the unseen, the rational and the sacred — translating the language of the unconscious into human words.

Perhaps healing is less about fixing and more about remembering — remembering the wholeness that was never truly lost...

🦋 Grounding Before Session 🦋

Before holding space for others, take a moment to arrive for yourself.
Even 2–3 minutes of grounding can shift your energy and presence.

✨ Try this:

Feel your feet on the ground — steady, supported.

Take a slow breath in, and a longer breath out.

Gently notice your body — where tension lives, where calm rests.

Whisper to yourself: “I’m here, I’m present, I’m enough.”

Grounding before a session isn’t just a ritual — it’s a form of self-regulation and care.
When we are centred, we invite our clients into safety, curiosity, and connection.

🕊️ What’s your favourite way to ground before seeing a client?

🦋 Transference, Countertransference & the Dance of Projection

So much of what happens in therapy or supervision
isn’t about the words —
it’s about the felt sense between us.

🦋 Transference is when a client brings old relational patterns into the present moment.

🦋 Countertransference is what gets stirred in us —
our own story, history, or tenderness being touched.

Sometimes our reactions hold reactive projections —
moments when something inside feels too uncomfortable,
and we see it reflected in the other.

“I felt my client was judging me,”
might also mean,
“a part of me was judging myself.”

When we can pause and stay curious,
these moments become rich with meaning.

Because transference reveals the client’s story,
countertransference shows how that story lives in us,
and reflective awareness transforms both into understanding and growth. 🦋

🦋 What helps you stay curious when strong feelings arise in the room?
