30 was a big year for me.
I qualified as a therapist, wrote a book and was in my first healthy relationship in nearly a decade.
It taught me a lot - mostly that there’s always so many things to learn.
Which one of these resonated the most with you? ✨

Thank you to TechRound for featuring my article on the importance of human connection in therapy!

Artificial intelligence can do many things - but human empathy is one thing it has yet to replicate successfully.

The summer holidays invariably bring big moments to be grateful for: holidays, going out, catching up with friends.

But I’ve also taken time be grateful for the quieter things: time to rest, listening to music, quality time with my mum.

And driving past endless fields of sunflowers! 🌻

Remember, when you open your eyes to all the good things around you, you prime your brain for even more good things ✨

❓ Who am I now?

This client came to me with a lost sense of self after having a major career change.

Moments of change — moving abroad, losing a job, becoming a parent, ending a relationship — can shake our sense of identity.

Suddenly, the labels we once held no longer fit.
So… who are we without them?

🧠 Therapy offers a safe space to explore this question.
To reconnect with your values.
To challenge old beliefs.
To step into your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

✨ You’re allowed to evolve.

Any of this sound familiar? Book a free call now.

“But my childhood was great!”

PSA: Going to therapy doesn’t mean you had a “bad” childhood — and it definitely doesn’t mean you’ll end up hating your parents…

Therapy isn’t about assigning blame — it’s about understanding your story with compassion, not criticism.

You can love your parents and explore how your early experiences shaped you. It’s not either/or.

Let’s bust the myth: You don’t need trauma to benefit from therapy. You just need curiosity, self-compassion and the desire to grow.

When you’re ready to start, I’ll be waiting. 🤍

Gratitude diaries ✨

I’ve expressed before how useful gratitude is as a practice - as much for myself as for clients.

The more we look for and recognise the good things around us, the more awake we are to other good things.

We are literally rewiring our brain to look for things to be grateful for - and how amazing is that?
