Online therapy is getting more popular as tech improves making it more accessible. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy and some clients have both, for example having face-to-face then switching to online if they travel for work or are unwell.

I had my first client in the middle of the COVID lockdown.

Because of social distancing, I had to conduct the session over the phone rather than face-to-face, and I remember nervously picking up the phone to call them, holding a landline in one hand and a mug of tea in the other, my heart hammering. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be – all my college practice had been face-to-face – how was I supposed to build a rapport with someone on the other end of the phone? The client, of course, didn’t know they were my first one, and I still think about them and wonder how they are doing.

This is a reflection of what I have learned about anxiety and how I have grown as a therapist since then

If you (like me) have been caught in the trap of feeling a bit "meh" and then deciding to do an hour of yoga followed by 30 minutes of journalling every day only to fail after day one then this is for you. It's about choosing the right self care habits for you that will fit in well with your routine. I wouldn't ask anyone to get up at 5 am to do a miracle morning or go for a run (unless they really want to

What does it actually mean to be “trauma-informed”?
It’s not a trend — it’s the foundation of safe, respectful therapy.
In this blog, I share what a trauma-informed approach looks like, why it matters and how to know if your therapist is working in this way

Ever stood on a Lego in the middle of the night?
👣
It hurts like mad — but it’s not dangerous. And emotions? Sometimes they’re just like that.

Just because something feels painful doesn’t mean it’s a crisis. In my latest blog, I’m talking about emotional reasoning, why our feelings can be real but not right, and how to tell the difference.

Your emotions aren’t the enemy — they just need handling with a bit of perspective (and maybe some slippers).

✨ Struggling with anxiety, mood swings, or brain fog? It might be your hormones. ✨

Perimenopause and menopause don’t just bring physical changes—they can have a huge impact on mental health too. Fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels can trigger anxiety, depression, irritability, and even feelings of losing yourself.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or unlike yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to just put up with it. Understanding what’s happening in your body is the first step to feeling better.

🌟 Anxiety Isn’t Just in Your Mind—It’s in Your Body Too 🌟

Ever felt your chest tighten, your stomach churn, or your head spin out of nowhere? I have worked with people who have been very unwell due to anxiety. Understanding what's going on in your body can make it less scary though.

In my latest blog, I break down:
✨ Common anxiety symptoms (like dizziness, nausea, and chest pain)
✨ Why these sensations happen (hello, fight-or-flight!)
✨ Strategies to reduce the impact of it
