Life transitions can feel like walking through thick fog, uncertain and disorienting. You might wonder if you'll ever find solid ground again.

These moments aren't just endings often they can be beginnings. They hold space for growth, healing, and rediscovery.

It's okay to feel off balance. You don't have to have all the answers right now.

Here's a gentle way to find your footing:

• Acknowledge what you're feeling without judgement.
• Notice where emotions show up in your body.
• Ask yourself what these feelings might be teaching you.
• Take one small step, even if it feels tiny.

You are not alone in this in-between. Compassion for yourself is the first step toward clarity and resilience.

If you need a safe space to explore these changes, we're here to walk alongside you.

True strength often hides in quiet vulnerability.

Opening up isn't a sign of weakness. It's a courageous step towards reclaiming your voice and power. When we allow ourselves to be seen and heard, even in our most fragile moments, we create space for healing and authentic growth.

It's okay to take small steps. Share your story when you're ready, knowing that here, you are held with honour, respect, and compassion.

What might you find if you gave yourself permission to be truly seen?

Therapy is often misunderstood as a sign of weakness. But it's truly a path of honour, a brave step towards recognising your own worth and healing past wounds.

Choosing to talk, to explore your feelings, and to face what's hard takes courage. It's an act of self-respect, not a flaw.

At Place to Talk Therapies, we believe in honouring each person's story with compassion and patience. Therapy is a space where your resilience grows quietly, where healing happens step by step, and where your true strength shines through.

If you're considering therapy, know this: you are not alone, and seeking help is a powerful way to honour yourself.

The link between shame and anxiety

27/11/2025

For some people, anger can rise to protect the parts of us that feel exposed or not enough. When we understand the shame underneath, the reaction starts to make more sense. If this feels familiar, you are welcome to send me a message or reach out through my website.

Healing is not about giant leaps. It’s about gentle, steady steps towards resilience and self-honour.

Each small act of kindness to yourself builds a foundation of strength. It might be pausing to breathe when overwhelmed, setting a boundary that protects your peace, or simply noticing your worth in moments of doubt.

This path honours where you are right now, not where you think you should be. It’s okay to move slowly. It’s okay to take time. Because every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your story with compassion and courage.

Managing anxiety and stress starts with kindness towards yourself.

When feelings overwhelm, try these gentle strategies:

1. Pause and breathe slowly, counting to four as you inhale and exhale. This calms your nervous system and brings you back to the present.
2. Create small daily routines that offer comfort and predictability; whether it’s a morning stretch or a brief walk outside.
3. Honour your need for rest by setting a soothing bedtime ritual that helps quiet your mind.

Remember, it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Compassion for yourself creates space for healing and resilience.

If anxiety feels too heavy, reaching out for therapeutic support can be a powerful act of self-care. You don’t have to carry this alone.

What small act of kindness towards yourself feels possible today?

Small steps can lead to big changes, especially when it comes to building emotional resilience.

When life feels overwhelming, the idea of changing your emotional wellbeing might seem daunting. But resilience isn’t built overnight. It grows gently, through simple, manageable habits that nurture your strength and calm.

Here are a few gentle habits to consider:

1. Pause and breathe deeply for a few moments each day.
2. Write down one thing you’re grateful for or one small win.
3. Reach out to someone you trust, even if it’s just to say hello.
4. Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

These small actions help you create a steady foundation. Over time, they build your capacity to cope with setbacks and stress.

One client shared how starting with just a five-minute breathing practice helped them feel less overwhelmed during work stress. It was a simple step, but it made a world of difference.

What gentle habit might you try today to nurture your emotional resilience?

Remember, healing and growth happen at your pace. You don’t have to do it all at once.

Take a few gentle moments to slow down and breathe. I have created a free guided safe space visualisation to help you unwind and feel grounded. In this recording you will walk along a peaceful path to a quiet beach with turquoise water, soft white sand and the sound of gentle waves. It is a calm place you can return to whenever you need steadying or ease.
You can download it for free through my website. Settle your body, press play and give yourself a few minutes of calm.

Therapy should never be about fitting people into boxes. It should be about understanding how each person experiences the world, and helping them thrive in their own way. That’s what neuro-affirming therapy is all about — and it’s the focus of my latest blog for Wobble.
I wanted to share how this approach can make therapy more inclusive, compassionate, and genuinely supportive for neurodivergent people.

The quiet power of setting boundaries lies in kindness to yourself and others.

Boundaries protect your wellbeing. They are gentle acts of self-respect that create space for healing and growth. Saying no doesn't mean shutting people out; it means honouring your needs without guilt or fear.

It's okay to choose where your energy flows. This choice is a form of kindness that nurtures your strength and peace.

What small boundary might you honour today to protect your wellbeing?
