Evoking Health

05/01/2026

As a Health Psychologist, this is the part I work with every day.

As knowing what to eat or how to move your body doesn’t help much when...

❌Motivation drops
❌Hunger increases
❌Stress takes over
❌Old habits resurface

This is when people are left relying on willpower... and the problem with willpower is that it is extremely fragile under pressure.

Which is why I am on a mission to help people realise that sustainable change comes from understanding HOW to respond in those moments, not just setting rules in January.

I don’t do this work lightly.

My professional training and my personal experiences have shown me what happens when people are left feeling responsible for outcomes they were never properly supported with.

Weight management is complex.
Health is complex.
And people deserve care that reflects that.

If you’ve ever felt blamed, confused, or let down by “simple” solutions - please know you’re not alone.

& this is what my page is all about.

As I wrap up the year and celebrate three years of Evoking Health both personally and professionally, it feels inevitable to reflect on my why .🌱

My why has always been simple: helping people understand themselves with compassion, not blame. Real change doesn’t come from willpower alone, it comes from understanding our habits, our nervous system, our core beliefs and the stories we carry. 💫

Working across the NHS and private practice, my work sits at the intersection of mind, body, and behaviour, supporting people with weight, health change, chronic illness and very human challenges.

This year hasn’t been about big wins or shiny achievements. It’s been about resilience, pauses, and staying aligned with what really matters and those experiences have shaped something new.

As we move into 2026, I’m excited to be developing a new service focused on sustainable health, mindset, and long-term change.

More to share soon.

Thank you for being here. ❤️

This year has asked a lot of me - 5 bereavements and a recent family member’s cancer diagnosis. As a psychologist, I’m used to being the steady one… but I’m also human. And over the last month, I’ve had to pause, feel, grieve and take time out. 🙏🏾

Setbacks don’t discriminate. Even when your job is to help others heal, life still reminds you that none of us are immune to struggle. What matters is how we support ourselves through it. 🪷

My advantage was knowing what I needed to do to move forward — the same foundations I teach my patients and clients: coming back to the basics, coming back to lifestyle. Not always easy. 😔

But here are the practices that have helped me cope, stay grounded, manage the waves of emotions and heal:
✨ Prioritising sleep — real rest so my body and mind can recover.
✨ Nourishing myself with good food and supplements.
✨ Meditation and gentle movement to release tension and boost happy hormones.
✨ Slowing down and accepting what is, rather than resisting the reality I’m facing.
✨ Reducing stimulation to soothe and support my nervous system.

If you’re going through something difficult, please remember: you don’t have to push through it alone, and you don’t need to be perfectly “strong.”

Healing often starts with giving yourself permission to pause. ❤️‍🩹

💫Sending strength and love your way. 💌

✨ Delighted to be featured on Patient.info ✨And even more meaningful to share this on World Diabetes Day 2025💙

In the feature, I talk about the psychological side of diabetes because managing this condition is just as much about mindset, stress, habits and support as it is about blood sugar. 🧠

For over a decade I’ve worked with people navigating the emotional and behavioural challenges of diabetes, helping them build confidence, resilience and healthier routines that actually last.

Grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on the whole-person approach to diabetes care.

As the clocks go back, many of us start to feel that subtle shift — darker mornings, shorter days, and for some, a dip in mood known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 😒

☀️ One simple but powerful way to support your wellbeing is by getting morning light exposure. Even a few minutes of natural light can help regulate your mood and energy levels throughout the day.

If you haven’t already, check out my Verywell Mind article where I share more about this daily micro-habit and how it can support your mental health. 🧠

💭 Negative vs. Growth Mindset in Weight Loss

When it comes to lasting change, your mindset matters more than the meal plan or a fixed exercise regimen.

A negative mindset says:
❌ “I’ve failed again.”
❌ “I’ll never stick to it.”
❌ “I have no willpower.”

A growth mindset says:
✅ “What can I learn from this setback?”
✅ “Progress takes time.”
✅ “I can build healthier habits step by step.”

When you meet yourself with self-compassion, you’re more likely to stay consistent — not because you’re perfect, but because you stop giving up every time things get hard.

Remember: the goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress and patience. 💚

✨ NEW BLOG ALERT ✨
Why Change Is Meant to Feel Hard.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why can’t I just stick to this?”Then you’re not alone.

Change feels hard because your brain is wired to protect you by keeping life familiar. Even positive changes can trigger resistance, as they disrupt your routines and push you outside your comfort zone.
It’s OK, you’re human. 🙋🏽‍♀️ 🧠

The good news? You can work with your brain:
🌱 Start with small, consistent steps
💪 See discomfort as a sign of progress
🕊 Make changes gradual so they feel safe

When you understand this, you stop seeing struggle as failure and start seeing it as part of the process.

Happy Friday!
