Merry Christmas 🎄

At this time of year, it’s important to remember that Christmas can bring up many different emotions — and all of them are valid.
Whether today feels joyful, heavy, quiet, or mixed, you’re allowed to meet yourself with compassion.

Wishing you a gentle, restful Christmas.

Reflective practice isn’t optional — it’s protective.

Therapists often absorb emotional material without realising it, and that residue can show up as:
🔸 Fatigue
🔸 Compassion irritation
🔸 Over-identifying with clients
🔸 Avoidance
🔸 Feeling “full” after sessions

Today’s wisdom:
Supervision is not just a requirement.
It’s a space for regulation, grounding, perspective-taking, and reconnecting with your purpose.

Your wellbeing directly shapes the quality of the space you hold.
Protecting it is part of the work.

One of the most powerful things you can learn about yourself is your Window of Tolerance — the zone where your nervous system can cope, think clearly, and respond rather than react.

Outside that window?
🔸 Hyperarousal – anxiety, overwhelm, racing thoughts
🔸 Hypoarousal – numb, shut down, disconnected

Today’s wisdom:
You’re not “overreacting” or “being too sensitive.”
Your nervous system is communicating its limits.

Practical ways to widen your window:
✔ Gentle grounding (deep breaths, feet on the floor)
✔ Routine + predictability
✔ Reducing sensory overwhelm
✔ Supportive relationships or supervision
✔ Trauma-informed therapy

A regulated nervous system isn’t a luxury — it’s a foundation.
Be curious, not critical, about what your window is telling you.

Therapy isn’t easy — and it’s not supposed to be.
Whether you’re trying to change an old pattern, heal from a relationship, or understand the stories that shape how you see yourself I’m here to help you find a way through.
I work in an integrative, relational way combining neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma-informed approaches.
Because real healing doesn’t come from one method — it comes from the relationship we build together.
I don’t believe in limiting labels.
You’re more than a diagnosis — you’re a whole person, with a story that deserves to be seen, heard, and re-imagined.
Based in Gloucestershire,London.
Working in person at 10 Harley Street, London, and online across the UK and internationally 🌍
I’m an accredited BACP therapist, fully insured and accepted by Vitality, AXA, Aviva, and WPA.
If you’re curious about therapy or wondering what working together might feel like, send a message —
the first step is simply a conversation. 💬

Finding the right therapist can make all the difference — and it’s completely okay to take your time until it feels like a good fit.

Here’s a quick checklist to help you figure out if a therapist might be the right match for you 👇

✨ You feel safe, seen & not judged
✨ They listen (not lecture)
✨ Their approach fits your needs — gentle, structured, creative, practical
✨ They understand neurodivergence, not just say they do
✨ Communication feels clear & accessible
✨ You can ask questions without feeling silly
✨ Fees, boundaries & availability are transparent
✨ Sessions fit your energy & schedule
✨ You can be honest — even about wanting to leave

💭 Remember: You’re allowed to change your mind.
You’re allowed to find what works for you.

👉 Save this for later or share it with someone starting their therapy journey.

Therapy isn’t just for the hard days.
It’s for the in-between days too —
when you feel “fine-ish” but something still feels heavy.
When you’re tired of repeating old patterns.
When you want to feel more you.

Starting therapy doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you —
it means you’re ready to grow. 🌱

Some people need structure and strategies 🧩
Others need space and softness 🌿
And some need both — at different times.

That’s the thing about therapy: it’s not about forcing you into a box. It’s about meeting you where you are and helping you build tools that actually fit your life (and your brain).

At TYKhan International, sessions are shaped around you — your pace, your personality, your goals. Because healing looks different for everyone. 💛

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are our brains. Here’s a quick explainer ⬇️

✨ CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Think of it as a mental workout. It helps you spot unhelpful thought patterns and swap them for ones that actually serve you. Great for anxiety, low mood, and everyday challenges.

✨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing)
Sounds fancy, right? It’s a powerful way of helping the brain process traumatic memories that feel “stuck.” With guided eye movements (or similar techniques), your brain files those memories properly so they don’t keep hijacking your present.

🔑 Both are evidence-based. Both can be life-changing. The best fit depends on you and what you’re dealing with.
