This week is mostly fuelled by cold & flu lemon drink and ginger cordial! Adding ginger cordial is such a game changer!

I really struggle with feeling poorly - not because of the obvious discomfort, but because of the guilt feelings I carry with it.

This week I came home from my volunteer shift at the counselling charity on Tuesday at lunchtime and went to bed. I’ve pretty much stayed here since!!

I’ve had to cancel client sessions, plans to meet with a friend and help my parents with an online issue. And I HATE it!! I hate letting people down, I hate changing plans, I hate the idea of making others feel let down.

However, just like I’m always telling my clients, I have to listen to my body. I often use the analogy of a water jug when it comes to managing our energy and meeting our self care needs… you can’t pour from an empty jug and in order to help others you need to take time to refill your jug!

So, here I am with my ginger and lemon medicated drink, acknowledging the thoughts of guilt that come to my mind and letting them pass without judgement, knowing that taking time to rest and feel better will allow me to be the best therapist, friend and daughter that I can be.

Showing my self this kindness and self-love will aid my recovery, quieten the internal critic and strengthen my relationship with myself!

I hope you are all feeling well and avoiding the seasonal viruses! 💚

Perimenopause and menopause can bring so many unexpected emotions — from sudden tears and irritability to moments of deep reflection and change.

You are not “losing yourself.” You’re moving through a powerful transformation — one that deserves understanding, gentleness, and support.

Counselling can offer you a calm, confidential space to explore what’s shifting within you… to release the emotional weight, reconnect with who you are, and rediscover your balance.

🌿 I currently have a few openings for new weekly counselling sessions — both online and in-person.

If you’re ready to feel more grounded, supported, and at peace in this new chapter, I’d love to help you get there.

💬 Message me to arrange a free, no-pressure chat about how therapy could support you.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is pause and make space to be heard.

Lessons to be learned from “Lilly” our bathroom peace lily 🪴

1. Everything in moderation
Lilly has lived in several spots in the home, some spots where she got too much sunlight, some spots where she didn’t get enough. Here in the bathroom she gets plenty of indirect sunlight from the Velux above her and she’s thriving. ☀️

2. Stay hydrated
When Lilly gets thirsty her leaves look sad, droopy and dull. Nobody wants to look sad, droopy or dull!💧

3. Communication is key
Learning how Lilly communicates with her droopy leaves when she’s thirsty or yellow leaves if she’s over watered has taken the guessing game out of things for us. She feels so much healthier now that someone is listening to her. 🗣️

4. Find your tribe
Lilly & Super Duck look so happy hanging out in the bathroom together. 🥰

Just like Lilly, we all thrive when our needs are heard and met. 💚
If you’re ready to find your balance again — emotionally, energetically, or searching for clarity— I’d love to help you grow and flourish. 🌸
