🌈✨ Emotions Unplugged: if they could
speak…

imagine if your emotions could step out of your mind and have a heart to heart chat with you, what do you think they would say❓

let’s do this together ⤵️

1️⃣ choose your emotion: take a moment to think about an emotion you’ve been experiencing lately… is it anger, anxiety, joy sadness or maybe something else entirely❓

2️⃣ If that emotion could speak, what words would it share with you❓would it express its needs, fears, or perhaps a longing for understanding❓write down a few sentences as if you’re having a conversation with it

3️⃣ comment below if you wish with your chosen emotion and the message it would bring, let’s create an assortment of emotions together… your insights might resonate with someone else who’s feeling the same way

4️⃣ take a moment to reflect, why do you think this emotion chose to communicate with you in this way❓what can you learn from it❓

🧠 lets open the floor to our emotions and speak freely about what’s actually going on in our head 🧠

🌿 FEEL good FRIDAY 🌿 fans

as we reach the end of another week, I have been reflecting on how much studying CBT and engaging in my own therapy have shaped the way I now work and live my life, these experiences have helped me overcome various challenges, understand myself more deeply, and approach life with greater balance and compassion

one of the most valuable lessons I have learned through this is to appreciate the present moment, as each day offers small opportunities for joy, a meaningful conversation, a quiet pause or a smile that lingers a little longer than usual

we can’t always predict what tomorrow will bring… but we can choose to make today count ✨

so today I’m reminding myself and hopefully you too to slow down, notice what is good and take a moment to feel thankful for how far we have come, let this FEEL GOOD FRIDAY be a reminder to cherish the present, lean into your present feelings, and find strength in your own vulnerability

🌟 together let’s nurture positivity and resilience, making every Friday an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of being alive 🌟

do you ever… ⤵️

feel completely drained by the smallest decisions like what to eat, what to wear, what style to do your hair or whether to reply now or later ❓

DECISION FATIGUE is the quiet mental load that builds up when our brains are constantly juggling choices from morning right through till night

CBT helps us notice the unhelpful thinking patterns that make this worse like 👇

🎯 perfectionism (i have to make the right
choice)

🎯 catastrophising (If I get this wrong it will
be a disaster)

🎯 people pleasing (I don’t want to upset
anyone)

and suddenly…

even small decisions feel huge, cognitive behavioural therapy can help create small routines, simplify things where possible, and remind yourself that GOOD ENOUGH really is GOOD ENOUGH

every time you take one thing off your mind, you make room for calm and clarity

do YOU notice decision fatigue creeping in during your week ❓

what is 1️⃣small choice you could make easier for yourself today ❓

💡last night I did something I have never done before👇

i went to a concert 🎶 on my own‼️

at first it felt a bit strange stepping out of my comfort zone but once I got there something shifted…

i felt free, confident, and completely present in the moment, it reminded me that empowerment often starts with the courage to do things for ourselves, even (and especially) when it feels a little uncomfortable

i have a feeling this is the first of many solo adventures 🎉

what about you❓ fans

what is 1️⃣ thing you would love to try on your own…. just for YOU ❓

LETS TALK 🗣️ Dopmamine….. fans

We often hear that dopamine is the
🧠 pleasure chemical 🧠 but that’s not quite true 👇

Dopamine isn’t really about PLEASURE it’s about PURPOSE

🚨 it drives us to seek, pursue and move towards the things that matter to us

🚨 it’s what motivates us to get up, take action and keep going

PLEASURE is what we FEEL after we have achieved something meaningful and DOPAMINE is what gets us there in the first place

when we understand that, we can start to build lives that feel not just good, but purposeful

🚨something I often talk about with my clients is ⤵️

PROGRESS

Progress doesn’t always look like those big life changing moments we see online, sometimes its just getting out of bed when it would have been easier not to, its saying no when you usually say yes, its pausing before reacting, or simply getting through a tough day and showing up again tomorrow.

REAL growth is often quiet and messy its not the stuff people tend to post about because most of it happens behind the scenes, in the moments no one sees.

So… if your progress doesn’t look picture perfect thats completely fine, its still progress. Every small step, every tiny effort, every ‘I tried today’ counts. Thats the REAL work ‼️

How has progress been showing up for you lately, even in the smallest ways❓

Motivational Monday 🌿

a new week is a fresh start, a gentle reminder that you have the power to show up as your true, authentic self

each day is another chance to reset, refocus and reconnect with what truly matters to you

this week, try to give yourself space to grow, that might mean setting one small, realistic goal that aligns with your true values, practising kindness towards yourself or simply taking a mindful pause before the day begins

Small but consistent steps create powerful change over time

i would love to hear from you… what is ONE thing you are doing this week to move closer to your goals or support your wellbeing? ⬇️

👀 this doesn’t always look obvious 👀

Depression 👇
it can feel like constant tiredness, losing interest in what you used to love, struggling to focus, or putting on a brave face while feeling empty inside
depression can affect anyone no matter your age, background, or how “together” life might look from the outside

I support people to make sense of what is happening, recognise unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to feel more balanced and in control again, you don’t have to face this on your own the proper support really can make a difference

if this resonates, you are welcome to get in touch for a confidential chat about how i can help you or someone you care about, taking that first step towards support can be the start of feeling more like you again
