Anxious people pleasers…this one is for you! 🩰👟🛼👢

What if I told you, your anxiety was coming from your shoes being too tight? 😳🙊

This is one of my favourite metaphors to help explain the consequences of our people pleasing behaviours 🪩 🕺🏻 ✨

Let me know what you think of it below! 👇🏻 💾

Why as a therapist, I’ll always be the student and never the teacher 📚

Every client I meet teaches me something new about what it means to be human 👤

Yes, CBT and therapy gives us frameworks, I know how to unpick what you’re feeling and thinking, and how to help direct you to discover from what place that is coming from and how we can change that.

I’ve studied 6 years in total in various University degrees, but for me the real learning happens in the therapy room 🧩

This is because a client is ALWAYS an expert in their own experience.

CBT gives us a map, but every client draws their own path 🗺️

My role isn’t to just take them to their destination, it’s to walk beside them along the way.

Sometimes clients show me a new route I’ve never seen before 🛣️

That’s when I remember: I’m not the teacher.

I’m the forever a student learning what courage, insight, and change can really look like ❤️

This quote right here, was said to me by one of my lecturers in my therapist training.

And it has stuck with me ever since, both personally within my own life but also professionally when helping clients.

I often see clients tangled in layers of overthinking, analysis, and “what if” loops. The natural instinct is to look for a complex fix, that magic wand 🪄

BUT 👀 If your life is already being bombarded with complexity, the last thing we want to do is throw a bunch of things at you, which are going to be incredibly difficult to implement.

After working with me, my clients will tell you:

1. You don’t have to have everything figured out.

2. You don’t need a 10-step plan or the perfect morning routine.

3. You need to learn how to regulate and zoom out of the chaos first.

4. You don’t need to untangle everything at once, just start with one thought.

Sometimes, the more complex the problem, the simpler the approach needs to be.

Just make that small, first step.

Booking that intro call may just be the place to start 📞 💭

“The straw that broke the camel’s back” 🌾🐪

We’ve all heard of that saying, but…

It’s not JUST a saying! It is how your nervous system works 🙂‍↕️

Tiny stressors build up, each one small on its own…until one last thing tips you over 💢

It’s a sign you’ve carried too much for too long.
That last “thing” isn’t you being dramatic, it’s a signal ⚠️

When this happens, your mind, body and emotions are asking for rest, support, and regulation.

Emotional awareness is important as it teaches us to pause before the breaking point 🌿

That’s why self-care isn’t indulgent, it’s necessary!
It’s just like a reset button, a check in.

How can you lighten the camel’s load this weekend? 🐪 🌾 💛 💭

❌ Not making a decision IS a decision.

I hate making decisions, I always have and find it really difficult, no matter how big or small.

By not making a decision, it can feel like pressing pause ⏯️, but in reality, not choosing is still an active choice and it shapes your life just as much as a conscious “yes” or “no.”

For example:
👉 Not deciding whether to cut someone off means you’ve decided to keep them in your life.
👉 Not deciding whether to leave a job means you’ve decided to stay in it.
👉 Not deciding whether to start therapy means you’ve decided to keep coping the same way.
👉 Not deciding whether to change a habit means you’ve decided to maintain it.

We often forget that indecision keeps us on the current path. And sometimes, that path is exactly what we don’t want.

💭 Ask yourself two things: If I continue making this same “non-decision,” where could I be in six months? If I choose to make a decision, where could I be in six months?

🚨 Emotions are signals - not enemies.

🙂🙃 In CBT, we focus on identifying thoughts that shape how we feel, and then practicing healthier ways to respond.

🧠✨ Processing emotions = not bottling your feelings and not beating yourself up for feeling them. It’s giving yourself the space to feel and heal. 💛

Am I just stressed, a little down or anxious…or do I need therapy? 😵‍💫

Sometimes, we just need some time, rest and coping strategies to feel like ourselves again 🧘‍♀️

Other times, we might need a bit of extra support if that doesn’t help by itself 🫴🏻

Life naturally brings ups and downs. Stress, challenges, and tough moments are part of being human. But sometimes what we’re experiencing goes beyond “just a rough patch”, and needing help with that is also human ❤️‍🩹

I am here if you want to check in with me and figure out what you might need 🙋🏻‍♀️

Ever notice how hard it is to just… take a compliment? Or how perfectionism sneaks in and makes everything feel “not good enough”? 🫠

The good news? These patterns can change and self esteem is something that definitely can improve!

Little shifts like focusing on your strengths, surrounding yourself with positive people, and even doing something kind for someone else can boost your self-esteem more than you think.

And if you’re reading this going, “yeah, but how do I actually DO that?” → that’s exactly what I help people with in CBT. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 🌱 🧩

🪴 Therapy is a space where your trust is never taken for granted.

🧠 As a therapist, I don’t take your trust lightly. It is an honour to sit with you, untangle the knots, and walk alongside you in your journey.

💛 Never underestimate how in awe I am of you when you share something for the first time.

✨ In 120 days, it will be January 1st 2026. How do you want to feel when you step into a new year?

💡 A lot can change in just a few months with the right tools and support if you take control.

🚶‍♀️ Taking the first step might feel daunting, but staying stuck or choosing to break the cycle will take the same amount of energy from you. The difference? One leads to positive change and the other keeps you stuck.

🧩 With CBT, we’ll work together to shift unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier coping skills, and help you feel more grounded and confident.

🌿 Therapy isn’t scary, staying stuck is.

💌 I have limited spaces left in my diary for therapy in 2025 - click the link in my bio or send me a message if you’d like to book your intro call for a time that works for you!
