I need your recommendations for angry woman songs.

I’ve been inspired by the BBC series Riot Women and started taking singing lessons last week.

Throughout my education singing was always based on what others wanted for me. Classical music, Musical theatre, that kind of thing. But this little adventure is just for me. (Promise, I’m not about to subject you to it.)

I want to use my voice to explore genuine variety of emotion and I want to start with anger.

What do you think? Punk, Soul, Rock, Metal?

What are you offering yourself as a gift right now? Or what would you like to? Let me know in the comments.

And if talking about any of your emotions might be that thing, I happen to be a BACP registered professional at hearing you.

Let’s book a free 30 min intro session to see how that feels to you. Contacts in the first comment.

Feeling the Friday Feeling or Friday Failing?

If your brain won’t switch off, this is for you.

To everyone who is successful and also utterly exhausted: Do you end the day feeling beyond spent but still unable to switch off? That feeling where you close your laptop, but your mind immediately starts spinning out five new worries or ten old regrets? That isn't just stress; it’s Executive Function Overload.
I've created a series of practical, neuro-affirming sessions designed to stop that specific kind of relentless mental noise. No fluff, just structured techniques that give your brilliant, busy brain the rest it actually needs.
Details for how you can sample this methodology for just £10 are dropping soon. Get ready to finally give your mind a break.

What a lovely opportunity to mark this day with an act of kindness.
You can't look out for others unless you take care of yourself so kindness to yourself counts too.

Here are some suggestions to choose from or perhaps you have a version that is even more fitting for you.
Run a bath and use your senses to experience it mindfully
Go outdoors and inhale the air, feel the sun on your face.
Read a book, do something for your own happiness everyday.
Seek opportunities to help and support others but stay within your own capacity, your own mental health needs supporting too!

What act of kindness will you do today?

The Silent Challenge of Cognitive Burnout

For fellow Mental Health Professionals (MHP) working with ADHD clients: Are you seeing a spike in clients reporting genuine exhaustion from chronic mental over-processing?

We know that relying on unstructured relaxation often fails them. I’ve been working on a structured, neuro-affirming methodology that shifts the focus from "sitting still" to functional cognitive rest.

I’m excited to share a low-cost CPD opportunity very soon that offers a practical toolkit for managing this specific issue, for both you and your clients.

Keep an eye on my profile this week for the details! We need better tools for this.

Nobody is perfect. It’s not possible to be perfect. So how much pain, energy and time could we save if we made peace with that?

Often our deepest suffering is the sense that something we have done—something about us—is fundamentally wrong and unacceptable. Finding a way to make peace with our human imperfections is the ground of all healing.

CPD Day! I’m attending the online AD4E Festival today.
Give me a shout if you are too.

A Disorder 4 Everyone is a non-pathologising organisation helping us all to keep in mind that the care we’re offering is to be with our clients as they progress, not to fix them. Nothing to fix here.

This morning I was feeling a little chilly, so I reached for a shawl.
No one else in my home did. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t cold.

It reminded me how often we dismiss our own needs because they don’t match someone else’s.
Your experience is real, even if it’s different. You don’t need to justify how you feel by comparing it to anyone else.

If that’s something you’re working on, let’s talk.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation. No pressure, just space to be heard.

When will you take care of the stories you tell yourself?

It took me 10 months to allow myself this day.

I’ve had a spa gift voucher since Christmas 2024 and have been putting off booking it all this time!

Here are some of the thoughts I recognised and reframed to get here:
I’ll lose a day of income.

I have too much to do.

My clients will be inconvenienced.

My child will need me.

It’s indulgent.

The reframe:
My rest is worth prioritising and investing in.

I’ve lost whole days to procrastination and unintended delays. Planning one in for me actually helps me tackle the to do list.

I picked a quiet day and the clients who were affected were lovely about me taking care of my needs. It benefits them when I do.

My child is delighted for me that I’m doing this and very capable of occupying herself. And it benefits her when I’m more resourced.

Self care is essential. Just like a balanced diet and regular exercise, rest and relaxation really benefits our whole being.

What stories in your head are stopping you from prioritising your needs?

Your next opportunity to take care of that is on Sunday 30/11 when Louise Malyan and I will run a full day workshop on how to to take what we need this winter. You’ll get your creative tool kit delivered to your door ready for this Sunday of self exploration, planning and self-compassion.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Parenting as an ADHD-er can feel like being pulled in a hundred directions, while trying to remember where you left the list.

It’s not always easy to talk about.
You’re supposed to hold it all together.
But what if you didn’t have to?

This month, I’ll be sharing more about what it looks like to parent as a neurodivergent adult, including the bits that aren’t often said out loud.

In the meantime, you can listen to a podcast where I chatted about this:
