Self-loathing isn’t born from weakness though. It’s often the residue of old wounds, expectations you bent yourself to meet, love you had to earn and mistakes you were never allowed to outgrow. Over time you learn to target the same harshness against yourself that the world once showed you. You become both the hurt one and the one punishing yourself too.

Beneath even the deepest self-disgust there is always a quieter voice when you dig for it. The part of you that still hopes for softness, even if you don’t believe you deserve it. That small voice isn’t naïve it’s a survivor!

Real healing begins when you let that voice speak. Not to cancel the darkness but to remind you that you are more than the parts of yourself you’ve learned to hate.

Book an intro call to help put you at ease taking the first step and give you an opportunity to ask any questions. We will briefly discuss what your struggles are to identify which Therapist may be a good match before investing any time, money or effort.

If you'd prefer you can do the questionnaire instead.

You will then be sent personalised information and a booking link, if you choose to go ahead and get started.

Here at Silver Linings we have very high standards and the work is put in, in the background to ensure you get the best possible support that you deserve! We're aware that issues can come up sometimes and always value client feedback.

Ironically we are currently interviewing for the new Trainees for 2026 intake and are very proud of the current ones too 💜

We get so focused on the life we’re building that we forget to honor the versions of ourselves that got us to this point. The one who showed up when no one was watching and who took small steps when everything felt heavy. You owe that person gratitude. You owe them pride.

Dreaming of a better life is beautiful but remember the future you want is rooted in the courage of your past. Every scar, every setback and every lesson shaped your resilience and character. You are worthy. You’re not behind. You’re not lost. You’re simply re-aligning and evolving.

Take a moment to sit with that, the distance between who you were and who you are today. Let it fill you with quiet pride. You’re already living proof that transformation is possible. Keep your eyes on the dream yes but don’t forget to celebrate the journey that’s made you strong enough to chase it.

You're not where you want to be right now but you're also not where you used to be!

With all the training and textbooks in the world no one knows you the way you do! You're with your mind 24/7! A Therapist therfore should not tell you directly what to do they support you make sense of things in your own way, feel peace, acceptance or find answers as they naturally come. They will help draw out those things with you and encourage deeper exploration.

When the weight of what’s next feels unbearable the mind tries to escape to the future for control or back to the past for meaning. Peace only lives here though in this moment. The present is the only place strong enough to hold you when everything else feels uncertain. There's a time and a place to reflect, explore or set goals but some days you just need to be.

Taking it one day at a time means showing up even when your mind trembles. Healing often happens in the pauses, in the quiet places where nothing seems to be changing but something inside you is learning to breathe again. We also can gain clarity when we slow down the pace of life. Slowly chipping away at things is better than collapsing from pressure.

Let today be all you have to manage. Let the sun rise and set without asking it for more.

We get asked about why we don't share content based on labels or theory a lot here at Silver Linings. It is indeed intentional. Although everything is underpinned by theory we believe in being human first. Likewise in sessions we won't bombard you with psychology jargon it will feel like a 2 way meaningful conversation. Some clients are curious and bring bits they've read too and that's cool but not necessary. We do the training so you dont have to!

Asking for help means you’re willing to let someone else witness your struggle and that’s deeply human. It’s how we build connection, trust and empathy. No one is meant to carry everything alone but we often forget that until the weight becomes unbearable. Reaching out doesn’t mean you’re failing it means you’re still choosing to fight, to heal and to keep going.

The truth is vulnerability is the foundation of real strength. It opens doors to understanding, support and growth that isolation can never offer. So when you ask for help you’re not giving up you’re allowing something greater in. You’re choosing truth over pride, connection over silence. That choice, though it may tremble at first is one of the bravest you’ll ever make. It can be with people you know have your best interest at heart or for deeper work a professional but you have to take the first step.

Talking to a Therapist can be so freeing because talking to the ones close to you is not always helpful or appropriate. People may jump into 'fix' or give opinions. They are also coming from an emotional investment which can blur their judgment. That's not anyone's fault either it's just the dynamic and it also doesn't mean a real bond isn't built with a Therapist too.

This is the moment of impact; when loss or trauma takes shape. Sometimes it’s silence that creates the most turmoil. You might not even understand what’s happened only that you have to make sense of the events and adapt. Something in you is different now too, heavier, quieter and guarded. It’s the kind of moment that splits your life into before and after and you spend years trying to process or find meaning in your own way.

The body remembers what the mind tries to forget aswel. The heart builds walls to survive what the soul cannot yet process. You learn to move carefully through the world pretending to be whole while something unseen aches beneath the surface.

Even in that ache though there’s a kind of strength, the kind that only comes from surviving what should have broken you completely. An instinct that refuses to give up. A heart that still believes in loving others and not letting pain change who you are and how you treat others.

Healing doesn’t happen in one grand moment. It comes in fragments also, not linear but in the softness of safe company, in the courage to speak up and in the quiet acceptance of your own fragility. The moment of impact may have changed you but it didn’t end you. Beneath the wreckage you’re still here — breathing, rebuilding, remembering who you were before the storm and who you will slowly becoming after it.

Even when the world turns upside down the human spirit still finds a way to rise and turn pain to power!
