This month, my private practice turns five years young… and what a journey it’s been both professionally and personally!
Even now I still sometimes need to remind myself that my credentials, my approach, my skills, the practice I’ve built, and who I am is enough.
Many of the things I’ve had to remind myself of over the years are the very things clients come to therapy struggling with.
I may not be a marketing expert or have countless specialisms. I don’t create hundreds of reels or maintain a constant online presence with thousands of followers. But my love for this work, and my commitment to it, remains strong.
I’m proud of how far I’ve come in a profession that sometimes rewards visibility over depth, that seems to promote comparison over collaboration, and where marketing appears to overshadow the core of our profession: supporting clients’ mental health.
And now, with AI entering the space, the future can at times feel uncertain, while also highlighting what can’t be replicated: human presence, attunement, and relationship.
When doubt creeps in, remember: showing up for your clients, practising core counselling skills, staying present with discomfort, remaining grounded, engaging in supervision and professional development, doing your own therapy when needed, and working within your limits, that is enough. You are enough.
I’m grateful to everyone who’s trusted me with their stories, and to the colleagues, supervisors, and supporters who’ve walked alongside me to make these five years possible. Patience is key. Here’s to the next five years of growth, learning, and connection.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, relational, and inclusive therapy, you’re always welcome here.
