So much of the hardest work in this world is the work no one sees.

The carer who gives more than they are paid for.
The parents who never clock off.
The nurses whose hearts carry far more than their shift notes show.

And the everyday helpers who quietly chooses compassion- even when someone assumes its because you get paid.

In counselling, I meet so many people who feel unseen.
So here's a reminder.
Your efforts count.
Your care matters.
You are allowed to feel proud of what no one else notices.

What silent work do you do?

The other day I saw a little child - maybe four or five years telling little fibs to its parents. The type of fibs that are so obvious they usually make me smile.

But this time instead if smiling I felt myself tense.

It made me wonder. Were they really being "naughty" or had I just been taught to see noise and backchat as "trouble"?

Sometimes what looks like defiance is just a child being a child. And sometimes our reactions come from old wounds.

If you need a safe place to talk things though, please know I am here.

A few weeks ago, I woke up coughing and short of breath.
For a moment the fear of Covid came rushing back - the isolation, and the grief we all lived through.
Thankfully I was fine. But fear can surface so easily as the body remembers what our minds try to forget.
If moments like this unsettle you too, please know you are not alone.

Sometimes the people we love the most are also the ones that push our buttons the hardest. They are the ones that make us question ourselves, and who can bring us to tears. In a healthy relationship that can be okay because in the end we can repair and reconnect.
But it isn't always so simple. In abusive relationships for instance, our emotional vulnerability can be used against us. And then there are times when the "hurt" isn't abuse at all - like when someone we love begins to lose themselves to dementia, or when a child lashes out because they simply don't have the words yet to explain what they are feeling.
It reminds me how vital it is for us all to be gentle. Because for so many of us gentleness isn't something we were shown when we were small.
How do you show gentleness even when you feel hurt?

It's been half term. And like many women - mums, grandmothers and carers - I've been very busy.
What strikes me is how universal that feeling is. No matter our background or where we live, so many of us share one deep instinct - to keep our children safe.
Its hard work too. And sometimes we worry we've failed. But I truly believe that the very act of worrying and loving and trying, means we haven't failed. Your child knows its loved. But the weight of it all can sometimes feel too much. So remember - you deserve the space to be seen and heard too. So what makes you feel that the love you give is seen and valued?

I would love a new car! Last month I wrote about how my car was of the road for two days. Well the repairs didn't end there. I needed a new battery too. And again, not cheap. Wouldn't it be lovely not to need a car? And the expenses that go along with it. Or to go back to a more sedate time with a horse and cart? Wishing and dreaming of better things or better days. Last month I said the heavy feelings don't last. And thats true. But aren't they horrible whilst we are in the middle of them? And if wishing and dreaming helps, then I'm all for it. What are your thoughts?

The clocks go back this weekend. Which always messes with my head. This annual ritual started in 1916. Do we still need it today? What do you think?

I read a Guardian Article yesterday that said that family courts should no longer assume that having contact with both parents is always in the best interests of the child.
I think this an important and long overdue change. For decades children have been forced into contact with abusive parents because of that assumption. And also through that, the non-abusive parent has often be re-traumatised over and over again. Many abusers have used the family courts as yet another weapon to control, manipulate and harm their ex-partners.
This change is fantastic but it comes too late for so many children and their families. And my heart goes out to those that had to keep reliving the trauma because of a system that didn't protect them.
Are you one of those for whom this ruling came too late?
