Its giving "have you tried not worrying about it" energy 😅🤦‍♀️

Overthinking isn't something you can just switch off, because it’s often your mind trying to protect you, anticipate things, or stay one step ahead of discomfort.

And when no one explains that or helps you look depper, it’s easy to believe you’re the issue 😕

But you’ve just been given advice that’s missing context, you're not broken, over sensitive or dramatic, and you're not alone 🩷

“Attention seeking” is something I hear many parents worry about, particularly when they feel unsure how to respond to their child.

But when we begin to understand attention as a basic human need, it can shift how we make sense of our children's behaviour, and how we choose to respond to them. Often, what looks like 'difficult behaviour' on the surface is a young person trying to communicate something they don’t yet have the words for.

If you’re finding yourself feeling unsure or worried about how best to support your daughter, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I'm a therapist based in Burscough and online working with teen girls and women, and I'm currently accepting new clients.
You’re very welcome to reach out and book in a free consultation call to explore how therapy could support your daughter, and how you can feel supported in this too 🩷✨

There was a version of me who genuinely believed that if my body looked different, everything else would fall into place. I'd feel more confident, worthy, good enough and my life would magically be better🪄

Underneath that, there was a fear of being judged, rejected or not chosen by others and so much of what I did was fuelled by those feelings, I was so stuck 😔

Now at 31, it's not that I don't have those thoughts anymore, I just that I no longer treat them as the truth. I’m learning that my worth isn’t something I earn through how I look or how I’m perceived by others, it’s something I get to define for myself.

I see this so often in the women and girls I work with too, the belief that life would feel better if their body or personality changed, when actually, it’s the way they see themselves that needs support, not fixing 🩷

If this is something you can relate to, and you'd like to find out how therapy can help you build self worth and confidence from the inside out, feel free to drop me a message or book in a free consultation call via the link in my bio 📩✨

Comparison is one of those things that people often dismiss as 'normal' and relatively common. But for some, it can become a daily battle in their own heads and a constant struggle to move past 😔

For so many of the teens and women I work with, comparison didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s been shaped over time by subtle messages about their worth, appearance, success, and where they “should” be in life, alongside experiences where feeling accepted or good enough didn’t always feel guaranteed.

🧠So the brain adapts, it starts scanning, measuring, trying to work out where you stand and how you’re being perceived by others. Not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because some part of you is trying to keep you safe from rejection or not belonging.

The difficult part is that even though your brain is trying to protect you, it often leaves you feeling like you’re constantly failing.

✨That's where therapy can come in and help you build a sense of self-worth that isn’t so easily shaken by comparison.

Because when your worth doesn’t feel like something that has to be constantly proven, comparison naturally starts to lose some of its grip.

A lot of clients I've worked with believed self-worth came from becoming “better” somehow. Whether it was looking different, achieving more or being easier to like.

But real self-worth often begins when you stop trying to prove your value and start allowing your needs to matter too.

Remember that you are allowed to take up space 🩷

You deserve support that isn’t about shrinking your body, but about rebuilding your self-worth and feeling more at ease in your own skin 🥰
