20/01/2026
Jumping on the “2026 is the new 2016” bandwagon — but with perspective.
2016 was the year that changed my relationship with myself.
And in many ways, 2026 is asking for the same things.
2016 was a pivotal year for my mental health. I began questioning the life I was living and looking for a career change. That’s when I found a counselling course — something that quietly lit a spark. I stopped drinking to clear my head, found like-minded people in a support group, and was in therapy myself.
It wasn’t a glow-up year.
It was a wake-up year.
So as I step into 2026, I’m bringing the lessons 2016 taught me:
✨ Be honest with yourself
✨ Create space instead of numbing
✨ Let small, consistent changes lead the way
✨ Find your people
✨ Trust the process — therapy included
And if 2026 feels like a turning point for you too, but you’re not sure where to start — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I, or other like-minded therapists, can help you find your way. 🤍
2016 laid the foundations.
If 2026 is the new 2016, then I know exactly what that asks of me.
