Begin where you are, the path forward emerges with you.

On our journey’s to wholeness, a complicated plan of action is not required, all that’s needed is to begin exactly where you are in the present moment, from here your story will flow just where it needs to.

Trusting this, allows us to meet and work through each layer in the time and at the pace that it’s destined to emerge, as this process can’t be rushed.

Conversely, we are likely to revisit layers already touched upon. This may feel as though you are repeating yourself or going round in circles, but it’s more accurate to describe it as a spiral, for each time you go back over events, feelings and memories, you are re-processing them, peeling back the layer further to expose the pain still hiding beneath.

In this way, as we move through the healing spiral, these aspect’s will grow smaller, where you’ll be able to reintegrate and release them, incorporated back into your being with the addition of renewed self esteem, worth, value and confidence along with a stronger relationship with yourself, which goes hand in hand with all you will unearth and discover about yourself on this journey.

So never worry about what to bring to therapy, all that’s needed is to begin where you are, this moment is the present, a transformational gift to yourself 🌈🧡

For anyone needing to hear this today… you really and truly CAN!

Reinforcing a clients belief in themselves is central to the work I do, illuminating all of those positive changes evolving so far on their healing journey, those small wins, to help build resilience so they begin to see themselves as I do, amazing!

This reparative approach heals those old, early years wounds, teaches self compassion, models genuine positive regard, soothes an activated nervous system, promotes autonomy and most wonderfully often works vicariously, healing relationships outside the therapy room.

Your life may be full of negative people, those who tear apart your hopes and dreams, dull your spark and tell you on a daily basis that “you can’t!” Mine used to be, but self compassion showed me and my physical health alerted me to the changes I needed to make, it was hard but I made them.

So never doubt that YOU CAN, it’s all out there waiting for you to find, and it all begins when you focus on your happiness and learn to celebrate the wonder that is you 🧡

Trauma is the imprint of an experience on mind, brain and body, affecting how a person lives in the present.

It reorganises the way our minds and bodies perceive the world, how we see ourselves within it, literally changing our capacity to think.

Not only this but it also affects our mind’s ability to ‘play’ and so any flexibility once enjoyed in terms of imagination, is sadly lost.

Those in the throes of complex trauma will superimpose the original experience onto everything around them, impulsively and perpetually pulling them back into the past, quite often back to the last time they felt connected to deep emotions.

So their ability to relax and lose themselves in fantasies and dreams about the future ceases, as their existence within the wounds of trauma will be an existence without hope, without a chance to envision a better future, with no goals to reach.

This is why establishing a stable scaffolding when working with complex trauma is essential, to ensure healing is rooted in stabilisation, safety and compassion, where the strength and trust created within the foundation of the work, the therapeutic relationship, will be the most potently healing factor of all, as the sensitivity, perception, connection and genuine care needed to heal such a complex presentation, is only equal to the depth of the relationship containing it all.

I would love to hear your thoughts 💭🧡

There has been a palpable sense of emergence this week felt by myself and my clients.

A feeling for them of springing forth, after a long winter healing beneath layers of life, having since been revisited and released.

That sleepy feeling winter brings, a semi hibernation, the darkness and chill, all seem to be abating and there’s signs of spring everywhere.

Just this morning I noticed a female blackbird on the bird table, feeding hungrily, perhaps already pregnant with her brood, those lighter evenings hijacking winters darkness, green shoots emerging through the rain beaten earth and best of all, my long term clients beginning to express such hope for a brighter tomorrow, dreams, plans and ideas to fortify their lives, energised by the beautifully dappled sunshine experienced within the therapy room.

I have been so awestruck to witness them emerging out from the most difficult situations, through traumatic all consuming experiences, having been gripped by shame and regret, now on the other side of darkness, faces fully turned to the sunlight of possibility, of renewed hope and a fledgling relationship with themselves.

Listening with love and empathic understanding are the two magic ingredients of a therapeutic journey that truly heal.

Feeling really heard, perhaps for the first time in their life, being met in this way within a non judgemental and accepting alliance and being held safely within, has positive and long lasting effects on clients.

From this therapeutic bond the person will begin to feel as though they really do matter after all, they can be accepted for the person they are and responded to with genuine care and love.

This firm knowledge is then taken back to their lives and relationships, fortifying them in the process, which is where the transformation begins.

This is the potency of having been listened to with love.

It seems so simple, that’s because it is. It’s the gift of therapy, and with this pure bond at the helm, we sail the rockiest seas together, until we find the light on the horizon, to bring them safely home, back to themselves, back to love.

There’s no right or wrong way of being in therapy.

All that’s asked is you ‘be’ in whatever state of mind you arrive in, bringing what’s needed on that day, even in your rawest feelings, I will meet you there with my whole heart.

I completely accept all that is brought to my therapy room, however angry, bereft or confused you may be.

Therapy can feel quite daunting at first and clients can become overwhelmed by the newness of the experience, often being quite critical of themselves ‘in therapy’ critiquing how they ‘do it.’

I often hear “ I’m so sorry, all I’ve done is waffle on.” Or “ I have no idea what I want to bring today…”

In response to such comments I’ll let them know that I’ve actually been sitting there in complete awe of the courage and honesty they have shown, letting them know they are doing just fine and made perfect sense and we only ever need to start where they are in the moment.

As being your organic, beautifully human and brave beyond belief self is more than enough.

There is no ‘prescription’ in therapy with me you see, as healing happens within the bond we build together and within the authenticity of how we are both showing up in this, exploring, wondering, reflecting and healing as we walk beside one another, one step at a time.

So as much of a cliche as it may be, it’s so important to ‘trust the process’ as all that’s really needed is your presence, sitting with me on the sofa being open to explore all you wish to bring, as session by session you become yourself.

The relationship you have with yourself is THE most precious one of all and its cultivation will be a lifelong endeavour.

From this bond with this person who is you, all that’s most sacred to you will spring. As when you emit vibes of genuine self compassion, worth and true inner valuing out into the universe, you will in turn attract those people and opportunities that meet this positive frequency, receiving all you need to encourage and enable you to shine your brightest.

Aligning fully with yourself in this way and becoming your friend instead of your foe, are a very integral part of the therapy process, where clients learn to grow their relationship with themselves, enabling them in time to reach their soul deep potential, where they are able to find the space and opportunity to flourish and grow within each and every new encounter and endeavour.

As you are all you ever really needed 🧡

Dear January,

As we emerge from our festive holidays, some full of reverie, others relieved to be getting back ‘to normal.’ I’m wondering why your appearance ignites in us a compulsion to change, to reinvent ourselves, to become something more than we already are, when our natural world which clearly received winters memo, models to us REST, REJUVENATION and RENEWAL, surrendering to the ebb and flow of all life brings?

I confess I am someone who struggles to acclimatise to the sudden change in mood once the Christmas lights and sparkle are packed back in the loft, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the sudden starkness, noticing how the bare house seems to accentuate the bare and wintery scene beyond my window pane.

In this you hold an invitation, within the very season you nestle in, to nurture this dip in mood, yet it’s often not as alluring as the yearly resolutions invented on your behalf, ironically to do the same, to distract us from our winter blues, distracting us instead away from those natural rhythms that urge us to reset ourselves, to slow down, take time to reflect, to be with ourselves, to nourish us for the winter months ahead.

So as difficult as you can be dear January, with your inevitable bills, chills and darkness you always bring. May this note serve as a reminder to us that winter is a time for taking stock, replenishing ourselves within and without, letting go of comparison, letting go of all those things we tell ourselves we need to fix, hibernating just enough to dwell within those quiet places deep inside to heal, and renew, mirroring our beautifully wintry world outside.
