I don’t know about you, but I have definitely stayed on some trains far longer than I should have.

And the truth is… if you’d asked me at the time whether I was making the right choice by staying, I would have had to admit that deep down, I already knew I should have stepped off.

Sometimes we stay because we can’t be absolutely sure getting off is the right decisions. We want to give it more time, more opportunities, more solutions. We stay for hope, for longing, because we feel stuck, because we can’t see a way off. We can even stay because we’ve invested so much and leaving feels like failure and defeat. The list goes on and on….

The “wrong train” is rarely dramatic at first. It’s subtle. Rationalised. Explained away. We tell ourselves to give it time. To try harder. To be patient. To endure.

But the longer we stay somewhere misaligned, the more it costs us in energy, in confidence, in peace, well being. We pay for it in the health of our mind, body and spirit.

So here’s the truth:
Getting off early is never failure.
Changing direction is not weakness.
Choosing yourself is not selfish.

It is wisdom.

You are allowed to step off.
You are allowed to reroute.
You are allowed to say, “This isn’t for me.”
You are allowed to change your mind.

Your life is precious.
Your energy is sacred.
And you are the only one holding the ticket.

So if you get on the wrong train, be sure to get off at the first stop. It’s hugely inconvenient but it’s easier in the long run.

With love,

Not all counsellors are created equal – and choosing the right one matters more than you think.

The right counsellor will not only have the right qualifications, but will also create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. Therapy should feel collaborative, ethical, and grounded in respect – not rushed, pressured, or one-sided.

If you are considering counselling, save this checklist and use it as a guide. You deserve support that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your needs. 💓

Good explanation of how counselling can support people.

02/02/2026

I’m truly honoured that so many people are reaching out, and it’s a privilege to support people on their journey toward a happier, healthier life.

With that in mind, I want to share that I currently have no availability for new clients at this time. However, my care for your wellbeing doesn’t stop because I am fully booked. So if it feels ok to wait, I’m offering a waiting list but if your situation feels more urgent, I’m also very happy to provide referrals to other trusted counsellors or coaches if that feels more helpful at this time.

Thank you for your understanding

I'm running another Clay by Candlelight session in St Ives on 15th January. Here's what one participant had to say about our last session, "I really enjoyed the clay by candlelight evening with Claire. It was a very relaxing experience, I left feeling very chilled."

Ever gotten angry or scared and had no idea why you reacted that way? You’re not alone — there’s actually a lot happening behind the scenes in your brain when emotions take over.

Curious if counselling is just talking? Here's a quick insight into what else counselling can offer beyond conversation.

The Common Misconception:Counselling is just talking right? No, its much more than that. There is a bit of a myth out there that counselling is just talking. You may have heard people say you just talk about problems — it's just a casual conversation or "venting." This is oversimplifying what ther...
