ℍ𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕤 𝔻𝕒𝕪 🙌✨️

I can't express how blessed I feel to be surrounded by such amazing women 🥰 I don't take that for granted.

This years theme is 'Give to Gain', which isn't monetary!

Giving your time ⏰️
Giving a compliment 💖
Giving your expertise 🌱
Giving support 👏

What do we gain? Knowing that other women feel connected, supported, and seen ✨️

Life is tough enough. Being kind to each other costs nothing, but it makes a huge difference because we never know what others are going through 💕

Today I also want to take a moment to show appreciation for The Warrioress Tribe (private support group for women in midlife) navigating midlife is challenging but these women show up for each other which I am so proud of 🙌

I hope you have a chance to celebrate the women around you today ✨️

I never want my clients to feel rushed but instead have the time and space to explore without watching the clock ⏰️

Introducing the 80 minute session, an additional half an hour to either continue talking or some time to gently ground before heading back into life.

Sometimes 50 minutes just doesn't feel enough when you have a lot on your mind 😕

It's available to new and existing clients for whenever they need that little extra.

My first full week at 🥰 I honestly can't express how grateful I feel to be amongst such warm and caring people.

Working independently for 14 years I never realised how much I missed being around other people! Yes I meet with my amazing clients but it's the in-between bits that I now realise was missing!

Honestly this is such a special place and the feedback I have not only about the counselling space but also the building and staff is just amazing 🥰

It feels like home and I feel extremely blessed to be here with an amazing bunch of people 🙏

Wishing you a rested weekend ✨️

When you hold space for others, the space that you hold for yourself is vital 🙌

Who holds that space for you makes the biggest difference. It's who does this for me and is the absolute best.

Deb meets you where you are. She checks in to see what you truly need 💗

There's no judgement, just kindness, and gentle encouraging 😊

I always feel better for being in Debs energy ✨️ BUT what most of my clients may not realise is that I'm a better equipped counsellor for making time for myself 😘

Getting out of your head and into your body is something that I don't just do for myself, but I also encourage my clients to do 😊

We can be so caught up in our minds that we forget the impact of carrying that mental weight on our body! Take time to make space for yourself in whatever works for you

🌳 a walk in nature
🧘‍♀️ meditation
🌊 walking/sitting near water
💪 stretching/movement

It all counts 🥰 xx

𝕎𝕖'𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕟 🙌✨️

And just like that I've moved the entire therapy room (when I say I, I actually mean Gav moved the large proportion 😂)

I cannot express the relief to be there and for everything to have gone so smoothly 🙌

The room feels so cosy and just a beautiful energy ✨️ and I cannot thank the team for helping me every step of the way 🥰

A special thanks to my new neighbour for her generosity and kindness in helping make this a reality ✨️

And a HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU to my husband for being the absolute best, my biggest supporter and pretty good at lifting furniture and boxes as it happens 😘😂😂

I can't wait to get started and welcome my first clients in on Monday, it's going to feel pretty special 🥰✨️

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕕𝕒𝕪 🤔

I'm not really sure how I feel about today, if I'm honest I haven't sat with it too much!

I'm sad to be moving from this amazing community that has been my home for the past 19 years (longest I've lived and worked anywhere) BUT I'm excited to start a completely new adventure 🙌

I'm blessed that all my clients are continuing to work with me so it doesn't feel like an ending it feels like I'm taking them on this adventure with me ✨️

We're going to have more space, other therapies that they can tap into 🙌 a coffee shop, space to chill and process after their session 🥰 and the all important toilet 😂 we have 3 😂

Stay tuned over the next few weeks as I share me settling into my new surroundings, I'll even share my lunch ideas 😂

A new year doesn’t have to start with pressure or big moves — especially when we’re still in the depths of winter.

This season isn’t about doing more; it’s about preparing wisely.

❄️%.Winter is where intentions are clarified, goals are refined, and the groundwork is laid.

🌱Spring is where action naturally follows. Right now, your job is simply to reflect, plan, and align — without forcing momentum before it’s ready.

💡 Use this time to:
• Get clear on what matters most
• Decide what you want to grow this year
• Build a plan that feels supportive, not exhausting

When the energy of spring arrives, you’ll be ready — grounded, focused, and confident. Progress begins long before action ever does. 🌱✨

If you would like help, support and guidance to get clear on your goals and intentions then please reach out ✨️ let's make 2026 a calming space where we can thrive and flourish rather than the usual rush to exhaustion 🙌

𝕁𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘!! 𝕊𝕙𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕣 𝕀'𝕞 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕒 𝕗𝕒𝕟 𝔹𝕌𝕋 .....

OK, hear me out!!! I buy the journal, I have every intention to sit and journal everyday!

I start strong, I have numerous notebooks of all different colours with inspiring writing on the front and I can guarantee by the second week of January my good intentions go out of the window!

If this sounds a little like you then please read on and hopefully we can go from a different angle this year 😘😂

I've decided that I need a monthly prompt and a monthly reflection and that's what I'm going to post each month. A prompt to start your month and then another at the end of the month to reflect on how you're doing 🥰

⏳️It's not time consuming!
🤔 It gives you a level of direction for your month ahead.
💭 It can bring some thoughts or feelings into awareness
➡️ It can bring some direction in areas that you want to focus on.

Here is January's- an important one to remind ourselves to step gently and mindfully into this New Year, what can help you feel safe and supported?

A nice one to sit with and ponder over a cuppa and perhaps jot down your thoughts. If you'd like to share then please do, you're welcome to drop me a message to if you'd like to 🥰✨️

Let's hope I can keep this going 🙏 getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper can be extremely beneficial ✍️

Wishing you an amazing year ahead and I hope that 2026 is kind to us all ✨️❤️

ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕦𝕤𝕦𝕒𝕝 ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕤 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕥 🫣💔

Today can be a struggle for some.

Leaving a year where you have experienced great loss can feel overwhelming. The thought of leaving them behind can feel like you are moving on and moving away from the person you have lost 😔

Seeing others celebrate while you still struggle to process how much your life has changed or is changing.

There is no reason to celebrate and only wanting to hide from the good wishes and the New Year New Me posts.

Wishing and hoping that things could be different 😢

I'm here to remind you that it's OK not to celebrate.

It's OK to want to stay exactly where you are, BUT please remember that YOU MATTER and as tough as things will feel right now, with the right support days ahead will feel a little easier 🙏

I see you, and I'm sending so much strength and love to you ❤️ please be gentle with yourself as you navigate the next few days and weeks.

ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕠𝕟 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕖𝕗 𝕠𝕗 𝕛𝕠𝕪 😢✨️

It’s easy to feel like you’re “doing Christmas wrong” when your feed is full of perfect moments, but comparison can quietly fuel anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt 😔

What we see online is curated 🎁

What we live through is complex 🫣

If you’re feeling behind, disconnected, overstimulated, or emotionally drained, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. This season brings pressure, expectations, and old emotions to the surface for many people.

You don’t owe anyone a performance.

You don’t need a perfect photo to be worthy of rest or joy.

Step back if you need to, your mental health matters, YOU MATTER 🙌✨️

𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕖 𝕨𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕚𝕟 𝕞𝕚𝕕-𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖?? 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕪 ....

You’re not imagining it — midlife can feel like a perfect storm:
stress is higher, sleep is harder, and your body isn’t responding the way it used to. 💥

Here’s why 👇

💭 1. Stress hormones change your body chemistry
When cortisol (the stress hormone) stays high, your body holds onto fat — especially around your middle.
It also increases cravings for quick energy: sugar, carbs, caffeine, wine.
This isn’t a lack of willpower — it’s your biology trying to cope.

😴 2. Poor sleep throws off hunger & fullness signals
Less sleep = more ghrelin (hunger hormone) + less leptin (satiety hormone).
That means you feel hungrier, crave more, and struggle to feel full.

🔥 3. The cycle feeds itself
Stress keeps you up.
Lack of sleep raises stress.
Both push your body toward fat storage and exhaustion.

💚 4. The solution isn’t just diet — it’s nervous system care.
Try this instead of another “fix-it” plan:

🌙 Prioritize wind-down time — dim lights, no screens 30 mins before bed.

🧘‍♀️ Practice daily stress resets — breathing, journaling, walks, yoga.

💪 Move for energy, not punishment.

🥦 Nourish yourself — balanced meals stabilize blood sugar and mood.

✨ Your body isn’t betraying you — it’s protecting you.
Lower your stress, honour your rest, and your metabolism will follow. ❤️

Here's how you maybe able to help? Leave the judgement, they don't need it and if anything it could potentially make them shut down and distance themselves.

Instead be there, as hard as it may be, you could be the only shining light that they see ✨

Check in, ask them how they are doing and listen.

Life is hard enough, kindness and compassion will help.
