How’s your day going ? I was on a walk today and thinking about the post a few weeks ago around Grief and those fried egg moments . I decided to write about it a bit more in a blog . Link below . I hope your day brings whatever you need ❤️

Death and dying is a topic that most people will shy away from as its scary, sad and very final. Because it is a taboo subject when it does happen to us we don’t know how to react or feel and clients often tell me how they SHOULD feel and react. But is there a right way to manage death and grieve?...

The trees are showing us it’s time to let go . They do it every year as they are attuned to their growth and development. Knowing that they can have a rest in the winter and be recharged for Spring.

Letting go of things we are holding onto that are making us unhappy can be tricky as sometimes we aren’t even sure what it is it where it’s come from .

Counselling can help you work through these winter moments to find your Spring again 🌷❤️

⛅️ I love clouds and they really remind me of my childhood. Reminding me the most of a day when I lost someone very close to me .
🍳 When I saw this cloud I had a big fried egg moment- what’s fried egg moment you might be thinking . It’s when your memories and love for that person (your yolk) overtakes you and your white (being your everyday life ).
You remember them ,emotions come and then it passes and your yolk goes back to the normal size and you go about your day.
Grief is something that we all move through in our own way and 42 years on the fried egg moments still come and I love it when they do ❤️

Today is Mindfulness Day and I’m wondering if you can find 5 mins to sit, rest and breathe ? Maybe I should stop scrolling put my phone down and pause too ❤️

September is a month of change for me and lots if you in many different ways . With children starting new adventures and flying the nest to uni this leaves me feeling wow it’s really happening . I feel like I need the feathers to be there a little longer . Are you feeling the same ?

September brings change for children, parents and families — from school transitions to empty nests. A therapist’s perspective on coping with change.

Back to school season 🎒✏️

Whether it’s you heading back into the classroom or waving your little one off at the gates, transitions can feel big — for children and for us parents.

Letting go of their hand on that first day, sending them back after six weeks of summer without much routine… it can stir up nerves and anxiety for everyone. I felt it myself walking back into school today — a little wobbly, but also ready to find my routine again.

For some, those school gates can feel overwhelming. 💭 What helps?
✨ Listen to how they’re feeling
✨ Chat about their day
✨ Reintroduce gentle routines
✨ Remind them they’re not alone in feeling this way
✨ Share your own feelings too — sometimes we need to hear “me too”

Be proud of each other and take it one day at a time ❤️
