Who am I beyond a therapist? ✨️

A question often asked!

I am a wife and a mum. Both very precious roles ❤️

I am someone who finds deep joy in nature walks and animals, endlessly inspired by David Attenborough. I once wrote to him—and he replied. A moment I’ll always treasure 🌍

I love adventure and living by feel the fear and do it anyway. Paragliding over Menorca reminded me we have one life, meant to be rich with experience—even an emergency landing couldn’t change that.

Spirituality is part of my self-care. I lean into Buddhist principles, visiting meditation centres to slow down, reflect, and connect—both with myself and with others. I value meaningful conversations and meeting people along the way.

I learnt to crochet two years ago—beautifully mindful—and I love creating gifts for loved ones and charities.

Volunteering matters deeply to me, from military and blue light charities to presence on police interview panels. Community spirit matters.

Valued feedback I recieve as a therapist

Valued feedback I receive is when the therapeutic dynamic shines through—whether in my university training tapes or in the therapy room itself. This feels so meaningful to me and it is recieved with gratitude 🙏

But why is this so important? 🌟
It is important because research and practice consistently show that outcomes are deeply influenced by the quality of the therapeutic relationship, this feedback means everything to me. It reflects attunement, trust, safety, and genuine human connection—things that cannot be scripted or forced.

I value the human connection at the heart of therapy. Technique matters, training matters, but the way two people meet each other in the room matters deeply.

I am truly grateful when that relational presence is seen and felt. It reminds me why I do this work and reinforces my commitment to showing up with care, integrity, and respect.

Human to human.
Connection matters. ❤️

✨ What I Look Past as a Therapist ✨

As a therapist, I first acknowledge the behaviour at a surface level—I see it, note it, and don’t judge it.

Then I look past the surface to what’s underneath:
What function does this behaviour serve?
What impact is it having on life and relationships?
Where did it come from? When did it start?
What beliefs drive it?
What might life look like if this behaviour changed?

Behaviours can take many forms—gambling, substance use, sexual relationships, relationship patterns, binge eating, or excessive spending. Understanding the “why” behind them is how real growth happens. 🌱

🚧 Barriers to Success I’ve Noticed as a Therapist 🚧

Through my work with clients, I’ve noticed a few common barriers that can make growth feel harder:
*Fear of change – It’s scary to step out of old patterns, even when you know they don’t serve you.
*Lack of self-awareness – Understanding your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours is the first step to meaningful change.
*Impatience – Real progress takes time, and expecting quick fixes can lead to frustration.
*Avoiding difficult emotions – Growth often comes from facing uncomfortable feelings, not avoiding them.
*Not practicing outside of therapy – Reflection and small actions between sessions are key to lasting results.

Recognising these barriers is the first step toward overcoming them. Growth isn’t linear, but every effort counts. 🌱

✨ How to Get the Most Out of Therapy. A Therapists thoughts ✨

Therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process. Here are a few thoughts from me as a therapist:
• Be honest with yourself and your therapist – The more open you are, the deeper the work can go.
• Set clear goals – Even small goals help track progress and give direction.
• Be patient – Change takes time. Celebrate small wins along the way.
• Do the work outside sessions – Reflection, journaling, or practicing new skills can make a big difference.
• Speak up if something isn’t working – Therapy should feel safe, not uncomfortable or stagnant.

Remember: therapy isn’t just a session—it’s a journey, and you’re the most important part of it. 💙

As a Therapist, what I need police officers to know right now

Busting barriers to support 🚔🧠

1️⃣ “I’ve seen too much to unpack it all.”
You don’t need to process hundreds or thousands of incidents one by one. In therapy, we work with underlying themes and patterns. Exploring a small number of key experiences allows wider processing by generalisation.
➡️ You are not broken, and you can be supported to feel better.

2️⃣ Protected information = no problem.
You don’t need to disclose sensitive or operational details. You can use a code name for an incident or operation. Trauma can still be processed just as effectively with EMDR, even with minimal or no disclosure.

3️⃣ Challenging the myth of weakness.
You are not weak. You are human, operating in high-risk environments where emotional suppression and “cracking on” are often necessary.
That combination is a known predisposing factor for PTSD. Around 1 in 3 officers will develop PTSD.
➡️ Symptoms are not a reflection of who you are—and you are not alone.

4️⃣ We are not here to judge you.
Therapy is not about questioning your decisions or morals. We understand threat, adrenaline, survival responses, and the realities of operational policing.
Our role is to offer a safe, non-judgemental space focused on support, understanding, and recovery.

5️⃣ You don’t have to hold back the horror.
It’s not your job in therapy to protect us. That instinct comes from a caring part of you—but here, you can bring it all. Fatalities. The images. The sounds. The smells. The moments that stay.
We can go to those depths. We are trained, equipped, and experienced to work with the full sensory impact of trauma.

6️⃣ There is hope—and help is available.
Support is available free of charge. Some officers approach us directly (and we offer a Blue Light discount), but we always ensure you know about your access to confidential private mental health care via Police Care UK, including CBT and EMDR.

I hope sharing this helps at least one person access support.
That is my intention with this post.
We care. 💙

As a therapist, I pay close attention to the subtle cues my clients give—because so much of what matters isn’t always said.

I notice:
✨ Body reactions – tearing up, muscle tension, posture shifts, fidgeting
✨ Vocal changes – shifts in tone, pace, volume, or pauses
✨ Emotional shifts – facial expressions, energy, mood changes
✨ Engagement cues – eye contact, leaning in or pulling back

Sometimes I gently bring awareness to these moments:
💬 “I noticed your posture changed just now. What did you notice internally at that moment?”
💬 “Your voice shifted there—what was happening for you as you said that?”

These micro-moments are powerful. They help clients tune into their inner experience, opening the door to self-awareness and healing.

04/01/2026

One thing I will never stop advocating for as a therapist:

All emotions are valid and deserve attention. 💛

Every feeling you experience—anger, sadness, fear, shame, joy—is a natural part of being human. Emotions are signals, not signs of weakness. They tell us something important about our needs, boundaries, and experiences.

Too often, we can push away difficult emotions or hide them, understandably in those moments. But avoiding them doesn’t make them disappear—it can make them louder, heavier, and harder to process. By noticing, naming, and sitting with our emotions, we create space for understanding and growth.

💬 Next time you feel something uncomfortable, pause and ask yourself:
“What is this feeling trying to tell me?”
