One of the (many!) reasons I love counselling is this:
it makes space for complexity 🧠

So often, people arrive carrying so many feelings at once - relief and grief, love and resentment, gratitude and exhaustion - and they’re trying to sort through it all by telling themselves
what they *should* feel.

Counselling gives time to slow things down.
Sometimes nothing needs to be fixed or reframed and sometimes what brings the most clarity is simply being able to say, “This is actually really hard,” and have that acknowledged.

There can be real healing in being able to see a situation for what it is - without minimising it, judging it or rushing to make it feel better.

I just love the depth of people and I’m so grateful that this is the work I get to do ✨

There’s a common misconception that people only come to counselling when something has gone “wrong” or when they’re in crisis 🚨
In reality, many people come during moments of change -
a new chapter, a shift in relationships, becoming a parent, moving countries or simply feeling unsure of their next step.

Others come because they want a neutral space, somewhere outside of friends and family, looking for a space to speak freely, reflect honestly and understand themselves more deeply.

For many people, counselling isn’t about fixing a problem at all.
It’s about noticing patterns, making sense of experiences and understanding why certain things feel the way they do, and how that affects our relationships, our work and how we feel in ourselves 🫶🏼

Five quotes I return to again and again in therapy sessions 🤍

Especially during periods of transition - becoming a caregiver, adjusting to new roles or navigating life after a major change - these reminders help slow things down and soften self-judgement.

You can be growing and struggling.
You can need support without being broken.
Your feelings are signals, not failures.

If any of these resonated, consider saving this post for a harder day, or sharing it with someone who might need the reminder.
✨ Support is allowed, care is deserved and you absolutely don’t have to do this alone.

Are you expecting a baby in 2026?
I invite you to join our Calm Hong Kong Essential Birth Breathing course 😮‍💨

This focused 2-hour class teaches three powerful breathing techniques to support you through every stage of labour and become lifelong tools you can return to well beyond birth.

While breathing is instinctive, birth breathing is intentional. These techniques help you stay grounded, connected to your body, and supported through intensity. Like training for a marathon, they work best with understanding, practice, and purpose.

A little more about The Big Birth Debrief 🤍

So many of you have been asking beautiful questions about this gathering and I wanted to share a little more about the heart behind it.
This is a private, intimate space for women to come together and gently process their birth experiences - whatever they look like. Whether you’re currently pregnant, preparing for another baby, or reflecting on a birth from years ago, you are so welcome here.

It will be a small, private circle of women, gently holding space for one another. You’ll never be put on the spot and you’re invited to share as much or as little as feels right for you. This isn’t about retelling every detail - it’s about being witnessed, releasing what you’re ready to let go of and feeling supported as we move toward a new year.

Birth stories stay in our bodies and our hearts in ways we don’t always realise, I’m so looking forward to holding this space with you alongside .and.co 🤍

If you have questions, keep them coming - my inbox is always open. Link in bio to book a spot 🎟️

Allow yourself to feel & be both 🫶🏼✨

• Caring for yourself isn’t a luxury - it’s absolutely essential. I remind my clients of this daily and I do my best to walk the walk.

• We are our own harshest critics. Self-compassion might just be the most underrated life skill we have.

• I can hold space for clients, remember the tiniest details of their stories… and still forget why I walked into a room 🤣

• So many mothers believe they’re the only ones struggling or “not doing enough.” Spoiler: they are doing so much more than they realise.

• There is such a monumental shift when couples realise it’s us against the problem, not us against each other 💕

Fellow counsellors (HK or anywhere!) what have been your big takeaways so far this year?

Birth debriefs are powerful.

Sometimes all it takes is one safe conversation to shift years of guilt or trauma into clarity and compassion.

So grateful to support this mama as she processed her unexpected C-section and found peace in her story 💕

No matter how your birth unfolded, you deserve understanding, validation and a place to breathe again.

I have only a few 2025 birth-debrief slots left, but The BIG Birth Debrief in collaboration with .and.co is happening on the 17th January 2026 - a beautiful opportunity to debrief (as much or as little as you’d like) in community with other mamas 🌸

We need more parents communicating ✨

Partners, what most amazes you about your partner who has given birth? Have you paused to consider this? If not, will you?

Partners who have given birth, do you feel like you need to hear these? It doesn’t make you needy and it’s ok to ask to hear these things. You may also want to practice saying these things to yourself!

What is one thing you heard or wanted to hear post birth?

29/10/2025

Excited does not express enough how I’m feeling about this event in partnership with .and.co - it’s going to be magic ✨ incredible feminine, raw, beautiful, magic!

We know it’s still a little bit away but we also know you’re busy mamas with busy schedules and planning this in for yourself for the near future will be a wonderful gift to wrap up 2025!

The BIG Birth Debrief is an invitation to make telling your story, more accessible, more intentional and more supported 💛
It’s a space to pause, breathe and honour you - your strength, your story, your becoming. Whether your birth was everything you hoped for or completely unexpected, this morning is about finding meaning, healing and connection through shared experience.

We would be honoured for you to join us for a gentle, heart-led morning of reflection, sharing and community 🌿

There are limited spots (just 20 mamas!) with a few tickets already gone, so please do not miss out if you think this might be for you!

Labour can be intense and your energy directly affects her body ⚡️

When you’re anxious → she produces adrenaline, which slows labour.
When you’re calm → she produces oxytocin, which helps labour progress.

The partners who truly support? They’re grounded. They breathe slowly. They create a bubble of calm instead of adding to the chaos.

BIRTH PARTNER BASICS 😮‍💨
1. Panic is Contagious
If you’re anxious, she’s feeling it.
Stress = adrenaline. Adrenaline cancels oxytocin.

So, what to do? Stay calm. Breathe slower than her.
😌 Your calm = her calm.

2. Don’t Ask Endless Questions
“Are you okay?” “Do you want this?” “Should I…?”
Every question pulls her out of her rhythm.

So, what to do? Observe. Offer when necessary. Support quietly.
🤫 Silence is usually golden.

3. Stop Trying to ‘Solve’ Everything
“Try this position.” “What about that one?” “Should I get the midwife?”
You’re not there to manage her labour - she knows what she needs.

So, what to do? Hold your question unless it’s absolutely necessary.
⚓️ Be her anchor, not her coach.

4. Ditch the Stopwatch
Timing obsessively creates pressure.
Birth isn’t a competition with the clock.

So, what to do? Simply, trust the process.
🛡️ Be her shield not her stress.

Save this and share it with your birth partner - it might just change their approach entirely.

Birth partners, what was the best advice you received for staying calm and supportive during labour? ⬇️

The newborn stage is full of magic but it can also test your relationship in ways you didn’t expect.

You’re both running on little sleep.
You’re both giving it your all.
And some days, it feels like you’re speaking completely different languages.

I often hear things like:
💬 “I just want to feel like we’re in this together.”
💬 “We’re doing everything for the baby…but nothing for us.”
💬 “I don’t know who I am, or who we are anymore”

You likely don’t need long date nights or 2 a.m. heart-to-hearts to reconnect. Sometimes, all it takes is a small pause.

These 5 simple questions are an easy, doable way to check in with each other - even in the chaos of postpartum life.

Think you might want to take your reconnection a little further? Reach out, I’d love to help 🫶🏼
