I went out for a run this morning.

Head busy. body tired. still went.

And I’m reminded every time.... the body and mind aren’t separate. When we move, we regulate. We release stress. We shift energy that’s been sitting there too long.

Sometimes the most therapeutic thing you can do isn’t think more....It’s move ❤️

Valentine’s day isn’t just about romantic love 💛

It’s also about the relationship you have with yourself.
The way you speak to yourself when you make a mistake, the boundaries you’re learning to hold,
the rest you allow without guilt.

Self-love isn’t just bubble baths.
it’s choosing not to abandon yourself.

Be gentle with you...
that relationship lasts a lifetime.
- Michaela 💛

Do you ever find yourself watching p**n more often than you’d like, or feeling out of control around s*x? you’re not alone in that.

Drawing on training from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS), my work supports people who want to better understand and manage compulsive or out-of-control s*xual behaviours.

I have a small number of low-cost therapy spaces available, both online and in-person in balbriggan, dublin.

If this sounds like something that could help, you can join the waiting list:

My ADHD brain has bursts of focus that feel unstoppable... and then hits a wall.

It craves novelty and stimulation, which means I can throw myself into a project, hobby, or idea with full energy… only to switch to the next one just as quickly. It’s thrilling, sometimes messy, and always part of how I experience the world.

Learning to ride this rollercoaster, rather than fight it - has been everything 💛

Blue Monday 🟦
You might hear today called “the most depressing day of the year.”

👉 Blue Monday isn’t evidence-based.
It was created as a PR campaign, not from psychological research.
That doesn’t mean people aren’t struggling.
January can be hard ...darker days, money stress, pressure to “start fresh”.
But distress doesn’t follow a calendar.
If today feels heavy, that’s valid.
If it doesn’t, that’s valid too ❤️

Sometimes life just feels like a lot.

Not a crisis. not a breakdown.

Just… heavy, overwhelming, or hard to put into words.

Therapy can be a space to slow things down and talk it through. without judgement or pressure to have answers.

In-person and online in balbriggan.

Christmas Day at Balbriggan Beach ❤️

Cold air. Open space. A pause.

Being near the sea can help everything slow down.... the breath, the thoughts, the pace of the day.

For many people, this time of year can feel full or heavy in ways that aren’t always visible. Getting out can make a difference.

No pressure to do more.

Just allowing the moment to be enough 🤍

As the year wraps up, remember you don’t have to be “new” next year. Notice the parts of you that got you here. tired, hopeful, little you and give them kindness ❤️ Your inner child and all your past selves deserve to hear: i see you. you did your best

Let the lights remind you of how far you’ve come 🎄

December is my favourite time of year, even if it doesn’t exactly slow down. There’s just something about it that makes me look back on the year, what changed, what was hard, and what I’m proud of.

If this season brings up a lot, be gentle with yourself ❤️
