making sure children, caregivers and other professionals learn how to handle big feelings.

Here’s what lights me up: helping a child to work through their feelings in a way that feels non-confrontational while providing them with the space to practice new skills. If you are a professional I offer many CPD accredited courses on: trauma, working with children, child abuse and self-development so feel free to contact me so we can see how I can help you serve those you work with better!

I saw this post on someone’s stories the other day.
It said, “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back home.” 🚂

At first, I scrolled past it.
Then I went back.
Because something about it hit harder than I expected.

Sometimes the “wrong train” feels comfortable. It’s moving, it’s familiar, and it gives the illusion of progress. You tell yourself it’s fine, that maybe it will turn around or somehow lead you somewhere close to where you wanted to go. Or maybe the person you’re travelling with will be okay for now, not first choice but okay…

But deep down, you know.
You know this isn’t your stop, or your route, or your train.

Leaving isn’t easy.
It means paying the price in time, energy, sometimes even pride to get back. But the longer you stay, the more it costs.

So, if something in your life feels like the wrong train, a job, a relationship, a way of living that no longer fits, know this:
You’re allowed to get off.
You’re allowed to turn around.
You’re allowed to find your way home again.

It might take longer than you hoped. It might be uncomfortable. But it will be worth it. Because getting to where you wanna be, being on the right train, with the right travel companions, that’s where the magic happens. Be kind to yourself 💛

It’s the end of the week and suddenly it feels like “what did I do this week?” Because your inbox is full, your calendar is booked and you feel out of control to try to get it ALL done today🌪️

Take a deep breath. . . .
Realise that there is lots you cannot control! Life happens and people do silly things and that’s not something you can anticipate. You can control how you manage it though! 🙌🏼

You can control:
✨ Your social media intake. Doesn’t help feeling overwhelmed by how much you have to do and then you sit and scroll. Watching someone organise their kitchen or plan their work week is not going to make you feel better about the dishes in your sink.
✨ Your boundaries. You decide what you let into your space; physically, socially and mentally. You control it ☝🏼
✨ The way you talk to yourself. You can speak kindness or disappointment. You’re in your head all day everyday, might as well make it a safe space 🏡
✨ How much you sleep. Waking up tired is already putting yourself on the back foot. So get to bed. Switch off your phone. Close your eyes. 💤
✨ The expectations you create for yourself. You can set a to-do list of seven things or just three. It doesn’t need to be an all or nothing day. Just like you can reply to the oldest email so it’s off your plate or every email in your inbox. Be realistic with your expectations. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Be kind to yourself 💛

You control what you can. Let the rest brush past you, move with you and settle where it needs to.

You spend a lot of time inside your head. You spend your entire life hearing yourself. The words you speak become the house you live in 🏡 so speak with kindness and be kind to yourself 💛

It feels everlasting, especially when’s it happening.

I was reminded of this, this morning.

When you’re “in it” it’s like it’ll never end, never change, never move or never grow. That’s where you need patience and persistence.

Patience with yourself. To understand that maybe you need to master a new skill, meet the right person or have the right door opened. Patience that something will change☀️

Persistence to continue. Persistence to try again. Or to try something different! Or to just wake up when it’s really hard. 🙌🏼

Where there’s patience and persistence, there’s growth. There’s growth in your understanding of your strength. There’s growth in your character. There’s growth in the area you were struggling. There’s growth. You’re going to move on, move up and move through. ✨

It feels everlasting, especially when’s it happening. But once it’s over, things will change and move and you’ll grow. 🌱

It’s Monday, and your brain is already racing ahead…planning for the worst, preparing for everything that might fall apart before the week has even started.

Sometimes we spend so much time preparing for what might go wrong that we forget to imagine what might go right.

What if the work you’ve been doing quietly behind the scenes begins to show in ways you didn’t expect?
What if the late nights, the small steps, the showing up when it felt too heavy start to add up to something that feels light again?
What if things fall into place, not because you forced them to, but because you were ready for them to?
What if the doors open gently, one after another, at exactly the moment you need them to?
What if the outcome turns out even better than the one you were holding onto so tightly?

You’ve worked hard for this season.
You’ve done the quiet, unseen things that matter.
Maybe the next step isn’t about trying harder.
Maybe it’s about allowing things to go right.
what if you also pause to notice what did happen this year?
The quiet progress.
The lessons that softened you.
The small wins that didn’t look like wins at first.

Maybe this Monday isn’t asking you to brace yourself.
Maybe it’s asking you to believe that things might, in fact, go right.

It’s never what we thought it would be. It’s never as easy as expected but you’ve already grown so much! You’ve tackled all your hard days. You’ve managed to make big changes before!

So if you want to make a change then here’s the sign you were looking for! 💛

30/10/2025

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much pressure we put on ourselves to “think differently” or “stay positive.”
But sometimes, what we really need isn’t a total mindset shift…it’s a small reset.

These “reset prompts” aren’t meant to change your thoughts. They’re gentle nudges to notice them, to soften them a little.
When I catch myself spiralling or overthinking, I try to come back to one of these simple lines:
Remember to rest.
Trust things will work out.
Focus on what could go right.

They don’t erase the hard stuff, but they help me hold it with a bit more kindness.

Maybe you don’t need to turn everything around today.
Maybe you just need one soft reminder that it’s okay to pause, breathe, and begin again. Be kind to yourself 💛

Emotions make us human, so feel every single one.

There’s no shame in how you’re feeling

We are all so quick to push our feelings to the side for a time that is more convenient. We are so quick to think “it’s not appropriate” or “I’m crazy for feeling this way.” To be scared to feel because then it may mean we lose our cool or lose someone or be vulnerable. Your feelings are valid. Your feelings are real. You are human.

Emotions make us human. So feel every single one. Be kind to yourself 💛

28/10/2025

Every single person is going through something. Every single person has a challenge they are experiencing. We don’t always know what is going on behind the scenes. So treat one another with curiosity and compassion.

Be kind to yourself 💛

I feel as though there is just constantly something to do, someone to see and something to plan for. It’s exciting but it’s also meant that certain things are slipping down the list. 📝

I’ve prioritised answering emails for sitting down with loved ones. I’ve moved my calendar around to accommodate new clients and cancelled self-care appointments to make space. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I’ve woken up earlier and gone to bed later, greeted by a phone screen before l’ve even greeted the day. ☀️

Yesterday I came across someone suggesting that instead of saying “I’m too busy” replace it with “it’s not a priority” and see how your perspective changes 🙃

So while I said yesterday “it’s a Sunday but I can’t rest I have too much work”. I said, “it’s a Sunday and resting is not a priority.” 😵‍💫 It suddenly didn’t sound right and so I switched and decided that the emails and the lists are not more of a priority then me resting and recharging. The priority is filling my tank. 🚗

I’m aware my body is tired, I feel my mind needing to switch off and even as I’m writing this the messages are coming through on my phone which require responses. BUT I’m conscious that if I didn’t take yesterday off, well then next weekend it’s going to take more than one day off to get myself right. 💛

In the therapeutic space, we are the most important tool. We are the ones that hold the space. If we’re not functioning at our best then we aren’t doing our best for our clients. We don’t have to give 100% all the time. It’s okay to rest, it’s okay to take time off. It’s okay to step back. Do whatever you need to do today or this week to fill your tank. You need to be able to fill your tank so that you’re not running on empty. 🚕

This week you are going to do brave things, start new projects and you’re going to tackle something you have wanted to do for a while! Don’t let yourself run on empty while you’re doing it.

Don’t prioritise emails over loved one or move your calendar around, cancelling self-care appointments to make space for more work. Take a break when you need it! You’re the tool. Be kind to yourself 💛

I am currently dealing with a client who is just all in their feelings. Completely controlled by them. It’s like they cannot separate their feelings from one another. They get upset about one thing and the next minute they’ve jumped onto a whole new subject and more feelings are added to the pile 📚

Having a conversation with them seems to go in circles and the next time I see them they are right back on the same train of thought 🚂

So often, we can get caught up in the same thing. We overslept our alarm, the dog jumped on the bed with muddy feet and then when we hit traffic, and suddenly we find ourselves in tears behind the steering wheel 🚘

It’s all just too much…

We have to take a moment to find the root cause of the feeling. Yes you’re feeling frustrated but what caused it? It wasn’t the traffic or the late alarm clock- it was the argument you had the night before where you felt like no one was listening. ⛈️

You’re not angry at your dog 🐶 You’re disappointed that your friend cancelled, yet again, and now you’re all alone on a Friday night. 🚶🏻‍♀️ ✨

If you get stuck in your head with all the feelings, you’re going to find yourself having the same arguments, the same results, the same feelings over and over. You have to find a way to get to the root of the problem 🌱 often times that means finding a professional to help you recognize your thought pattern and to help you change it.

You can’t be responsible for changing the way you think 💭 you’ve been doing it this way for years. You need to get someone on your side who can help you 💁🏻‍♀️

Sometimes we needs days where we are feeling everything all at once. But it gets exhausting 🤯

So we have to make the change to separate the feelings.
🌪️To change things up.
🪴To try not doing things the way we always have.
🙇🏻‍♀️To create a new way of thinking.
🚦That way the feelings don’t control you. You control your feelings. 🚦
♥️How you feel them.
🤷🏻‍♀️What you do with them.
🤝Who you share them with and how.

You need to feel things BUT you can choose how. You don’t need to be all up in your feelings alone. You can ask for help 🙋🏻‍♀️ be kind while you figure it out 💛
