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!

This time of year moves fast. You keep going, you handle what needs your attention, and you get through your days on autopilot. It helps to pause for a short check in before you switch off.

You look back at what you did, but you also look at how you felt while doing it. You look at the choices you made and the energy you carried. This gives you direction for the next day, even during the end of year rush.

Small daily pauses help you protect your energy, stay grounded, and stay connected to yourself. 🙇🏻‍♀️

You are seen. You are noticed.

Maybe you feel lost right now. Maybe you are struggling or carrying a choice that weighs on your chest. Maybe you are learning how to place boundaries for the first time and it feels unfamiliar. Maybe you feel unloved or unsure of where you stand. Maybe you are starting something new and your nerves feel loud. Maybe you are yearning for something different. Maybe disappointment has followed you into the week. Maybe you are taking the year slowly and wondering if you are falling behind because everyone else is pushing before the end of the year.

Wherever you are, I’m thinking of you.
You are more than capable.
You are allowed to take up space.
You will get through this.
Be kind to yourself. 💛

Do you ever notice how often you tell yourself you should be doing something?
You should be further. You should work harder. You should keep everyone happy.
It builds pressure fast.

When you speak to yourself in shoulds, you set rules that pull you away from what you value. You chase what sounds good or what others expect, instead of what feels useful for you.

You shift your energy from meaning to pressure. From choice to comparison.

You move better when your actions reflect what you care about, not what you think you owe others.

You deserve goals that feel supportive, not heavy.

Be kind to yourself 💛

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I felt the need to share this:

“One of my college professors used to say, ‘Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly!’

I didn’t understand that for years, because I never did anything poorly. I had to do. Everything. Perfectly.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing when those two minutes seem exhausting.
Ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.
Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.
Standing for a few minutes on the porch is worth it, after being in the house for three straight days, because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.”
~ GK Chesterton - “A thing worth doing is worth doing badly.” ~

Go out and try something. Be brave enough to be bad at something. Do something half-assed today. Be kind to yourself 💛

The other day I was talking to my husband and I mispronounced a word. 🙈
He looked at me and said, “Sorry, what was that?” 😂 poking fun at me…
I asked him, “But did you know what I meant?” 💁🏻‍♀️
He said “yes” and we both laughed at how my brain was mushy and we both need a holiday 🙌🏼

Later I remembered I had screenshotted this post.
You feel pressure to sound perfect.
You feel like every word needs to land.
You feel like everything you say needs weight.

But you forget how simple it is to let people be.
To let them trip over a word.
To let them talk about something they love, even if you don’t understand.
To show them you can hold space for who they are, not who you expect them to be.

You give people room to breathe when you stop correcting and start noticing.
You show care when you let imperfection stay in the room.
And you feel the whole moment soften.

You make room for kindness when you stop trying to manage everything. There’s such pressure to get it all right but we’re allowed to make mistakes, that’s when we grow. That’s how we learn. That’s how we show others they can be “imperfect” and we accept them, even if they are currently interested in frogs 🐸 😉

So today just remember it’s super underrated to let people just be and it’s super underrated to find someone you can be with. So be kind to yourself and others 💛

You know those tiny moments with children that feel small but stay with you for years? Like the time your granny let you lick the spoon 🍰
Those are the ones that build connection.

When you bring up moments they remember, their whole face lifts ☺️
When you tell stories from your own childhood, they lean in and learn 👀
When you teach them something new, they feel proud 🥇
When you cook together, they feel included.
When you talk about dreams, they feel understood 💭
When you try something new together, they feel brave.
When you share a hobby you love, they feel invited in.
When you get ready side by side, they feel close.
When you show them a toy or book you treasure, they feel trusted 🤩

These small choices shape the way children see you and the way they see themselves.
They notice your effort.
They feel your presence.
They remember your warmth.

💛

A lot of people assume that play therapy is all about the fun, that it just involves toys, art and music 🧸 🎶 🎨
and it can but...

The truth is that play is a child’s go to language and that by utilising play, children make sense of their feelings and experiences that they have not had a chance to process yet
Play Therapy is great for children with between the ages of 4 and 12 struggling with one or more of the following:
⭐️ Low self-esteem
⭐️ ADHD
⭐️ Anger
⭐️ Attachment Issues
⭐️ Autistic Spectrum
⭐️ Behaviour Problems
⭐️ Bereavement / Loss
⭐️ Bullying
⭐️ Nightmares
⭐️ Separated / Divorced Parents
⭐️ Under Performing (Academically, Socially, Culturally)

Monday mornings hit and you sit with a long list in front of you. You tell yourself you need to power through. You worry that if you slow down, you fall behind. You add more tasks because it feels safer to keep moving 📝

Then you look at the list again and realise something important. More work does not mean more progress. More busy does not mean more productive. Sometimes the smartest move is to pause. Sometimes the best thing you do for your week is nothing at all 🙇🏻‍♀️

This is where the Not To Do List steps in.
It helps you release the stuff that steals your time and drains your energy.
It helps you focus on what actually matters. 🙅🏻‍♀️

You let go of:
✋🏼 other people’s responsibilities
🌦️ things outside your control
💤 tasks that leave you exhausted
😌anything that does not need your attention today
🙃 the pressure to hold everything together at the same time

When you strip your list down, you breathe again 🍃
You think clearer.
You move with intention.
You feel more like yourself.

So today, give yourself permission to choose what no to do.
Your week does not need a sprint.
It needs you.
Be kind to yourself 💛

For all those who are being brave at the moment. You are seen. You are supported. You are moving forward. You are loved. You are brave. 💛

What are you talking about? I’m not a fish or a pond I’m bloody stressed 😂 but stick with me for a minute-
Your mind is like a pond, and the fish are your feelings.

Some are small and easy to let go.
Some are big and heavy.
Some you spend ages trying to reel in, and some you hope never get caught on the hook. 🎣
Some you need a little help reeling in and some you want to immediately release!

Being the pond is hard.
It means holding all of it.
It means not pretending the water is still when it isn’t.
It means noticing when the tides shift, and naming what swims through. You have to acknowledge that you can just be with the fish (feelings) 🐠

That’s what emotional regulation really looks like - staying steady enough to hold what comes and goes, without becoming the fish. Sometimes we are the fish, the feeling takes over and you ARE the anger. You ARE the sad. That’s okay too. You’re learning, you’re swimming, you’re moving. 🐡

But maybe today, just for a moment, you can be aware of whether you’re the fish or the pond 🌅

Be kind to yourself, keep swimming 💛

We always want to be “on it” or “with it” or get “through it”. It’s okay if at the moment you’re not okay. It’s okay if at the moment you’re doing the bare minimum. It’s okay if at the moment you’re struggling. It’s okay not to be okay.
Soon you will be “on it” and “with it” and have moved “through it”. For now it’s okay not to be okay. Be kind to yourself regardless 💛
