When you book to speak with a therapist and arrange a session, often you can wonder what the environment will be like 🤔

Will the room be big or small, what will the seats be like, will it have windows in case I feel trapped in what I’m going through and need to look out of one to ground myself….

The room I use is spacious enough to feel comfortable and relaxed in. ☺️

I try and make a space where you’ll feel at ease and welcome. 🤝

Sometimes face to face can feel overwhelming.
What will I talk about? How much is to much?
What will the therapist think of me?
What happens if I cry?

It’s perfectly normal to have these thoughts and feelings. Which is why I offer a free 20-minute consultation on the phone, so we can have a brief discussion and introduce ourselves before booking something. 📞 💬 😊

I work face to face ✅ or online ✅. Sadly the walk and talks now take a break due to unpredictable weather 👎🏼 but will be back in April 👍.

If you or someone you know need a space to talk with a therapist, do get in touch. I’ll be happy to assist in any way I can.

Su***de Awareness day 💛

Seems fitting that I was on a mental health first aid course today. I’ve done plenty of training on this subject but I’ll always do more as you never stop learning.

As I’ve said in previous posts, there shouldn’t be just one day where awareness around su***de is spoken about.

We live in a world where suffering with mental health is still hidden or not talked about enough.

Whether you are someone suffering right now or know of someone who is. A conversation is better than no conversation.

Be kind to yourself and most importantly don’t lose the hope. Life is to short not to give yourself the chance.

Walk and Talk🚶🗣️

I am back offering sessions outdoors now it’s April and the weather and daylight (let’s not jinx it!) looks better.

Things to know…
- Routes are carefully selected for all abilities.
- As long as it’s not down pouring or storms we stomp away.
- We go at your pace.
- If you have a fury animal ( 🐶) by all means bring them along.. well behaved of course.
- You’ll be getting some good active time in which has proven to help people’s mental health. Sometimes sitting down with a therapist isn’t everyone’s preferred choice.
- If under 18 yrs old, a parent or responsible adult must wait at the designated starting point. (Risk assessments carried out)

🤔
When was the last time you de cluttered from life?
When was the last time you had some you time and checked in with how things are going?

The Hustle and Bustle of life can creep up that’s for sure.

I look forward to hearing from you and as always, any questions do get in touch. 👍

Sometimes when working with a client or just speaking with someone, there can still be this stigma around being on ‘antidepressants’.

There should be no shame no embarrassment and certainly no judgement on being on medication because it is there to do a job.

Talking therapy alongside taking medication can really help but it’s important too follow the advice from professionals.

From time to time we need a helping hand and it pleases me when I stumble across things like the clip below. The line at the end that Joe uses ‘ I thought I could fix my own mind’ just shows that as a ex rugby player who looks hard as nails and carries himself well. Is actually fighting his own personal stuff and turned to antidepressants as a form of support. It doesn’t matter who you are. Support is always out there if you want it.

Have a restful weekend 👍

As we attempt to slow down in time for Christmas it’s a reminder that not everyone feels the festive spirit and this time of year can feel lonely and isolating to some.

Remember help and support is only a phone call or text message away.

Like most things in life, when something works we rarely question it 😊, compared to when something doesn’t work we question everything 😵‍💫.
Reviewing the what went well and the not so well is actually a healthy process to go through. There is no script or straight line in how to do things in therapy, often you can feel worse before better or better then worse before better again 🤔. That’s because we open ourselves up into a new world of reflection and self awareness💡bringing the subconscious into the conscious or the uncomfortable into the comfortable. The process will take as long as it needs to, the main thing to remember is as long as we are moving forward, we are heading in the right direction, no matter what shape it’s in✔️ 🏆

Some of the biggest challenges we face in life are internal and it can be overwhelming. Know that you’re not alone, speaking about your problems is one of the best ways you can tackle them. Every climb starts with a step

Anxiety is not just worrying too much. It’s not simply restlessness, panicking, or overthinking.

1. It’s waking up with your heart racing, even though nothing has happened yet.
2. It’s your chest feeling so tight you struggle to take a deep breath.
3. It’s replaying conversations in your head for hours, searching for mistakes you didn’t even make.
4. It’s being exhausted but unable to sleep, because your mind refuses to turn off.

Anxiety can make you question your worth, your safety, and even your future. And the hardest part? From the outside, it often looks invisible. People may say “calm down” or “don’t stress,” without realizing you’ve already tried that a thousand times today.

If you live with anxiety, please know this: you’re not weak, dramatic, or broken. You’re human. You’re navigating something heavy and real, and that takes courage every single day.

If this resonates, let it be a reminder, you deserve understanding, support, and compassion. Get in touch for a chat 🙂

For a lot of people now, it’s the summer holidays, a chance to go on holiday, take a break from a job or simply make use of the day/evenings.
However summer holidays can also be very hectic with kids now off school, extended time not really doing a lot. It can change our moods and decision making as the days just role into one.
Diagram below can be useful if you are noticing in yourself if you are feeling reactive or unsure. Take that time, check in with yourself and when you are ready… Go again.
