We recently received some lovely feedback from the parent of a teenager who has been having therapy sessions with our incredible therapist, April.

After a particularly meaningful session, her parent told us:

“Whatever was said in this session has really resonated with her.”

But it was what came next that really showed how far she had come.

📚 She’d started reading books again.
📱 She was choosing to take herself away from her phone.
🌱 And, most importantly, she felt ready to see how she got on without regular sessions for a while, knowing that the door was always open if she needed support again.

Her parent described it beautifully as being “guided back to feelings of wellness.”

Therapy isn’t always about one huge breakthrough. Sometimes it’s about slowly noticing those little pieces of yourself returning. Finding enjoyment in things again. Feeling more present. Feeling more able to cope. And eventually, feeling ready to trust yourself to take the next step.

We’re incredibly proud of the young people who come through our doors and put in the work, and so grateful to therapists like April who create a safe space for them to do it. 💛

If your teenager is struggling and you’re wondering whether therapy could help, please get in touch with the Laura Greenwood Therapy team to find out more.

You’ve spent six weeks looking after everyone else. But how are YOU?

The uniforms are ready.
The school bags are packed.
The children are finally back at school.

And suddenly, it’s quiet.

The space in between.

For the first time in weeks, you have enough space to breathe, and notice how YOU are actually feeling.

Maybe you’re exhausted.
Maybe you’re feeling resentful, anxious or completely touched out.
Maybe your relationship has felt the strain of six intense weeks together.
Maybe the mum rage has been louder than you’d like to admit.
Maybe you’ve lost sight of who you are underneath everything everyone else needs from you.

Or maybe you simply feel relieved they’re back at school... and possibly guilty for feeling relieved.

You’re allowed to feel that way. All the ways.

No. Feeling. Is. Wrong.

All. Feelings. Messengers.

The summer holidays can be a glorious juxtaposition.

Wonderful AND relentless.

You can adore your children AND still need space from them.

You can feel grateful for the memories AND depleted by the experience.

So as September brings a return to routine, perhaps it can also be a return to YOU.

Not just catching up on the jobs you couldn’t get done over summer. Not immediately filling the space with more demands.

But asking yourself:

How am I, really? What do I need now?

And if the answer is “I can’t keep doing this”, please know you don’t have to wait until things get worse before seeking support.

Daily reminder, my lovelies...

You are a Mum, yes, a Dad, yes, and a way more incredible one than you give yourself credit for. ❤️ ✨

YOU are also SOOOOO much more... and do you know what? When I personally gave myself permission to find and nurture those parts alongside motherhood, wow, did my whole life AND experience of motherhood transform for the better.

Thank you for being here on my little corner of the gram. If you found me, you are meant to be here.

Mum Rage.

The kind that feels like it comes out of nowhere.
The kind where you feel like you have lost total control over your reactions.

The kind that leaves you feeling so much…

Shame.

Considering yourself as an awful person, a terrible mother…thinking the answer is to “just try harder” next time to push it all down….

…only for you to erupt like the incredible she hulk…time, and time again…slowly, eroding your self-worth.

If you’ve ever questioned your abilities as a mother because of how you reacted…
If you’ve ever replayed a moment over and over in your head…
If you’ve ever promised yourself you’ll “do better tomorrow”

Please hear this:

✨ You are not a terrible mother.
✨ You are not broken.
✨ And white-knuckling your way through it isn’t the answer.

There is another way.

I’ve created a FREE Essential Guide to Managing Mum Rage to help you start breaking the cycle. Gently, practically, and without shame.

Inside, I guide you through small but powerful shifts that help you:

🤍 Offload the emotional build-up
🤍 Understand what’s really underneath the rage
🤍 Prioritise your needs without guilt
🤍 Show up calmer and more connected

One mum who downloaded it shared this:

“Doing my rage on the page really helped me offload a load of stuff. For my self-care, I now add ‘What do I need?’ to my daily To Do list… I’ve started shelving chores that can wait so I can read or sew. It’s already making a big difference and I’m showing up better for my little girl (and my husband and our dog!), which is what this is all about.”

This isn’t about becoming a “perfect” mum.

It’s about becoming the one you are meant to be. Believe me, that is a ‘perfect’ one for your children.

If you’re ready to start breaking the cycle today, download your free guide here:

You don’t have to do this alone 🤍

I don't tend to see narcissists in my therapy room.

I see the people who loved them.

The ones who were told they were "too much"...
Who learnt to shrink themselves to keep the peace...
Who believed that if they just tried harder, loved harder or understood more, things would go back to how they were in the beginning.

After watching The Housemaid, I couldn't stop thinking about how accurately it portrays a pattern I witness time and time again.

I adored this depiction of the empath/narcissist dynamic.

I adored it because it showed me what I have always seen.

That the empaths are the ones in control. More in control than they give themselves credit for.

They think themselves weak, but these women are anything but.

These women and their nervous systems are incredibly skilled at surviving.

If any part of this feels familiar, I hope you'll read the full blog, which includes:

✨ Why empaths are often drawn to narcissists.
✨ Why love bombing feels so intoxicating.
✨ The moment everything changes.
✨ Why I don't believe these women are victims at all.

My message to you is this:

You were never powerless.
You did what you needed to do to survive.
And the strength you think you're missing has been there all along.

💛 Read the full blog here and let me know which part resonated with you most.

🤯 "You only get 18 summers..." 🤯

Read on to hear why I despise this reference, even though I know it comes from a good place.

If you've spent any time on social media lately, you've probably seen this message more than once.

A reminder to soak it all in.
To cherish every moment.
To remember how quickly it all goes.

And whilst there is truth in that...

Can I offer another truth?

For those that need to know that the idea of spending an entire Summer with your child fills you with dread…

I deliberately plan our summer holidays so Owen and I don't spend every single day together.

Not because I don't adore him.
Not because I don't treasure these years.
But because it wouldn't be good for either of us.

There are days when I absolutely love stepping fully into my mum role. We laugh with our full bodies, make memories, slow down, and I wear my mum hat and varied experience of mumhood with pride.

And then there are other days...

The endless hours of entertaining.
The boredom that feels visceral.

The constant request for stimulation, food, attention, energy.
The moments where I'm mentally creating a to-do list or looking for any excuse to do something else.

Sometimes I find myself fantasising about being anywhere else.

And that could bring a huge wave of guilt….I know it does for many of you.

But here's what I've come to realise...

Those feelings don't mean I love being a mum one day and not the next.

They mean I'm a multi-faceted human being.

A woman in my own right.
A therapist.
A business owner.
A friend.
A partner.

A person with passions, purpose and needs beyond motherhood.

A woman with a deep desire to live a FULL life with a variety of experiences.

When I nurture those different parts of myself, I show up as a better mum.

Many mothers feel this too.

We just don't talk about it enough because we're so busy trying to live up to the pressure that tells us we should love every minute.

You don't have to love every moment to deeply love your children.

Both things can be true.

If you've needed permission to stop striving for the "perfect summer" and instead create one that works for your whole family, this is it. ❤️

A few months ago, I had the privilege of facilitating a session on Mum Rage at The Nest.

What struck me most wasn't just what was said…It was what had been HELD IN for so long.

The women in the room were incredibly self-aware.

They weren't asking, "How do I stop feeling angry?" They were asking much deeper questions:

Why does this feel so hard to talk about?

Because for many of us, anger has never felt like an emotion we're allowed to express.

As women. As mothers.

We're often taught that sadness is acceptable. Exhaustion is understandable. But anger? Definitely an unsafe, shameful, and something to hide.

We talked about how rage can change throughout motherhood.

In those early days, it can feel explosive. Like the Incredible Hulk has suddenly appeared, fuelled by sleep deprivation, overwhelm and the relentless demands of caring for a tiny human.

As our children grow, that rage doesn't always disappear.

Sometimes it becomes quieter.

More internal.

It shifts into resentment, injustice, imbalance, carrying the invisible load, or questioning why so much still falls to mothers. The emotion may look different, but it's still there.

And one conversation has stayed with me in particular.

We reflected on how expressing anger can feel even more dangerous for Black women because of the increased judgments and stereotypes that society places upon them. The emotional labour of managing not only your feelings, but how those feelings will be perceived, is something we don't talk about enough.

There is no one experience of motherhood.

But there is one thing I know to be true:

Rage is information.

It tells us something needs attention.

It isn't a sign you're failing. It isn't something to fear. It deserves curiosity, compassion and space to be understood.

Mum rage is real, it's common, and it deserves far more conversation than it gets.

Have you ever felt angry as a parent but struggled to admit it?

I’d love to hear your story.
