❣️ Me now - Baby Me ❣️

There’s something tender about this AI‑generated image of me now holding me as a baby.

It reminds me that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with the parts of me that were never broken, just waiting to be held.

And in these wobbly and exciting times of change, it’s a gentle nudge to check in with myself, to stay close, and to remember that I can carry on learning to look after the person I’m becoming as much as the person I’ve been.

❣️ Maybe this is a reminder for you too ❣️

This was a few years ago now...Geoff was diagnosed with dementia before he reached 70. I asked him... "if you could do anything what would it be?"...he said he'd walk on the wings of a plane. I said..."let's make it happen" and together we did. What a memory, what a man!!! ❣️

This ♥️

I used to think healing meant forgetting, but now I know it means remembering without drowning, revisiting the ruins without needing to rebuild them, walking past the damage and still choosing to plant something beautiful where the fire once was.

You thought healing would mean the past stops existing, that the memories fade, that you'd eventually forget what hurt you. But that's not how it works. Healing doesn't erase what happened. It changes your relationship to it. You can remember without being consumed. You can revisit the pain without living there. You can acknowledge the ruins without trying to restore what was destroyed.

Walking past the damage and still choosing to plant something beautiful where the fire once was, that's healing. Not forgetting the fire existed, but refusing to let it be the only thing that grows there. You carry the scars, the memories, the knowledge of what burned. But you also carry seeds. And the power to choose what grows in the aftermath. Healing isn't amnesia, it's integration. It's remembering what happened while building something new from the ashes. And that's more powerful than forgetting ever could be.

💛 Grounding techniques in trauma work 💛

Things like noticing 5 things you can see, focusing on your breath, or feeling your feet on the floor are often seen as the go-to when someone becomes overwhelmed in therapy.

They’re designed to help bring you back into the present moment when things feel too much — creating a sense of safety, settling the body, and giving you a bit of space so you’re not completely swept up in what’s happening.

And while they can be helpful, they don’t always feel that way for everyone — especially for people who’ve experienced trauma.

It’s not that grounding is “wrong.” But when it’s introduced in a way that feels imposed, it can sometimes echo past experiences of having no choice or control.

In my work, I take a different approach.

Rather than telling clients what to do, I offer options and work collaboratively. There’s no pressure to use any particular technique — instead, we explore together what feels right for you.

You are the expert in your own experience.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can begin to reconnect with your own sense of choice, autonomy, and control — even in the moments that feel most difficult.

Thank you for being here ♥️

👋🏻 Au Revoir CIME room 👋🏻

I’ll be stepping away from my therapy room rental at the end of this month, and will now be focusing on offering online sessions.

My time in the building at CIME has meant a lot to me. What began with donating our piano grew into a chapter of my work that I’ll always hold close.

There’s something really special about the place and the people within it, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been part of it. I’ll continue to support and champion everything they do.

To everyone I’ve met, sat with, and worked alongside during this time, thank you. Your trust, openness, and presence have meant so much to me, and it’s been a privilege to be part of your lives.

This feels like the end of one chapter, and also the beginning of another. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with my clients old and new in a more flexible, accessible way through online sessions.

If you’d like to stay connected or book a session, please feel free to reach out 💛

A small but important update from me...

What if you’re not stuck, you’re avoiding the decision that scares you?

It’s something I talk about a lot in my work.

Many people I work with feel “stuck” in lives that look fine on the outside but feel exhausting to live.

And often, it’s not confusion holding them back, it’s the weight of a decision they’ve been putting off.

I’ve been there too.

And recently, I made a decision of my own:

I’m changing how I run my business and one of the changes is that I will now be working with most of my clients online.

Not because it’s easier, but because it creates more flexibility, more accessibility, and support that fits into real life.

If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, it might be worth asking yourself:

What decision am I avoiding?

And what is it costing me to stay where I am?

Thinking of you ❤️

❤️ PET LOSS ❤️

My best friend growing up was my dog.

So I’ve always understood that losing a pet isn’t “just” losing a pet.

For many people, they’re daily companionship, routine, comfort, and a steady kind of love that can feel like no other. So when they die, it can hit harder than people expect.

One of the hardest parts I see in therapy is how unseen this grief can feel. People are often met with comments like “you can always get another one” or “it was just a dog/cat.” Even when it’s meant kindly, it can feel dismissive.

The grief is real. Your pet has been part of everyday life in an always there kind of way, always familiar. And then suddenly they’re not.

Life feels different.

Routines shift.

Even small moments can feel heavy.

A lot of people also feel surprised by how strong the grief is, or guilty for still feeling it. But grief doesn’t follow a timetable, and it doesn’t need justification.

If you’re grieving a pet, and it still hurts more than you expected, that matters.

❤️ They mattered ❤️

🐢 A tiny reminder from this week's unexpected companion 🐢

I spent a few minutes holding this baby tortoise, and honestly, it was the sweetest pause in the middle of a busy day.

There was something about this small, steady creature that slowed me down, whilst taking care of them.

In my work, I’m often talking with people about pacing, gentleness, and finding moments of safety.

This little one embodied all of that without saying a word.

Here’s to small pauses, slow steps, and the things that help us feel grounded and safe again 🌱💛

🤔 What Is an Attachment Need ❓

When we talk about attachment needs, we’re really talking about the emotional experiences that help us feel safe, connected, and secure with the people who matter to us.

These needs aren’t “too much” or signs of weakness. They’re the glue that helps relationships stay steady, warm, and resilient. Things like:

- Feeling heard and understood
- Knowing our feelings won’t overwhelm the other person
- Feeling valued, wanted, and appreciated
- Trusting that someone will let us in emotionally
- Knowing we can reach them when we’re struggling
- Feeling accepted for who we are
- Trusting that our needs matter
- Feeling that the other person is willing to grow with us

When these needs are met, relationships tend to feel softer, safer, and more connected.

When they’re not, we often feel distance, confusion, or insecurity, not because we’re “needy,” but because we’re human.

Attachment needs are universal. They’re part of how we bond, repair, and stay close.
