There's something about September that feels like a little reset, isn't there?

Summer is winding down, routines are starting again and suddenly we're looking towards the end of the year.

And it can make us think…

“Where has this year gone?” and “What do I actually want from the rest of the year?”

You don't need to have everything figured out and you don't need a five-year plan

But maybe September is a good time to pause for a minute and ask yourself:

What do I want more of?

More confidence?

More time for yourself?

More fun?

More of the things that make you feel like YOU? Start there.

What's one thing you'd love more of before the end of the year?

Feeling overwhelmed?
Try coming back to your five senses.
Sometimes when our minds are racing, we need to stop trying to solve everything and simply bring ourselves back to RIGHT NOW.

Look around you.
What can you see?
What can you hear?
What can you smell?
What can you taste?
What can you feel?

It sounds simple, but that’s the point!
You don’t always need a complicated solution.

Sometimes a simple grounding exercise can give your brain the little pause it needs.
Save this one for when you need it.

And if you know someone whose mind is constantly running at 100mph, send it to them too.

Feeling stuck?

That feeling where you know you want something to change, but you just can't work out what the next step is.

You keep thinking about it, but you talk yourself out of things.

And somehow tomorrow becomes next week, next month, next year.

Being stuck doesn't mean you're incapable of moving forward.

Sometimes you just need to understand what's keeping you where you are.

That's something I love helping people with.

Not telling you what to do.

Helping you work out what YOU want, what's getting in the way and what your next step could be.

If you've been feeling stuck lately, you're definitely not alone.

What would you change if you knew you couldn't fail?

There’s something about September that always feels like a bit of a fresh start.
Maybe it’s all those years of new school shoes and brand-new pencil cases 😂
But before we race into another month, I want you to think about something.

Not:
“What do I need to achieve?”
Not:
“How much weight do I need to lose?”
Not:
“What should I have ticked off my list by now?”
Instead, ask yourself…

✨ How would I like to FEEL? ✨
More confident?
Calmer?
Less anxious?
More motivated?
More comfortable in your own skin?
More excited about life?

Because sometimes we get so focused on what we think we should be DOING that we forget to think about how we actually want our life to feel.
And once you know that, you can start making changes that move you towards it.

So, before August disappears…
💭 How would YOU like to feel by September?
If you know the answer but have absolutely no idea how to get there, that’s exactly the kind of thing I can help with. Drop me a message and let’s chat.

Results day can feel huge.

For young people. And for parents.

There can be excitement, disappointment, relief, comparison and a lot of "what happens now?"

Whatever is written on that piece of paper, it doesn't define a young person's worth, potential or future.

Plans can change, routes can change and life has a funny way of taking us in directions we never expected.

Tomorrow, be the calm person in their corner. They'll remember how you made them feel long after they forget the grades.

You know that Sunday night feeling?

For some children and young people, the run-up to September can feel like that... but much bigger.

You might notice more tummy aches, trouble sleeping, irritability or endless questions about school.

If you've noticed a change in your child as September gets closer, don't dismiss it as bad behaviour.

Get curious. Give them space to talk. And if they need a little extra support, I'm here.

I haven’t always been The Feel Amazing Therapist.

In fact, for decades I struggled with my own mental wellbeing.

From the outside, life could look absolutely fine.

But inside? I just felt… meh and I just knew I didn’t feel how I wanted to feel.

Eventually, I started working with a life coach.

I began changing the way I thought about myself. I rebuilt my self-confidence. I started seeing possibilities rather than all the reasons I couldn’t do something.

And little by little, I started to feel amazing.

It changed my world.

So much so that I knew I wanted to learn how to help other people experience their own version of that change.

That decision eventually led me to extensive training, becoming an INLPTA Master Practitioner and creating 'Feel Amazing'.

So when someone sits in front of me and tells me they’ve lost themselves, they’re stuck or they just don’t feel like the person they used to be…

I understand that feeling.

And I also know how much can change.

💛 If 'meh' feels a little too familiar at the moment, my inbox is always open. Send me a message and we can chat about what you’d like to feel instead.

I know I talk about it ALOT, but what does it actually mean to Feel Amazing?

Because despite the name, I’m definitely not promising you’ll leap out of bed every morning singing about how wonderful life is. 😂

We’re human.

We have rubbish days, we get stressed, we lose our temper, we overthink things.

Life throws stuff at us that we didn’t ask for.

Feeling amazing isn’t about being happy ALL the time.

For me, it’s about feeling comfortable being YOU.

Trusting yourself and knowing you can handle things when life gets messy.

Not allowing that little voice in your head to dictate everything you do.

Having the confidence to say YES to the things you want and NO to the things you don’t.

And actually enjoying your life rather than constantly waiting for something to change.

Your version of 'amazing' might look completely different to somebody else’s.

And that’s exactly how it should be.

💫 So I’ve got a question for you…

If you could change ONE thing about how you currently feel, what would it be?
