💚 You don't have to work everything out alone.

Living with FND can leave you with lots of questions.

You might be trying to understand what's happening, work out where to find reliable information, or figure out what support might help you in everyday life.

And sometimes, knowing where to start can feel like a challenge in itself.

That's why I created FND Starting Steps — a supportive course for people living with Functional Neurological Disorder.

It's a space to build your understanding of FND, explore helpful resources, think about your own needs and discover practical ways to support yourself.

Not by doing everything at once, or by finding all the answers straight away, but by taking things one step at a time. 🌱

This 4-week course includes weekly live sessions, workbooks and signposting to useful resources, with opportunities to connect with others who understand some of the challenges of living with FND.

💚 Starting Tuesday 3 November at 6pm GMT
💚 Course fee: £45 (£11.25 weekly payment plan available)

You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Sometimes, having somewhere to start makes all the difference.

💚 Living with FND? It can be hard to explain FND symptoms - especially when you're tired, experiencing brain fog, or trying to put something complex into words.

One tip that may help when speaking to healthcare professionals.

- Describe what happens; and
- how it affects your everyday life.

For example, rather than simply saying, “I'm struggling to walk”, you might try something like:

“When my symptoms flare,
my leg drags and doesn't respond as I'd expect,
I struggle to get around the house safely.”

- Write it down and show them
- Put a short note on your phone, or
- Ask someone you trust to come with and explain.

You don't need to find perfect words or explain everything at once.

You deserve to be listened to. 💚

Access to appointments and ongoing support can be incredibly difficult.

These little tips and strategies won't fix that, but they can help you to be understood.

Diagnosed with FND… and left wondering, “What now?” 💚

Receiving a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder can bring so many questions.

You might find yourself searching online, trying to make sense of different information, waiting for appointments, or wondering what advice is right for you.

The diagnosis can come with confusion, frustration, perhaps relief to finally have a name for what you're experiencing, and you find yourself unsure about what comes next.

And if that's where you are right now, please know this: you don't have to work everything out all at once.

Finding your way with FND is a journey, and it's okay if you don't have all the answers yet. You deserve clear information, understanding, support and the space to discover what might help you as an individual - we are all different.

Sometimes, the most helpful first step isn't doing more. It's having somewhere to begin. 🌱

That's why I created FND Starting Steps — a supportive course for people living with FND who want to better understand their condition, explore helpful resources, feel more confident navigating support, and find practical ways to care for themselves.

We take things one step at a time, with live sessions, workbooks and signposting to useful and reliable resources.

💚 Starting Tuesday 3 November at 6pm GMT
💚 Course fee: £45 (payment plan available)

If you'd like to find out more, you can visit:

Just know that you don't need to have the whole path mapped out to take your first step.

One step at a time is enough. 💚

14/10/2026

New to FND? You don't have to figure it all out today. 💚

An FND diagnosis can leave you with so many questions.

- What is and isn't FND?
- What does this mean for me?
- Where do I find reliable information?
- Who and what can help?

And sometimes, the hardest part is trying to work it all out when you're already dealing with so much.

You don't need to have all the answers right now.

FND Starting Steps is a supportive course designed to help you understand FND, explore healthcare and support options, identify your needs and begin finding your own way forward.

With live weekly sessions, workbooks and practical signposting, we'll take things one step at a time.

🌱 Starting Tuesday 3 November at 6pm GMT.

You don't have to navigate this alone.

3 days to go until my free webinar 🙂

Living with FND made me question what I thought I knew about fatigue.

I trained as a fatigue therapist, so I came to FND with an existing understanding of fatigue and established models to draw on.

But the more I explored FND — both through my own experience and through supporting others — the more I felt that something was missing.

The neurology.
The complexity.
The whole person.

And the things contributing to fatigue that aren't necessarily visible from the outside.

That questioning eventually led me to develop my own model for understanding fatigue in FND.

On Sunday I'm going to share some of what I've learned, questioned and developed through living with FND, my work with others and my training as a fatigue therapist.

FND: Why the Spoon Theory is NOT Enough!

Sunday 27 September
4pm BST
Free webinar

If you've ever thought “Spoon Theory doesn't quite explain my experience”, I'd love you to join me.

💛 7 days until the next Pacing Pathways programme begins.

I know that joining something new can feel like a lot when we live with FND - There might be questions.

- Will I manage it?
- What if I fall behind?
- What if I have a flare up?
- What if I don't understand something?
- What if I can't make or don't want the support calls?

So I want to say this:

🌿 You have access and support for 2 years
🌿 You don't have to be ready or do anything before you begin.
🌿 You don't have to know exactly what you need.
🌿 You don't have to understand your FND yet.
🌿 You don't have to be able to do everything.
🌿 You find a place to start with support and understanding.

Pacing Pathways has been deliberately slowed down — one module each month, over seven months.

✅ Access to content is for 2 years

✅ There is real, interactive FND support - not AI

✅ There's plenty of time to learn, notice, explore, experiment and reflect as we change and so do our symptoms.

✅ And there's no expectation that you will move through it in exactly the same way as anyone else.

The next programme begins Sunday 27 September 2026.
And next Sunday, I'll also be hosting my free webinar:

🖥️ FND: Why the Spoon Theory is NOT Enough!
🗓️ Sunday 27 September 2026
🕓 4pm BST

If you're curious about my approach, that's a lovely place to start.

What if you've tried pacing before... and it didn't work?

- Maybe you've been told to pace.
- Maybe you've tried the activity/rest approach.
- Maybe you've carefully counted your spoons.
- Maybe you've tried doing less, taking more breaks, or sticking to a schedule.

And yet you're still struggling.

That doesn't necessarily mean you've failed at pacing.
It might mean how you've been taught to think about pacing doesn't quite fit your experience of living with FND.

That's something I've spent a lot of time exploring — both through living with FND myself and through supporting others.

For me, pacing isn't simply about doing less.
It's about understanding what's actually contributing to your fatigue, noticing what your brain and body are telling you, exploring different tools and techniques, and discovering what works for you.

That's a big part of what we'll be exploring in Pacing Pathways: Navigating Life with FND.

Made for those with FND, by someone with lived experience.

The next programme begins Sunday 27 September and there's even a free webinar coming up too.

I'll share a little more about what that looks like over the next few days.

It's not about promising to “fix” someone's FND.

It's about helping people understand their own FND, find ways of working with their brain and body, and gradually discover what works for them.

Mary, Dorset, UK, shared:

“The course has empowered me to take more control of my symptoms and accept my condition, allowing me to gain a careful consistency to my everyday activities and energy.”

“It has opened my mind to different perspectives and thought processes and taught me to be more gentle to myself and situation.”

And this particularly struck me:

“From my diagnosis of FND 4 years ago, there has been little to no support or guidance on how to move forward but this course has given me exactly what I was looking for.”

Thank you, Mary, for trusting me enough to share your experience. 💛

Pacing Pathways begins again from 27 September 2026.

If you've been looking for something that helps you understand and work with your own FND, rather than simply telling you what you should do, you can find out more here:

FND & Fatigue is not simple!

I've been exploring and working with fatigue differently for a long time.

Living with FND made me question everything that I thought I knew and previously understood about fatigue.

What I discovered was that there was much more going on than simply doing something → using energy → becoming tired.

That led me to explore, learn and eventually develop my own model for understanding fatigue in FND.

I'll be sharing more about that in my free webinar:

FND: Why the Spoon Theory is NOT Enough!

Sunday 27 September, 4pm (BST)

If you live with FND, work with people with FND, or are simply curious about FND, I'd love you to join me.
