One of my clients suggested I watch Stutz on Netflix and… wow. 🤯

As a therapist, I loved how Phil Stutz takes complex psychological ideas and turns them into practical tools we can actually use when we feel stuck.

Part X, The Shadow, Radical Acceptance, The String of Pearls, Active Love, Gratitude… there was so much that resonated that I had to create this carousel.

It’s a little longer than usual, but these ideas deserved more than a quick quote. 🌿

My biggest takeaway? We don’t always have to feel ready before we act. Sometimes we act first, and the change follows.

Have a swipe and see which tool speaks to you. ❤️

✨ LOOK WHO’S JUST SIGNED IN! ✨

Transform Trauma Oxford 2026 I’m officially registered and ready! 🧠💜

There’s something quite incredible about being part of an event bringing together clinicians from all over the world, all with one shared passion: understanding trauma, deepening our knowledge and becoming better at the work we do.

I’ve already met and connected with some absolutely fantastic people online, and now I genuinely cannot wait for the in-person experience at Oxford. The conversations, the learning, the speakers, the different perspectives ALL of it. 🙌

This is exactly the kind of thing that reminds me why I love this profession so much. There is always more to learn, more to understand and more ways we can develop how we support the people who trust us with their stories.

Oxford… I am SO ready for you! 🎓🧠✨

✨ Welcome to Innerworth Counselling ✨

This is my little therapy space a warm, comfortable place where you can come in, sit down and just be yourself. 🤍

I work with adults, children, couples and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationships, family difficulties, low confidence or simply feeling overwhelmed with life.

You don’t need to know what to say. You don’t need to have everything figured out. And you certainly don’t need to wait until you’re at breaking point.

If you’ve been watching this thinking, “Maybe I need someone to talk to,” then please reach out to me. Even if you’re nervous, unsure, or don’t quite know where to start just send me a message.

We can start with a simple hello and take it from there. 🤍

My door is open, and you’ll always be welcomed exactly as you are.

This is why I do what I do ❤️

I actually had to pause when I read this.

You spend so much time just getting on with the work that sometimes you forget what it can mean to someone to simply have a space where they feel safe, heard and able to be completely themselves.

Then you receive something like this and think… yep. This is exactly why I became a therapist.

Thank you, Anna. Your words genuinely mean the world to me. ❤️

Therapy… but make it a foam party 😂

Healing doesn’t always have to be deep conversations and working through the hard stuff.

Sometimes it’s about letting go, being silly, laughing, dancing and remembering how to actually have FUN.

We spend so much time being grown-ups that we forget our inner child still needs to come out and play sometimes. 🤍

Today’s therapy: foam, dancing and absolutely no dignity 😂🫧

When the therapist shows up at her own therapist’s… and for the next hour, it’s finally all about me! 😂🙌🏼

Therapists need therapy too. We spend so much time holding space for others, but we also need somewhere safe to put down what we’re carrying, reflect, recharge and simply be human.

No fixing anyone. No professional hat. Just me, my feelings and a full hour to talk about myself… yay! 😂

EUPD/BPD: Look Beyond the Behaviour I think sometimes we get so focused on someone’s behaviour that we forget to ask what’s actually going on underneath it.

With EUPD/BPD, things like needing reassurance, pushing people away, reacting strongly, struggling with conflict or being terrified someone is going to leave can look confusing from the outside.

But underneath there can be so much more going on — fear, shame, trauma, attachment wounds, rejection and emotions that feel absolutely huge in the moment.

That doesn’t mean we excuse behaviour that hurts other people. Understanding someone and having boundaries can exist at the same time.

And I think that’s really important.

People with EUPD/BPD aren’t simply “attention seeking” or “manipulative”. Sometimes they’re desperately trying to feel safe, loved, understood or reassured with the coping strategies they’ve learned along the way.

With support, self-awareness and the right therapy, those patterns absolutely can change.

So instead of always asking:

“Why are they behaving like this?”

Maybe sometimes we need to ask:

“What’s happening underneath this behaviour?”

Because when we understand the why, we have a much better chance of working on the how. 💚 EmotionalRegulation Attachment DBT Therapy Counselling InnerworthCounselling

🧠 Ever known something wasn’t right… but still found yourself justifying it?

That uncomfortable feeling can be cognitive dissonance — the tension we experience when our beliefs, values and actions don’t quite match.

It can sound like:

💭 “I know I deserve better, but…”
💭 “They’re not always like this.”
💭 “Maybe I’m overreacting.”
💭 “Things will change.”
💭 “I know this isn’t good for me, but I can’t seem to walk away.”

Sometimes, rather than changing the situation, our mind tries to reduce the discomfort by rationalising, minimising or focusing on the positives.

And this doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means your brain is trying to make sense of two conflicting realities.

Awareness gives us the opportunity to ask:

Does what I’m choosing actually align with what I believe I deserve?

You don’t have to make every decision today. Sometimes the first step is simply becoming curious about the gap between what you know, what you feel and what you do. 🌿

Sometimes the deepest wounds aren’t caused by what happened to us… but by what we needed and didn’t receive.

A child needs to feel seen, heard, protected, comforted and valued. When those emotional needs repeatedly go unmet, we can carry the message into adulthood:

“I’m not enough.”
“I’m too much.”
“People will leave.”
“My needs don’t matter.”
“I have to keep everyone happy to be loved.”

And those beliefs don’t simply disappear because we grow up.

They can show up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, fear of rejection, difficulty trusting, choosing emotionally unavailable relationships, overworking, struggling to accept help or constantly questioning your own worth.

These behaviours aren’t your identity. Often, they are coping strategies that once helped you navigate an environment where your emotional needs weren’t consistently met.

Therapy can help us recognise those old patterns, understand where they came from and begin developing something different.

The adult you are today can start giving that younger part of you a different message:

You are seen.
You are safe.
Your feelings matter.
You are worthy of healthy love and connection.

Healing isn’t about blaming the past.
It’s about understanding its impact so it doesn’t have to keep writing your future. 🌿
