As I fast approach my 50th year on our beautiful earth, I’ve found myself looking back on my life and reflecting upon all the women I have been, and mostly still am, and I thought it worth celebrating!

These different phases I have moved through have made me who I am today, as difficult and challenging as some have been, they have given me the wisdom and life experience that have undoubtedly accentuated my work and have enabled me to offer a level of empathy and understanding, conveyed within an inner knowing, to those I sit with on a daily basis.

I have long believed “we are the sum of our experiences” (B J Neblett) and intrinsically feel that our identities, beliefs, values, and perspectives are not innate but are formed and continually shaped by everything we encounter throughout our lives.

Not only the significant, life-altering events but also the seemingly mundane, everyday interactions and observations.

Every joy, sorrow, success, failure, relationship, and challenge contributes to the complex tapestry of who we are.

It’s a holistic view of selfhood, rejecting the notion of a fixed, unchanging essence, and one that makes so much sense to me.

As it proposes that we are constantly evolving, adapting, and being molded by the world around us.

If our lives enable and allow us to align ourselves with our full potential, we will find the ability to grow and seek out opportunities for learning, growth and connection.

Much as I somehow managed to as a single parent on a minimum wage, powered by determination and a lifelong dream that wouldn’t let me give up, as I innately knew I had the power to curate my future and to actively shape the therapist I hoped to become.

Trusting this about myself and the instinct I seemed to have for the work, has been my driving force forward, now seen in real time, within my clients lives who are fulfilling their own dreams having worked through and embraced all of their different phases and roles they have had to be, and maybe still are, before they could meet themselves so fully in today.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be.” - Carl Rogers

This is such a beautiful concept and as simple as it seems, it’s also a remarkably difficult one to put into practice.

I have noticed within myself this week a pull to want to offer an intervention with my clients, noticing the rescuer part of me wishing to swoop in to bring about perhaps a less organic shift than allowing one to unfold more naturally within their growing understanding of themselves, and of themselves within the therapeutic relationship with me.

Finding this wonderful quote and a gentle reminder from my lovely supervisor, brought me full circle within my core Person-Centred training, to remember we can happily watch a sunset without needing to improve it.

We do not request it to become softer, brighter or more convenient.

All there is room for in that moment is simply to observe its beauty and allow it to unfold just as it is.

Our need to change, advise, correct or move our clients towards where we think they should be disappears, as so much becomes possible when we stand out the way of their view of everything, allowing them to fully embrace the essence of themselves, however raw or painful that might be.

Client led interventions have their place within this process of course, when introduced to develop a key theme or to accentuate a thought, an idea or a question.

Yet time and again this work shows me, there is no more effective tool than simply being present with our clients, letting them just be with themselves and in relationship with us as they meet themselves anew in all they wish to explore and discover.

You are listening to my song ‘Hello sunshine’ sung by yours truly ☺️

Finding a creative outlet for all we hold inside is one of the most cathartic ways we can express, release and process our emotions and struggles.

I’ve always found writing such a great way of allowing layers of experience to re-emerge along with the inevitable and often complicated emotions and sometimes trauma that have taken seed as a result.

This is why, as well implementing integrative interventions and approaches in my client work, the option for clients to express themselves in whichever inventive ways feel right for them are also always available.

Creative therapy takes healing to another level, where clients show me their heart and soul in such moving ways, their deepest most precious creations, and a glimpse at the more vulnerable and tender layers to them, which has an amazing way of opening the work up to new and deeper layers of discovery and understanding.

As when we meet ourselves in creative ways, a direct pathway to the younger parts of us can be more easily accessed.

Often these outlets weren’t encouraged in us as children, which can impede the development of a strong and dynamic sense of self.

So providing clients with a second chance to recreate these developmentally needed qualities in therapy later in life, gives those who were denied free creative expression the chance to fully develop and heal those young, wounded parts of themselves, helping them cultivate and enjoy a more meaningful and fulfilled life.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

On the eve of the very first day of autumn, may this exquisite season of the soul invite us to slow down and reflect on the passing of time.

As we watch the leaves transform into breathtaking hues of red, orange and gold, let’s be reminded of the transient nature of life itself, its cycles and fragility.

Autumn time provides a gentle nudge to pause and ponder our own journeys.

Just as the trees shed their leaves, may we be inspired to try and let go of and learn from anything that may hinder our own growth, embracing this opportunity for renewal, which can be explored within therapy.

Happily this Autumn time I am able to extend a warm invitation to those of you who may be seeking a gentle and nurturing therapeutic space to guide your own renewal and growth.

As for the first time this year I am able to offer a number of therapy spaces to new clients, coinciding so beautifully with this season of ‘letting go,’ so please reach out if you are curious about starting therapy with me.

My hand is outstretched in genuine care, ready to receive yours.

‘Give us gladness that connects
with the Friend, a taste of the quick,
you that make a cypress strong
and jasmine, jasmine.

Give us the inner listening
that is a way in itself
and the oldest thirst there is.

Don’t measure it out with a cup.
I am a fish. You are the moon.
You cannot touch me, but your light
can fill the ocean where I live.’

🐠🌙🐠🌙🐠

This is my favourite poem written by the 13th century Persian poet and Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi.

It conjures up so many feelings and much the same as the ocean, our emotions are ever changing with the ebb and flow of life, we are fluid beings and cannot be kept at just one state.

For me, Rumi’s message speaks of self trust, recognising our inner voice which holds all the truth and light we are seeking, it has always been there, moving from life to life along with our essence, filling us to the brim, the greatest expanse as the ocean, and all we have to do is dip our toes in.

What does Rumi’s poem mean to you?

🪽🪶🪽🪶🪽

You deserve to be loved, to receive the encouragement to want to soar to the greatest heights.

In my therapy room I see those whose wings have been clipped, also those whose wings have been ripped clean off.

Many clients cannot believe they even deserve a pair wings in the first place, feeling completely invisible and of no importance at all.

Feather by feather I help them see their worth, their infinite value and their full potential.

They experience these values through my total belief in them, where a genuine caring and heartfelt fondness is reflected back to them, as fledgling wings begin to form.

It’s the gift of therapy, and the beautiful part is, we all can add another feather to each other’s wings if we want to, the world over, it all begins with kindness, presence, thoughtfulness, patience and encouragement.

So whose wings could you add another feather to today?

As those last rays of August sun disappear beneath the horizon.

I’d love to share some thoughts with you about layers of being, so aptly illustrated here by the layers of petals in this beautiful rose.

My journey within this topic began on Friday where I attended a yoga workshop which focused on The Koshas.

Each Kosha represents one of the various, interrelated levels of our human experience which are interwoven, only one being visible to the physical eye, yet all were accessed through our deep asana practice at this workshop.

On this occasion we focused on the pranāmaya kośa or the energy body, such fascinating aspects were revealed such as;

⚡️ The word pranāmaya comes from two
Sanskrit roots: prana (vital life force) and maya (composed of, made up of).

🧘🏼‍♀️The pranamaya kosha is known as the “sheath composed of prana” - the energetic blueprint that gives the physical body its vitality, rhythm, and capacity for movement.

🌬️Also known as the vital sheath or the breath body, as the breath is its most accessible expression.

🧍🏼‍♀️This layer was first formally described in the Taittiriya Upanishad, an ancient text that mapped the human being into five concentric layers, from the densest to the most subtle.

🌟The pranāmaya kośa is more refined than flesh but coarser than thought.

🫀Without it, the physical body would be inert; with it, you breathe, your heart pulses, your digestion churns, and your nervous system communicates from cell to cell.

🌙 The pranāmaya kośa is not exotic or distant. It is as close as your next breath.

🌸 By learning to feel this layer, you gain a direct lever on energy, mood, and presence — one that does not require equipment, ideology, or even much time.

🙏🏻 Begin with the breath you are already taking, slow it down, and the rest of yoga begins to make sense from the inside out.

I hope you enjoyed learning about the pranāmaya kośa. Much love 🧡

✨Sad Post Alert ✨

Reaching a place that feels like the beginnings of acceptance is a landmark moment in therapy.

Especially when the person I’m sitting with is grieving the loss of their precious child.

This was the case for a young mother I worked with who was grieving the sudden loss of her baby, her presence ghostlike, mirroring this loss, her heart wracked with abject pain, each beat bringing a fresh downpour of tears, as she wondered why it betrayed her beat after broken beat.

The only thought that kept her going in these early months was the thought that he was still here.

She knew the reality deep down, but this was far too raw to exist within for now.

In this I met her exactly where she was, as this place felt bearable to her, being the point she had reached on this journey..

This thought allowed her to carry on, it kept her alive, it was the only reality she was able to face.

So here she dwell. Within the sanctuary of non-reality, where she inevitably began to piece herself back together, she began to heal.

Nestled within this quiet place inside she was able to be still with herself, to answer her own tears with understanding and compassion as the rawest pain relentlessly tore at her heart.

Those self destructive levels of longing couldn’t reach her hidden behind this protective wall she had created.

With my support she existed within these debilitating feelings, which meds didn’t touch, so she refused to take them as she was able to function with this natural layer of anaesthesia she had chosen to apply.

Gradually the light broke through, the patience and time she’d spent with herself, which often oscillated hugely, had brought her nearer to a place of accepting her beloved boy had gone.

One step and one day at a time is where she is now, as she knows the waves of grief will take her backwards just as easily as forwards, the momentum of grief being all she can be sure of, a new reality she is learning to adapt to and accept.

Sitting in silence with clients, holding that sacred space for them to experience themselves within their most painful feelings, is a powerful and essential part of any therapeutic journey.

The key is providing a safe and trusting environment for them to be vulnerable and raw within, to meet themselves anew as they recollect and relive some of the worst moments of their lives.

In this, even in silence, they are enveloped and held tight within my empathetic understanding, which, in these moments, is felt viscerally by us both, the reciprocity of our therapeutic relationship.

Working at relational depth in this way, has an intensely healing way of restoring clients, reparitively, as an original care giver may be expected to and, in many cases, has not.

Through it all, clients trust that I can hold it all for them, keeping it safe in my heart as I would any precious secret, until next time.

The work is very deep, heartfelt, where I give so much of my self to them within the genuine care, compassion and interventions that I offer.

It’s the most wonderful work helping to heal and restore others to their former glory, it is also often transcendent, as time and time again the universe seems to bring the clients that I can help the most, aligning my skill set, specialisms and personality so beautifully with their needs and preferences.

It’s a popular belief amongst therapists that the ‘universe brings you the clients you need’ as it’s very often a relationship that is healing for us both ✨✨
