Emotional Regulation Made Simple: Tools That Actually Help
Do you ever feel like your emotions are running the show, snapping, spiralling, or shutting down before you even realise it? You’re not the only one. Here are a few simple, science-backed tools to help you regulate your emotions and feel more like yourself again.

Healing the Mother Wound
The mother wound isn’t just about what happened, it’s about what was missing. When emotional needs go unmet, the ache can echo into adulthood. But healing is possible, and you can become the nurturer you always needed.

Avoid Now, Pay Later
What you avoid doesn’t go away, it waits. The task, the tension, the emotion… it all quietly grows heavier over time. Avoidance brings short-term relief but long-term pain.

Say What You Need Without Guilt or Aggression
You can speak up without being harsh. Assertiveness is the sweet spot between silence and shouting, a way to honour your needs while still valuing the person in front of you.

Why Every Man Needs a Band of Brothers
Somewhere along the line, we sold men a lie. That strength looks like silence. That being a “real man” means handling it yourself. That emotions make you weak, and asking for help is your last resort. But science, and real life, tell us a different story.

It’s Time to Tell Someone
You’ve carried it in silence for so long, it’s started to feel like part of you. But there’s a sacred kind of courage in whispering, “Can I tell you something?” Not to everyone, just to someone safe. Because healing often begins with one brave, honest sentence.

Stop Looking for Motivation, Start Building Momentum
Motivation is a feeling. Momentum is a habit. When you shrink the task and take that first small step, you shift everything. Progress begins the moment you stop waiting.

Brain Flossing: The Daily Habit That Clears Your Mind
Unprocessed thoughts build up like plaque, slowly, silently, and often without us noticing. Brain flossing is the gentle, daily habit of clearing out the mental residue, making room for clarity, calm, and perspective.

It Only Takes a Glimmer: Healing in the Smallest Moments
You’ve probably heard of triggers, those moments that send your body into fight, flight, or freeze. But have you heard of glimmers? Because if triggers are what activate your survival system, glimmers are what awaken your sense of safety.

Why Values Matter More Than Looks in Relationships
Attraction might spark connection, but shared values build lasting love. What you believe, how you live, and who you're becoming together, these matter more than looks.

The Science Behind Gratitude
Gratitude doesn’t cancel out pain, but it can coexist with it. And it can shift how we relate to it.

Alone Together: The Isolation Effect of Tech
We’re more “connected” than ever, yet more people feel lonely, unseen, and emotionally distant. Maybe what we need isn’t more content, but more presence.

When Motherhood Feels Heavy: Understanding Postnatal Depression
You can love your baby and still feel like a stranger in your own skin. Postnatal depression doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your mind and body are asking for care.

How Behavioural Activation Can Help with Depression
You don’t have to feel better to start, you have to start to feel better. Discover how Behavioural Activation can help you take that first small step.

What Keeps Low Self-Esteem Going?
Many of us walk through life believing we’re not good enough, lovable, or worthy. But those beliefs aren’t facts, they’re wounds. And with the right tools and support, they can heal and change.

Understanding Procrastination: Stop Delaying, Start Doing
Why do you put things off, even when you know they matter? Procrastination isn’t about laziness—it’s about avoiding discomfort, but the secret to overcoming it is simpler than you think.

The Weight of Not Enough: Understanding the Failure Schema
No achievement will ever feel like enough if you believe you are not enough. The failure schema distorts reality, making success feel hollow—breaking free starts with changing how you see yourself, not how much you accomplish.

Positive Psychology: More Than Just ‘Thinking Happy Thoughts’
Positive psychology is more than a buzzword; it’s a science-backed approach that fosters strengths, resilience, and meaningful living, rather than just fixing problems

Simple, Science-Backed Ways to Stress Less
Schemas act as the lenses through which we perceive the world, shaping how we interpret events and interactions. It’s like fine-tuning a camera’s focus; when the image sharpens, your reality becomes clearer.

Understanding Social Anxiety: More Than Just Shyness
Social anxiety isn’t just about being shy or introverted. It’s a deep, persistent fear of being judged, scrutinised, or embarrassing yourself in social situations.
Feeling overhwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained?
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, flat, or emotionally exhausted. Maybe life feels heavier than usual, like you're just going through the motions, trying to keep it all together. Whether you're navigating low mood, burnout, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck in a season you can't quite name, you don’t have to carry it by yourself.
Therapy is a space for you, to pause, reflect, and gently unpack what’s going on beneath the surface. It’s not about having all the answers or fixing everything overnight. It’s about feeling seen and supported as you take meaningful steps toward healing, clarity, and renewed hope.
In this space, your story matters. Your voice matters. And you’ll be met with compassion, not judgment. When you're ready, I'm here to walk alongside you.
