Are you close to burning out?

Do you find yourself being constantly tired and unmotivated, but the same time struggle to rest and sleep? You might notice being cynical, like the things you are doing don’t matter. Would you like to stop procrastination or feeling stuck mindlessly scrolling on your phone in your free time?

Counselling with me can help you to rediscover your own strengths, find joy in life and feel like yourself again, so you can face the future with confidence and purpose.

Research shows that online therapy works just as well as meeting in person, and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Dealing with Disenfranchised Grief After Liam Payne’s Death If you’re feeling heartbroken over Liam Payne’s death but unsure how to express it, you’re not alone. Losing someone like Liam, who was part of many of our lives through music and media, can cause what’s known as disenfranchised grief—a type of grief that isn’t always recognized or supported by others. People might say, “You didn’t know him personally,” but the connection we form with public figures, especially when they’ve been a part of our lives for years, is real. It’s okay to feel that loss deeply, even if some people don’t get it. Grief isn’t just for close friends or family—it’s for anyone who made an impact on your life. Don’t feel like your emotions are invalid. Talk to others who feel the same, share your memories, and give yourself permission to process the loss in your own way. Liam’s music and legacy live on, and your feelings are valid. #grief #disenfranchisedgrief #liampayne #onedirectionfamily #onedirection #onedirectionfacts
Life is an unpredictable journey filled with both joyous moments and unexpected challenges. No matter how much we try to control the external events around us, change is inevitable. However, despite the uncertainty that life brings, there is a constant source of peace that we can tap into—our inner selves. Finding inner peace is not about avoiding problems or running away from difficulties, but about building resilience and cultivating a sense of calm that remains unaffected by what unfolds around us. Today, on the International Day of Peace I would like to invite you to join me for 3 minutes of Tapping to help you shift your worries, and fears and cultivate inner peace. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping is a quick working and effective tool. If you feel that tapping brought some strong emotions to the surface, do not stop. Keep tapping through the acupressure points until you feel calmer. Leave a comment, tell me what the experience was like for you. #international #day #InternationalDayOfPeace #innerpeace #innerstrength #efttapping #efttappingtherapy #efttappingpoints #efttappingpractitioner #efttappingscripts
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be starting my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training this week! EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps people heal from trauma and emotional distress. I can’t wait to integrate this valuable skill into my practice and better support my clients on their healing journeys. Stay tuned for updates! #emdr #emdrtherapy #emdrtherapist #counselling #psychotherapy
Struggling in a heatwave? Try a cooling breathing technique with me! Simply breathe in through your mouth with a rolled tongue and exhale through your nose, or breathe in through your mouth with teeth together and exhale through your nose. This quick and easy method not only helps you cool down in hot weather or during hot flushes, but also reduces feelings of agitation and anger. Stay calm, cool, and collected with this refreshing technique! #cooling #breathingtechniques #selfhelp #hotflush #heatwave

“Connection is why we’re here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives and without it there is suffering.”
