Back to school isn't just an adjustment for kids. 💛
While children are navigating new teachers, routines, friendships, and expectations, parents are often carrying an invisible mental load behind the scenes.
From school supplies and lunches to schedules, emails, activities, and the emotional worries that come with a new school year—parents are adjusting, too.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. 💛
Remember to offer yourself the same patience and compassion that you so often give to everyone else.
✨ As the new school year begins, take a moment to check in with yourself, too. And remember—you don't have to carry everything alone.

A quiet Friday morning. 🌿

Fresh flowers on the table. Coffee in my hands. A chocolate croissant waiting to be devoured. Minou beside me, quietly watching the birds.

The sun has just risen, and for once, I’m not rushing to meet the day.

The week felt heavy. There are things to do, lists to finish, places my mind could easily wander.

But this morning, I’m choosing something different.

I’m not doing.
I’m simply being.

Listening to the fountain. Watching the morning unfold. Taking in the little things that are so easy to miss when we’re moving too quickly.

Sometimes self-care is not another thing to add to our list. Sometimes it’s creating a little space to breathe, to reconnect, and to remember that we don’t always have to be doing something.

We can simply be.

And maybe, in those quiet moments, we can ask ourselves:

What do I need today?

Then give ourselves permission to listen. 🤍

🌿 Meet Camara, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Spero Counselling & Psychotherapy. Camara supports clients navigating anxiety and depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. With a collaborative, compassionate, and curiosity-driven approach, Camara creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, their emotions, and their relationships. She believes that therapy is a space for both insight and practical tools, helping clients identify underlying patterns, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Her work also incorporates the Gottman Method when supporting couples.

Outside the therapy room, Camara loves travelling, trying new foods, and spending time with her husband, kids, and their dog. ✈️🍴🐾 These experiences keep her grounded, curious, and connected — values she brings into her work as a therapist.

"Leadership isn't about having all the answers — it's about building the right supports, creating strong systems, and creating a culture where people can thrive."

I started Spero Counselling and Psychotherapy as a solo therapist in 2014. Today I lead a team of six. I'll be on stage at the BYPP 10th Birthday Celebration on September 25 sharing what that path actually looked like — and what I'd tell myself at the beginning.

When I started Spero Counselling and Psychotherapy, I was holding everything — clinical work, admin, hiring, bookkeeping — and I knew something had to change.

Today I lead a team of six, with real structure built around every part of the practice.

What I'm most proud of isn't the team I built. It's the leader I became.

I'll be on stage at the BYPP 10th Birthday Celebration on September 25 sharing what that journey actually looked like.
