I wonder how many conversations are happening along the lines of “it’ll be doing the grass/plants good all this rain…”, “the garden needs it” ☔️😁

I can be pretty organised but this is quite the next level 😆📝✍️

🌿 Weekend reminder

You don’t have to use the weekend to “catch up” on yourself.

You don’t have to be productive.
You don’t have to make plans.
You don’t have to socialise.
You don’t have to have everything worked out.

Sometimes looking after your mental health looks like:

☕ Having a slow morning
📱 Putting your phone down for a while
🌳 Getting outside for some fresh air
🛋️ Resting without feeling guilty
💭 Giving yourself space to process how you’re really feeling
❤️ Saying no to something when you’re already running on empty

Happy weekend everyone 😊

I’m at my capacity again for taking on new clients and very unlikely to be able to take on anyone new until around the middle of August at the earliest.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support with my private practice. ☺️

The side of working in this role that people don’t always realise… late nights after full clinic days. The work doesn’t stop after the therapeutic hour.

I love what I do but sometimes I find it difficult to manage a work-life balance and this is ironic as I spend lots of time discussing this very thing with clients 😂

Managing work around family and personal life/commitments can be hard sometimes.

I just wanted to share a bit of an honest insight to what it can be like working in Private Practice.

How much of today are we spending in tomorrow?

It’s natural to think ahead. We make plans, set goals, organise calendars, and prepare for what’s next.

But sometimes, without noticing, we begin living almost entirely in the future.

“I’ll relax when…”
“I’ll be happy once…”
“Things will feel better after…”

Future planning can give us purpose, but it can also quietly steal moments from the life we’re living now.

The future isn’t guaranteed. The only place we can actually experience life is here, in the day-to-day.

That doesn’t mean we stop planning. It simply means we don’t have to wait for a future version of life before allowing ourselves moments of peace, joy, connection, or rest.

Planning for tomorrow matters.

But so does being present for today.
