Anyone else a bit warm? 😂

Glued to a fan wherever I go today! Luckily, my therapy room is an okay temperature with a fan on 😅

Remember everyone, stay hydrated (especially if on anti-depressant medication), stay in the shade and/or top up the sun tan lotion 🩵

And above all, enjoy the sunshine ☀️

☕️ Did you know that caffeine doesn’t actually give us more energy?

😴 In fact, I just switches off our ‘tired’ messages for a while so that we keep pushing through. Which makes sense why can then have a caffeine/energy crash later in the day.

📖 I discovered this whilst reading ‘stolen focus’ by Johann Hari which is a brilliant read!

💚 I really love coffee and I’m not saying every one should give it up, I just wonder how much we underestimate our ‘tired’ signals and how listening to our bodies can enable us to give our bodies what they need, when they need it.

💭 What are your thoughts on this idea?

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a photo of my lovely cosy therapy room based just off of chepstow high street.

I’m a counsellor, EMDR therapist and mental health nurse and have been supporting people for the past 14 years.

I specialise in trauma and eating disorders however I have supported people with a range of difficulties and mental health conditions over the years.

I have a little bit of availability so if you think you might like support, why not get in touch for a free 15 minute call to see if I could be the right person to support you?

You can DM me on here or via my website below

🩵 A mindfulness getaway in nature 🩵

Rhayader is just beautiful and the sun helps too! ☀️

🌳The more time we spend in nature and actually stop to listen to it, the more we connect, reenergise and stay in the present moment

🫤Too often we’re reflecting on the past or worrying about the future

Sometimes, we need to just breathe and be present ☺️

Specialist therapist in Binge Eating Disorder

Ever find yourself feeling out of control with food?
Falling into patterns of all or nothing?
Consumed by dieting and pressure of how you 'should' look?

I'm Rachel and I am a mental health nurse and counsellor who specialises in supporting people with a range of eating disorders. I especially love supporting people who struggle with binge eating (whether you have a diagnosis or not, or just find you fall into these eating patterns in general).

I am not a weight loss service, but a therapist who can help you feel in control of your eating again and improve your perception of your body image.

I offer a safe and welcoming space in Chepstow and can offer online too. If you'd like to have a free 15 minute phone call with me first to ask questions, then we can arrange that too 🩵
