Today marks 7 years of being in private practice. What a journey it’s been—a true labour of love, one that continues to evolve and teach me every single day.

When I first started, my why was simple: I wanted the flexibility to fit around childcare and school life. But over the years, I realised my deeper why was so much bigger than that. It was about creating a life that I was in control of. Choosing, every day, to do work I genuinely care about. Building something that aligns with my values and rarely feels like “work” because I feel so passionate about it.

The number 7 has long been associated with completeness, wisdom, growth and transformation. Across cultures and throughout history, it symbolises something meaningful, and reflecting on these past seven years, that feels fitting.

For me, 7 represents consistency—something I didn’t always have growing up. It represents stability, creating a secure life for myself and my family, growth through every challenge, learning from mistakes without letting them define me, embracing change, and trusting that I am capable, even when I’ve doubted myself.

The phrase “the seven-year itch” did make me smile. If anything, reaching this milestone has had the opposite effect. I’ve never felt the urge to close my practice, change careers, or look elsewhere. Instead, it’s reaffirmed that this is exactly where I’m meant to be.

To every client—past, present and future—thank you. Thank you for trusting me, for allowing me the privilege of walking alongside you, and for reminding me every day why I chose this path.

Here’s to another year of connection, presence, growth, and the simple but powerful impact of human-to-human kindness. 🤍

Today marks 5 years having my own business!

The number 5 means many things in different cultures, freedom, change, good luck, high energy….. but for me I always remember reading in so many places how most new businesses don’t make it past 5 years. To get to half a decade and only really be starting to change and push my business scope I couldn’t imagine it ending now or anytime in the near future. I am so truly proud of myself for keeping at it, rolling with the hard times and creating a space that people want to come into.

My business is named after my late grandfather who was the kindness and most magical person I’ve had in my life, he was wise and he listened a lot to everyone, especially me. Part of him is within my business, he enabled me to see what empathy and understanding looked like it its truest form.

As I reflect over the last 5 years the thousands of hours of therapy I have provided, courses undertaken, accreditation, affiliation, practice moves, lessons learned, celebrations had I feel truly fulfilled by my work, my business, my colleagues and peers. My work isn’t just a job it’s part of who I am so to be accepted by so many is not only heart warming but brings the biggest smile to my inner child who didn’t often have the same experience.

Thank you to all my clients and friends past and present for being part of this process, without you trusting me and choosing to work with me none of this would be a possibility! So here’s to many many more….xx
