Parent carers deserve a September reset too. ❤️

Last night inside The Village, we talked about:

🌿 Preparing ourselves for the holidays

🌿 Protecting our energy and wellbeing

🌿 Preparing for the transition back to school or college

🌿 Supporting those we love without completely running ourselves into the ground

And September is bringing something special…

✨ An online Parent Carer Retreat ✨

A chance to pause, breathe, reconnect with yourself and receive some much-needed TLC after the intensity of summer — while gently preparing for the months ahead.

And for September, you can join The Village for just £20 (normally £25).

You'll get the full Village experience — community, live calls, resources, app access and the September retreat.
No obligation to continue after September.

Not ready to join? You're welcome to come along to one of our calls completely free and see if The Village feels like your kind of space.

It's not counselling. It's not coaching.

It's a space for parent carers to breathe, connect and feel a little less alone.

💌 Message me for the details.

I didn't create The Parent Reset Room because I thought parent carers needed "another support group."

I created it because I know what it's like to live with a nervous system that never truly gets to rest.

To be listening even when the house is quiet.

To carry the mental load every minute of every day.

To feel exhausted, yet unable to switch off.

As both a counsellor and a parent carer, I've seen how easy it is to put everyone else's needs before your own.

But when we're constantly living in survival mode, our bodies eventually begin to tell us they need something different.

That's why The Parent Reset Room isn't about fixing you.

Because you're not broken.

It's about giving your nervous system one hour each week to experience calm, connection and gentle restoration alongside other parent carers who understand.

No pressure to share.

No expectation to have it all together, far from it.

Just come as you are.

Just a warm welcome, a cup of tea, gentle breathwork and a space where you can simply breathe.

Launching this September.

I'm opening a Founding Members list soon, with an introductory price of £8 per session (usual price £10).

If this feels like something you've been needing, keep an eye on my page over the coming weeks.

I'd love to welcome you.

Sometimes the bravest thing someone can do is ask for support.

I'm incredibly grateful to this client for allowing me to share their experience. Their words are shared with permission, have been anonymised, and are posted to protect their confidentiality.

If you've been carrying the weight of everything on your own, feeling overwhelmed, burnt out or simply not like yourself, you don't have to keep doing it alone.

Counselling offers a confidential, compassionate space where you can begin to make sense of what's going on, at your own pace.

If this resonates with you, you're welcome to get in touch for an informal chat about how I might be able to help.

What is Parent Reset?

It's an hour that's just for you.

☕ Tea and coffee.
💛 Time with people who understand.
💫 Laughter and joy.
🌿 Gentle breathwork.
🧘 Nervous system regulation.
😌 Space to let your shoulders drop.

This isn't counselling.
It isn't coaching.

It's a supportive wellbeing group designed to help parent carers step out of survival mode and reconnect with themselves.

Because you can't pour from an empty cup.

Bookings open soon.

Have you noticed how many parent carers only stop when they're forced to?

When everyone else is settled.

When the house is quiet.

When there's nothing left to give.

Living with aggression, meltdowns or challenging behaviour means your nervous system rarely gets the message that it's safe.

That's not weakness.
It's biology.

This September I'm opening Parent Reset.

A weekly nervous system support group where parent carers can finally exhale.

Because you deserve support too.

More details coming soon but places will be limited. To register your interest send a message or email [email protected]

As a believer in the whole person and a holistic approach to wellbeing and healing, I take balance seriously.

So today I readdressed my own balance by starting Taekwando.

Have you stopped to think about the balance in your life right now?

In what way you could make sure that it is as good as possible for your wellbeing?

Remember if you need someone to talk to, do reach out.

When accessible support just isn't accessible.

When therapy and support are inaccessible
