What masking really looks like...
Many neurodivergent people become experts at hiding struggle. It becomes a coping strategy for many of us, but, at the same time it can be exhausting 😞 😞

Looking “fine” doesn’t always mean feeling fine. Believe it or not we can hide these things really well.

Masking can look like people-pleasing, perfectionism, exhaustion, burnout, anxiety, or constantly second-guessing yourself.

Sometimes the strongest-looking people are carrying the heaviest load.

We want people to feel confident to let the mask drop sometimes, or, even leave it at home from time to time. Be kind to yourself being Neurodivergent has it's challenges, but when you feed into your strengths it can be really powerful and satisfying.

Let us help you get to that place, It can be a game changer 👍️ 👍️

I live in a neuro-spicy home so I know the importance of supporting families in the same situations.

Living in a neuro-spicy household can be beautifully chaotic, emotional, funny, exhausting, and deeply connected all at once. Managing all of this at once can often feel really overwhelming, and can lead to negative feelings about yourself as a parent/carer. Then before you know it your thinking that you are failing 😞 😞

Families often aren’t failing, they’re navigating systems that weren’t designed with them in mind.

Compassion matters. Navigating this times time and support, but, it's about finding the right support, not just anything.

We can help with this, we have workshops, coaching, family work and parenting workshops that actually target the difficulties, nothing generic, real life skills that you can walk away with and feel more confident.

🌿 Self-Care Sunday 🌿

This weekend has been all about creating a little pocket of calm in my back garden.

As someone who spends much of my time supporting the wellbeing of others, I know how important it is to intentionally create spaces that support our own wellbeing too. Self-care doesn't always have to be spa days or grand gestures; sometimes it's simply spending a few hours outdoors, tidying, planting, arranging furniture, and creating a space where you can pause, breathe, and recharge.

I'm hoping the British summer might eventually make an appearance, I've been feeling motivated to transform my garden into a place for relaxation, reflection, and mindful moments. A space to enjoy a morning coffee, listen to the birds (we get loads), or simply sit quietly after a busy day.

Creating environments that promote calm can have a powerful impact on our mental wellbeing. Our surroundings influence how we feel, and even small changes can help us feel more grounded, present, and restored.

Obviously we have a long way to go, but i know all this hard work will pay off. There's nothing more gratifying than seeing your hard work come together.

What have you done for your wellbeing this weekend?

Before my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD she was in a mainstream school, and, everyday she would come home in tears saying that people don't understand her, they think she's weird, and that she doesn't fit in.
People were judging her, including teachers before they actually got to know her and she was the classic "naughty kid" in school. Why?, cause she couldn't sit still, would shout out without waiting and would get easily distracted.

She would get constantly told off and due to this she would become really upset and not want to go.

If your a parent of a neurodivergent child you will totally get this, it's absolutely heartbreaking watching your child grow up in a world that just wasn't made for you, with lots of people that don't understand why you do certain things.

My mission in life has been to try to change the way schools identify, understand and teach neurodivergent children, but, also help the staff too.

If you want to understand more about this then please reach out, we'd love to support you too - [email protected]

PS - this is my beautiful daughter, dancing to "Beat it" in our back garden, thinking our concrete pad is her stage hahaha

One thing I’ve learned in life is this: showing up matters.

Showing up for yourself on the days you feel motivated, but especially on the days you don’t.

Showing up for others when it’s easier to stay quiet, too busy, or distracted.

It sounds simple, but over time, consistently showing up shapes your life more than big moments ever do.

The small acts matter. The messages you send. The support you offer. The promises you keep to yourself. The days you keep going even when progress feels invisible.

Because trust, growth, confidence, relationships, resilience, they’re all built through consistency.

You don’t always have to show up perfectly. You just have to keep showing up.

Over time, that changes everything. This year has been my game changer, I've achieved so many things already that i am proud of. Some days have been really challenging but I have kept going.

What’s one way you’ve learnt to show up for yourself or others lately?

Having somewhere that you feel safe is so important. It could be anywhere in the world, it’s just the place you feel safe, secure and gives you the opportunity to be able to rest and recharge, where’s your safe place? 😊

Self care Sunday 🌞 🌞

There’s something about the Lake District that feels like home to me ❤️ ❤️

No matter how busy life or business becomes, this is the place that helps me slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters.

It’s my happy place.

The stillness, the mountains, the lakes, the endless space to think, it gives me something I struggle to find anywhere else: clarity.

Some of my best ideas for my business have arrived while walking a quiet trail, sitting with a coffee looking over the water, or simply giving myself permission to pause.

Stepping away doesn’t mean stepping back. Sometimes, recharging is exactly what allows us to move forward with more creativity, purpose, and energy.

For me, the Lake District is where I reset, relax, and return to myself, and somehow, I always come back with fresh ideas and renewed motivation.

Where’s your place to recharge? ✨

Some days, being neurodivergent can feel really heavy.

The overthinking. The self-doubt. The constant pressure to fit into a world that doesn’t always feel built for you. And sometimes, the hardest part isn’t any of that, it’s how unkind you can end up being to yourself along the way.

Holding yourself to impossible standards. Questioning your worth. Speaking to yourself in ways you would never speak to anyone else.

But you deserve kindness too.

You deserve patience on the days your mind feels loud. You deserve understanding when things feel overwhelming. And you deserve to give yourself the same compassion you so freely give to others.

So this is your reminder, be gentle with yourself. You’re doing better than you think, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it 🤍

When I first started EK Psychotherapies, all I wanted to do was make a difference in the mental health world.

I didn’t start this journey thinking about awards, recognition, panels, partnerships, or growth. I simply wanted to create something meaningful, something that genuinely helped people.

Since then, the journey has become more than I ever imagined.

We’ve raised money for charity.
I’ve had the privilege of becoming an expert panel member for Health Connect.
We’ve collaborated with an incredible training company, giving us the opportunity to deliver impactful mandatory training to businesses.
And most recently, we’ve launched our neurodivergence assessment and diagnostic pathway, something I’m unbelievably proud of.

Looking back, I realise I’ve been setting goals along the way without even fully recognising how big they were at the time… and somehow, we’ve gone on to absolutely smash them.

There have been challenges, long days, moments of doubt, and a lot of learning, but seeing how far EK Psychotherapies has come fills me with so much pride.

And to top it all off, being recognised by the Small Business Big Business Awards UK as TWO-TIME finalists for EK Psychotherapies honestly means the world.

It’s a reminder that when you lead with passion, purpose, and people at the heart of what you do, amazing things can happen.

This is only the beginning 🤩 🤩
