What does you best life look like ?

17/09/2026

Some of you have possibly noticed that I haven’t been as active on social media for the last couple of months.
I needed a little rest due to a few health issues. The good old NHS has said roughly another 6 months wait for my gallstone surgery , so in the meantime I’m taking things a little slower.
So , I’m still working but I’ve cut down to a 3 day week which is more manageable for me.
I’m available for in person appointments on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.
9am to 5pm - working the odd evening if needed.
Please contact me the usual way.

Life is not meant to be all work.

It’s an equal balance of work, rest, and play. 🌿

Work gives us purpose.
Rest gives us space to breathe.
Play reminds us that we’re here to actually live.

You don’t have to earn your rest.
You don’t have to be productive every moment.
And you don’t have to feel guilty for enjoying your life.

A healthy life has room for all three. 🤍

. Rest. Play. Repeat.

Love & Connection ❤️

21/08/2026

Love, connection, and the human need to belong. ❤️

We’re wired for relationships.
To be seen, heard, understood, touched, challenged and loved.
So it’s understandable that some people may find comfort and even intimacy in relationships with AI or robots.

But there’s a danger we shouldn’t ignore.

A robot can simulate empathy without actually experiencing it. It can be endlessly available, agreeable and tailored to our needs but real relationships involve another human being with their own needs, boundaries, imperfections and freedom.

If technology becomes a substitute for human connection rather than a tool that supports it, we risk creating a world where we feel less lonely in the moment, but more disconnected from one another over time.

AI can talk to us. It can comfort us. It can even feel remarkably personal.

But human connection is more than being responded to.

It’s being known by another human being who is free to choose you.

The question isn’t whether robots can become companions.

It’s whether, in making connection easier, we might accidentally make genuine human connection harder. ❤️

One of the most powerful messages in the poem If is that emotional strength isn’t about never feeling overwhelmed, hurt, angry, or afraid.

It’s about learning not to let those feelings make every decision for you.

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”

That isn’t a call to suppress emotion.
It’s an invitation to develop self-regulation , to pause, breathe, tolerate uncertainty, and choose your response rather than simply reacting.

The poem also speaks beautifully to resilience:
You can lose and begin again.
You can be misunderstood without abandoning yourself.
You can be surrounded by chaos and still hold on to your values.

From a therapeutic perspective, that is part of emotional maturity: not controlling everything around you, but learning to stay grounded within yourself.

You don’t have to be unshakeable.

You just have to keep finding your way back to yourself. 🤍
