This post is to help provide understanding on why 'kids' like and others estranged from their Mums may find today exceptionally difficult.
It's heartbreaking enough when a parent hurts you. But then to dismiss or downplay it is some different kind of hurt. Add to that, siblings who also fail to validate your pain and instead question how you could have experienced childhood so differently to them.
If you want a therapist who get it, get in touch. We can work on healing and healthy boundaries.

If you’re navigating infertility, the emotional weight of treatment cycles, pregnancy loss, or the unexpected challenges of early motherhood, I am here to listen.
Postpartum can bring feelings that catch us off guard - anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, or simply not feeling like yourself. These struggles are real, and they deserve support.
In our sessions, there’s space for all of it - the grief, the worry, the exhaustion, and the hope. Together, we can work through what you’re experiencing at a pace that feels right for you.
Ready to take the first step?
PM me to book a consultation. Let’s talk about how therapy can support you through this.

The journey through infertility can feel incredibly isolating. Each negative test, each cancelled plan, each well-meaning "just relax" comment can weigh heavier than the last.

If you're navigating infertility, please know: your grief is real, your frustration is understandable, your dark thoughts matter.

I offer a space where you're truly heard-no meaningless platitudes, no rushed timelines, just room to process the complex emotions that come with this experience. I'm a therapist who has been there, and whilst I got my happy ending, I still remember the pain. I can support you:

• Navigate the grief and loss that often accompanies this journey
• Manage anxiety around treatments, appointments, and uncertainty
• Communicate with your partner when you're both struggling differently
• Set boundaries with friends and family who don't understand
• Rediscover parts of yourself beyond this struggle

Your story doesn't end here. And while counselling can't change your diagnosis, I can help you find your footing when everything feels uncertain.

You deserve support. You deserve compassion. And you deserve someone in your corner who gets it.

Are you the one who’s always “fine.”
Smiling. Showing up. Holding it together.
And quietly carrying a mind that never switches off.

That happy face? It’s a mask.
Not because you're fake, because you've learned to cope by functioning.

Here’s the truth:
CBT isn’t about digging up the past or telling you to “think positive.”
It’s about learning how your thoughts actually work and stopping them from running your life.

CBT helps you:
• Catch the overthinking before it spirals
• Challenge the harsh inner commentary you’ve normalised
• Respond instead of react
• Feel calm without pretending you’re okay

You don’t need to fall apart to get support.
You don’t need to be in crisis.
And you definitely don’t need to keep carrying it alone.

Strong women do the work.
They don’t just survive, they learn new tools 🧠✨

If this hit close to home, it might be time to take the mask off, safely, intentionally, on your terms. DM for a free 20 minute consultation call to see how therapy might work for you.
