First strawberries from the garden!!

There's something about growing and then actually eating the thing you've grown that gives a proper dopamine hit. Simple, and unexpected

Sometimes we get so focused on the big things, the breakthroughs, the turning points, that we forget how much the small moments matter. The first strawberry. The dog losing her mind over it. The fact that you grew it yourself.

And yes the dog was treated to a few strawberries!

Joy doesn't have to justify itself. Sometimes it just is.

What's your version of the first strawberry this week?

This week for Pride Month I'm talking about what q***r affirmative therapy actually looks like in practice.

Not as a phrase, but as a commitment.

If you've ever had to brace yourself before being honest in a therapy room, I want you to know this is a different kind of space.

I work remotely via phone or Zoom.

I was visiting Bristol University last week, I walked in and saw these flags flying proudly, a pride flag and a trans flag.

And I smiled, genuinely.

Because visibility matters. Not as a gesture, not as a month long campaign, but as a consistent, everyday signal that says you are welcome here. All of you, exactly as you are.

For so many q***r people, walking into a new space comes with a quiet calculation. Will I be safe here? Do I need to edit myself? Will who I am be an issue?

Flags like these don't answer every question. But they shift something. They say that someone in that building thought it was important enough to make it visible, and that matters more than people might realise.

It's the same reason I talk openly about my practice being q***r affirmative. Not as a box to tick, but because I want anyone considering therapy with me to know before they even reach out that they won't have to brace themselves walking through the door.

Inclusion isn't a moment. It's a commitment.

Happy Pride Month.

I work remotely via phone or Zoom.

Growing up q***r in spaces that weren't built for you doesn't always look like one big moment. It may be the accumulation of smaller ones, the things you learned not to say, the parts of yourself you learned to manage or hide, the way you got very good at reading a room before deciding who to be in it.

That stuff settles in quietly. And it can still be there long after so much else has changed.

One of the things that can make it harder is that there isn't always a single event to point to, no obvious moment to describe, but a slow drip of experiences that, over time, left you feeling like something was wrong with you. That kind of pain can be easy to dismiss, in ourselves and in others. But the absence of one defining moment doesn't make the impact any less real.

Therapy with me can be a place to start looking at it, gently, without rushing, at whatever pace feels right. You don't have to arrive with it all figured out or a story that makes sense to anyone else.

It's Pride Month and this work that matters to me.

I work remotely via phone or Zoom.

This week for Pride Month I'm talking about the quiet, cumulative impact of growing up q***r in spaces that weren't built for you.

Those messages have a way of staying, even when so much else has changed.

If you've been thinking about therapy, I work remotely via phone or Zoom.

Look at her. Not a single care in the world.

Animals don't judge us. They don't care about our gender, our sexuality, or who we love. They just accept us.

It means something, especially during Pride Month. Because for so many q***r people, being accepted exactly as they are has been anything but simple.

The experience of being judged or having to justify who you are leaves a mark. It can make every new space feel like a risk. Every new relationship a calculation.

That's exhausting.

What I want my therapy space to feel like is a little bit like this. Somewhere you can just settle in. Without the performance. Without having to be anything other than exactly who you are.

Happy Pride Month.

I work remotely via phone or Zoom.

These peonies have been growing in my garden and I've been watching them open, slowly, at their own pace, in their own time.

And honestly they're a better reminder than anything I could put into words.

How often we expect change to happen quickly. In ourselves, in therapy, in the way we feel about our lives. We want to see the difference. We want to know it's working.

But some of the most important growth is happening before anything is visible. In the quiet, in the in between, in the moments that don't feel like progress but are.

Therapy with me isn't a quick fix, that's not a weakness of the process, it's the whole point of it. The work takes time because you took time to get here.

If you're curious about starting therapy, or wondering whether it's worth it, I work remotely via phone or Zoom and I'd love to have a conversation.

You can't build a muscle without challenging it. Without the resistance, nothing changes. The weight isn't the obstacle, it's the whole point.

I think about this a lot in my work, because the same is true of resilience, of self belief, of self confidence. Like any skill, these things don't strengthen in the absence of difficulty, they strengthen when difficulty is met with the right support alongside it.

These are my dumbbells, twenty minutes a day, weekends off. Part of my self care routine, not because I always feel like it, but because showing up consistently is how anything gets stronger.

The therapeutic work isn't so different. Small, regular, intentional. That's where the building happens.

What's the thing you keep meaning to start but haven't quite yet?

You don't need to edit yourself before you walk into my therapy room.

This is something I hold at the heart of my work. Whether you're navigating your sexuality, your gender, or trying to work out who you are underneath everything you've been told to be, therapy with me isn't a place where your identity is examined like it's something that needs fixing.

It's a place where you are met, with curiosity and care.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirmative and this Pride Month I'll be talking about what that means in practice.

I work remotely via phone or Zoom if you'd like to find out more.

It's Pride Month. And I wanted to start June by talking about what that actually means to me, as a therapist and as someone who holds the LGBTQIA+ community close, as an ally and an activist.

Pride isn't just a celebration, although the celebration matters. It's a reminder that being who you are has always been worth fighting for.

This month I'll be talking about identity, about what growing up LGBTQIA+ can do to a person, and about what LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy actually means in practice. Not as a tick box. As a commitment.

If you've been looking for a therapist who gets it, I hope this month gives you a sense of who I am and how I work. I work remotely via phone or Zoom.
