‘Become so full of love that your
presence feels like home to
those who have forgotten
where home is.’

Rumi

🏡 The most beautiful place of all to reach is in becoming this for yourself.

🩵 To find this refuge first and foremost within, before we can expect to find it in another.

🏡 From this valuing place within ourselves, all other relationships will spring.

🩵 As you’ve come home to yourself.

🏡 In being your safe space.

🩵 To finally reach a peaceful place within, through the trauma, through the grief and through abject pain.

🏡 To be able to meet yourself at a new beginning, opening the door which leads back home to love.

🩵 This is the gift of therapy, pure and true.

These are a collection of my favourite moon photos, poems and quotes.

Do you ever find yourself looking up at the moon with such awe and wonder that you almost feel her drawing you in?

It’s a strong, celestial connection I’ve always felt to our dear Luna.

As a 2 year old, legend has it, I would climb out of my cot, in my long blue nightdress and sit up by the window, speaking gibberish whilst pointing up at the moon.

Some may tell you nothing much has changed here 😆 but this connection is still just as potent and real.

Just like the moon we must pass through phases of absolute emptiness, in order to feel full again.

Within this cyclical process of resilience we meet life over and over again through periods of emptiness, in the shadow of adversity, echoing the new moon phase as we cycle back round to feeling less empty, gaining back our energy and radiance in more of a full moon state of being.

I meet my clients within their new moon phases of life, where we begin to navigate our way towards the sun together. By noticing, learning and growing in our search for truth and light.

As with the phases of the moon, the therapeutic process possesses a celestial quality that can’t be put into words.

Where positive shifts happen within the re-experiencing of self within difficult life phases, in the presence of a trusted other.

Trusting in the brightest truth of all at the end of our therapeutic cycle, that we do not have to be whole, in order to shine.

I’m turning 50 on Sunday, so I’ve been reflecting back over my life, trying to join some of the dots from my early years.

Finding this classic 70’s snap, complete with the brown flowery wallpaper, helped transport me back in time.

It pictures my 3rd birthday where I was so excited to be dressed as a nurse and to have my best friend Debbie over.. I loved the Mr Men and caring for my dollies.

Looking back on these early years, in many of my memories, I recall playing by myself at home, lost in my imagination, my Mum invariably in another part of the house cleaning, ironing, cooking or sewing.

I remember her instructing me not to disturb her, so I inevitably felt very lonely and this happened most weekday mornings.

Having been denied this essential relational connection with her early on, unfortunately this manifested within me as an anxious ambivalent attachment style and co-dependency.

Which has been challenging to work through and overcome, as experienced by so many with similar beginnings.

Mum, as with all parents, brought me up from her frame of reference, unconsciously repeating relational patterns and deficits from her own life experience.

She truly did the best she could with the tools she’d been given, especially as she was battling poor health too at this time.

My needs were met on a physical level, yet it was my need for secure emotional attachment, cuddles and connection with her that sadly lay adrift.

So let’s reignite this conversation about attachment and the importance of meeting those early needs which shape us as adults.

Let’s take responsibility for our mental wellbeing if we are aware of these deficits in our own upbringing, to heal these wounds before we pass them down the generations, that is my birthday wish this year.

The parenting we receive sets us up for life and determines how we give and receive love in the future, which ripples out into our wider world.

It is key for our secure early development and yet many new parents are in the dark about it, so let’s change that ❤️

Somewhere out there, someone you once met is holding the brightest flame so tenderly within their heart, because of the way you treated them.

They may have wanted to give up on the notion of love since then, but they didn’t, because of YOU.

Such hope. Such kindness. Such love heals.

As I fast approach my 50th year on our beautiful earth, I’ve found myself looking back on my life and reflecting upon all the women I have been, and mostly still am, and I thought it worth celebrating!

These different phases I have moved through have made me who I am today, as difficult and challenging as some have been, they have given me the wisdom and life experience that have undoubtedly accentuated my work and have enabled me to offer a level of empathy and understanding, conveyed within an inner knowing, to those I sit with on a daily basis.

I have long believed “we are the sum of our experiences” (B J Neblett) and intrinsically feel that our identities, beliefs, values, and perspectives are not innate but are formed and continually shaped by everything we encounter throughout our lives.

Not only the significant, life-altering events but also the seemingly mundane, everyday interactions and observations.

Every joy, sorrow, success, failure, relationship, and challenge contributes to the complex tapestry of who we are.

It’s a holistic view of selfhood, rejecting the notion of a fixed, unchanging essence, and one that makes so much sense to me.

As it proposes that we are constantly evolving, adapting, and being molded by the world around us.

If our lives enable and allow us to align ourselves with our full potential, we will find the ability to grow and seek out opportunities for learning, growth and connection.

Much as I somehow managed to as a single parent on a minimum wage, powered by determination and a lifelong dream that wouldn’t let me give up, as I innately knew I had the power to curate my future and to actively shape the therapist I hoped to become.

Trusting this about myself and the instinct I seemed to have for the work, has been my driving force forward, now seen in real time, within my clients lives who are fulfilling their own dreams having worked through and embraced all of their different phases and roles they have had to be, and maybe still are, before they could meet themselves so fully in today.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be.” - Carl Rogers

This is such a beautiful concept and as simple as it seems, it’s also a remarkably difficult one to put into practice.

I have noticed within myself this week a pull to want to offer an intervention with my clients, noticing the rescuer part of me wishing to swoop in to bring about perhaps a less organic shift than allowing one to unfold more naturally within their growing understanding of themselves, and of themselves within the therapeutic relationship with me.

Finding this wonderful quote and a gentle reminder from my lovely supervisor, brought me full circle within my core Person-Centred training, to remember we can happily watch a sunset without needing to improve it.

We do not request it to become softer, brighter or more convenient.

All there is room for in that moment is simply to observe its beauty and allow it to unfold just as it is.

Our need to change, advise, correct or move our clients towards where we think they should be disappears, as so much becomes possible when we stand out the way of their view of everything, allowing them to fully embrace the essence of themselves, however raw or painful that might be.

Client led interventions have their place within this process of course, when introduced to develop a key theme or to accentuate a thought, an idea or a question.

Yet time and again this work shows me, there is no more effective tool than simply being present with our clients, letting them just be with themselves and in relationship with us as they meet themselves anew in all they wish to explore and discover.

You are listening to my song ‘Hello sunshine’ sung by yours truly ☺️

Finding a creative outlet for all we hold inside is one of the most cathartic ways we can express, release and process our emotions and struggles.

I’ve always found writing such a great way of allowing layers of experience to re-emerge along with the inevitable and often complicated emotions and sometimes trauma that have taken seed as a result.

This is why, as well implementing integrative interventions and approaches in my client work, the option for clients to express themselves in whichever inventive ways feel right for them are also always available.

Creative therapy takes healing to another level, where clients show me their heart and soul in such moving ways, their deepest most precious creations, and a glimpse at the more vulnerable and tender layers to them, which has an amazing way of opening the work up to new and deeper layers of discovery and understanding.

As when we meet ourselves in creative ways, a direct pathway to the younger parts of us can be more easily accessed.

Often these outlets weren’t encouraged in us as children, which can impede the development of a strong and dynamic sense of self.

So providing clients with a second chance to recreate these developmentally needed qualities in therapy later in life, gives those who were denied free creative expression the chance to fully develop and heal those young, wounded parts of themselves, helping them cultivate and enjoy a more meaningful and fulfilled life.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

On the eve of the very first day of autumn, may this exquisite season of the soul invite us to slow down and reflect on the passing of time.

As we watch the leaves transform into breathtaking hues of red, orange and gold, let’s be reminded of the transient nature of life itself, its cycles and fragility.

Autumn time provides a gentle nudge to pause and ponder our own journeys.

Just as the trees shed their leaves, may we be inspired to try and let go of and learn from anything that may hinder our own growth, embracing this opportunity for renewal, which can be explored within therapy.

Happily this Autumn time I am able to extend a warm invitation to those of you who may be seeking a gentle and nurturing therapeutic space to guide your own renewal and growth.

As for the first time this year I am able to offer a number of therapy spaces to new clients, coinciding so beautifully with this season of ‘letting go,’ so please reach out if you are curious about starting therapy with me.

My hand is outstretched in genuine care, ready to receive yours.

‘Give us gladness that connects
with the Friend, a taste of the quick,
you that make a cypress strong
and jasmine, jasmine.

Give us the inner listening
that is a way in itself
and the oldest thirst there is.

Don’t measure it out with a cup.
I am a fish. You are the moon.
You cannot touch me, but your light
can fill the ocean where I live.’

🐠🌙🐠🌙🐠

This is my favourite poem written by the 13th century Persian poet and Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi.

It conjures up so many feelings and much the same as the ocean, our emotions are ever changing with the ebb and flow of life, we are fluid beings and cannot be kept at just one state.

For me, Rumi’s message speaks of self trust, recognising our inner voice which holds all the truth and light we are seeking, it has always been there, moving from life to life along with our essence, filling us to the brim, the greatest expanse as the ocean, and all we have to do is dip our toes in.

What does Rumi’s poem mean to you?

🪽🪶🪽🪶🪽

You deserve to be loved, to receive the encouragement to want to soar to the greatest heights.

In my therapy room I see those whose wings have been clipped, also those whose wings have been ripped clean off.

Many clients cannot believe they even deserve a pair wings in the first place, feeling completely invisible and of no importance at all.

Feather by feather I help them see their worth, their infinite value and their full potential.

They experience these values through my total belief in them, where a genuine caring and heartfelt fondness is reflected back to them, as fledgling wings begin to form.

It’s the gift of therapy, and the beautiful part is, we all can add another feather to each other’s wings if we want to, the world over, it all begins with kindness, presence, thoughtfulness, patience and encouragement.

So whose wings could you add another feather to today?
