Parenting for confidence, not for comfort. 💛

When a child comes to me struggling, I always start in the same place - with their parents.

Not to find fault but to find context. Children’s behaviour almost always makes sense once we understand the world around them.

A few gentle patterns worth noticing:-

• Anxious parenting - when our own worries gets passed on, kids can learn the world is scary before they’ve had the chance to find out for themselves.

• Stepping in too soon - fixing every fallout or mistake feels loving, but it can quietly say “you can’t manage this without me.”

• Wanting to be liked - I’ve always found this one tricky. Boundaries aren’t always popular in the moment, but kids don’t need a parent who’s liked right now. They need one they can trust, consistently.

None of this is about getting it wrong. It’s about staying curious. That’s where the good work begins.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You’re not alone - and you definitely don’t have to navigate it on your own.

I’ve just launched my psychotherapy practice - remote & face to face - designed for people who want real change without the fluff. Whether it’s about getting out of your own way or finding fresh perspective, I’ll bring empathy, insight - and yes, a dash of humour -to every session.

For private clients:- Honest, compassionate support tailored to you. No jargon, no judgement - just a safe space to figure things out.
For fellow therapists: Clinical supervision that’s as thoughtful as it is practical, with plenty of room for growth and reflection.

Curious? Check out https://www.lornaharvey.co.uk/ or drop me a message. Let’s see how we can make things feel better, together.

Because life’s too short for stuck moments.

📚 Books That Shaped My Practice

Drop the Ball : Tiffany Dufu

Early in my work with women, I kept hearing the same story in different forms:- the intense pressure some of us feel to do everything perfectly.

Perfect partner.
Perfect mum.
Perfect daughter.
Perfect professional.
Perfect organiser of everyone else’s lives.

Reading Drop the Ball shifted something for me. Dufu challenges the idea that women must carry the entire mental load and instead explores what happens when we let go of perfection and control.

This has shaped how I work with women around burnout, invisible labour, and unrealistic self-expectations.

Sometimes the therapeutic work isn’t about helping someone do more.

It’s helping them realise they’re allowed to do less.

Takeaway line I often think about:

“You don’t have to do it all — and the world won’t collapse if you drop a few balls.” 😉

Following the success of my Exam Stress Workshops I’m now offering 1:1 sessions for young people in the run up to exam season. We’ll follow the (no) ‘PROBS’ framework focussing on Preparation, Resilience, Optimism, Behaviours & Success. Procrastination has been a constant theme throughout these sessions and the direct link between this unhelpful behaviour and stress can’t be ignored. Please contact me to book the student in your life a stress relieving session asap [email protected]
