I’ve been away for a little while, taking some much-needed time to rest, recharge and step away from the everyday routine. ☀️

I’m very aware that getting away on holiday isn’t possible for everyone, and rest can look very different for each of us. Sometimes it’s a holiday, sometimes it’s a quiet cup of coffee, a walk, an afternoon doing very little, or simply giving yourself permission to relax.

Whatever it looks like, taking time to look after ourselves matters. We can’t always keep going without stopping to catch our breath.

I’m now back and my counselling diary is open again, with some appointments currently available.

So, if counselling is something you’ve been thinking about for a while, maybe now is the time to get in touch?

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you make that first step. Sometimes it’s enough simply to know that something doesn’t feel quite right and you’d like some space to talk about it.

📩 Feel free to message me if you’d like to find out more or book an appointment.

Happy to have written an article for Southport’s Journey magazine. My view ‘From the counselling room’ this month - What Are We Really Competing For? Pg 20.

August's Southport’s Journey is out now.

This month’s theme is Where Southport Grows. Not growth measured only through new buildings, investment or visitor numbers, but through confidence, participation, creativity, opportunity and belonging.

Inside the August edition, we look beyond the famous faces and floral displays of Southport Flower Show to the volunteers and local businesses who shape how the event feels. We follow the roar of the Southport Air Show, discover familiar streets on screen, open the doors to Southport’s hidden heritage and celebrate young musicians, student writers and girls finding their place in grassroots football.

There are also quieter conversations about family boundaries, comparison, sleep, confidence, AI and the pressure to have everything figured out.

Together, they document a town growing through its people, ideas and willingness to create something better.
