📢 CALLING ALL COUNSELLORS AND PSYCHOTHERAPISTS 📢

Thinking about setting up in private practice? Already there? Or wondering whether your practice could be working better for you?

🎉COMING SOON

“Setting up a Successful Therapy Practice.”

A 2 hour online Masterclass.

After 26 years of delivering Psychotherapy and running my own practice, I’ve learned a thing or two about what works… and what really doesn’t!

So, in October, I’m going to share it all.

No complicated theory and not a textbook approach - just real world experience, practical advice, mistakes, lessons learned and things I wish someone had told me when I started.

We’ll look at everything from attracting clients and setting fees, to boundaries, cancellations, marketing and managing your diary. And most importantly, building a practice that actually works for you.

• Online via Teams
• Just 10 places
• £20 per person
• October - exact date to follow

I’m now taking expressions of interest from counsellors and psychotherapists who would like to join me.

Why October? Because I want you to have time to take what you learn, put it into practice and make those changes before January, so that you can start the New Year with a fresh approach to your practice 🎉

If you’d like to be one of the 10, send me a message and I’ll add you to the list.

More details coming soon 🌸🌸

🌸Saturday Thoughts from the Therapy Room🌸

Sometimes we’re not looking for an answer; we’re looking for permission -

Permission to leave.

Permission to stay.

Permission to change our mind.

Permission to disappoint someone.

Permission to stop explaining ourselves.

Permission to admit that something isn’t working.

Permission to want something different.

Sometimes permission doesn’t have to be profound. Sometimes it’s purely giving ourselves permission to be silly, spontaneous and a little bit ridiculous!

And sometimes, the person we are waiting to give us that permission…

is ourself 🫶🧡

Perhaps we spend too much time waiting for somebody else to tell us that it’s okay to choose what we already know we need.

There isn’t always going to be a unanimous vote.

Sometimes there won’t even be another person who agrees with us.

And that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re making the wrong choice.

Sometimes, we simply have to trust ourselves enough to say “I’m allowed to choose this.”

I LOVE when pictures come up on my memories ❤️

My baby days were some of my absolute favourite times. When my children were small, I delighted within that 'bubble' and I cannot deny that I miss those days and these sunshiney, little faces 🥰

Fast forward 10 years and my wonderful daughters still light me up! My role as mother is my best and most treasured achievement. I never wanted to be anything other than a mummy.

I was a Psychotherapist long before any of these children were even born. And whilst the career I pursued is more of a vocation than a job, I'm glad I get to balance it with my other role in life - "Mum".

Blessed every day. Thankful every day. Awestruck every day ❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶

🌸Saturday Thoughts from the Therapy Room 🌸

Did you know, your brain isn’t always telling you the truth!

One of the things I find myself saying in the therapy room quite often is -

“Thoughts are not facts, they’re just thoughts.”

Our brains are incredibly clever. They are constantly scanning, predicting, making connections and trying to keep us safe.

But sometimes they get it wrong!

An anxious brain can turn “What if something goes wrong?” into “Something is definitely going to go wrong.”

A worried brain can turn “They haven't replied yet” into “I've obviously upset them.”

A self-critical brain can turn “I made a mistake” into “I'm useless.”

And because the thought is happening inside our own head, it can feel like fact.

But there is a really important difference between having a thought and believing a thought

Try adding these little words -

“I'm having the thought that..”

It creates just a tiny bit of distance.

Instead of -

“Nobody likes me.”

Try -

“I'm having the thought that nobody likes me.”

Instead of -

“I can't cope.”

Try -

“I'm having the thought that I can't cope.”

That little shift can remind us that thoughts are not instructions, predictions or facts. They are simply thoughts, and they can be questioned.

We can’t control the thoughts that come into our head. And that’s ok. And maybe the goal isn’t about trying to stop difficult thoughts; maybe it's about becoming a little less willing to believe every thought our brain gives us 🫶🧡

What if your next thought isn't something you have to believe, but something you can simply notice?

This occurred to me today, whilst watching the new Moana movie with my girls, and it’s troubling me somehow. I’ll share -

We still have goddess and god - yet manageress and actress have largely disappeared in favour of manager and actor.

We celebrate the girl boss, but seem less comfortable with businesswoman. We still say ladies and gentlemen, while increasingly searching for completely gender-neutral language.

We have mother and father - words that carry enormous emotional weight, while somehow becoming increasingly cautious about what it means to be feminine or masculine.

We have princess, which can be an insult, and queen, which is usually a compliment. Make that one make sense?!

And once upon a time we had authoress, poetess, sculptress and all sorts of other feminine versions of words. We moved away from them because women didn't need a separate, lesser-sounding version of a profession.

And I agree with that.

But I also wonder whether we've sometimes thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

Because goddess, princess, lioness, tigress, empress, enchantress… there's something rather lovely about words that celebrate femininity.

I'm certainly not suggesting women should have different, lesser titles. And I'm not suggesting masculinity and femininity should dictate who we are or what we're allowed to become.

I'm just wondering whether equality really has to mean sameness?

Can we believe women are every bit as capable, intelligent and powerful as men, and still enjoy the fact that we're women?

Perhaps we can have equality without erasing difference.

I for one, as a woman, love having a very feminine ‘ess’ on the end of a word that differentiates me from my male counterpart.

Just a thought 🫶🧡
