I am proud to be facilitating a group helping women feel supported, understood and empowered during the menopause and perimenopause stage of life.
Working in partnership with a local voluntary action group, we are creating a welcoming space for real conversations.
If you’re looking for in person connection with others where you will be accepted, we would love for you to join us.

Do you find yourself ‘keeping the peace’ to avoid conflicts? Telling yourself it’s better to keep quiet and ‘go along with it’.
You might feel relief in the moment but this is temporary.Whatever it is has not been resolved-it’s been avoided.
Over time this can cause resentment and disconnection from yourself and from others. It becomes second nature for your needs to be last and even worse, people say things like ‘you’re so easy going’ or ‘don’t cause a drama’ which reinforces you not being heard.
Real peace isn’t about silence or self sacrifice.It’s about feeling safe enough to be honest even when it’s uncomfortable.
If you want to learn how to handle conflict without causing an argument and staying in control I can help you build the skills to do this.
I have availability in my diary and am ready to help you.Please see my contact details in my Bio ☎️ 💻 🙂

This happens when we want to be seen as kind and dependable. It can feel mean to let others down by saying no.
Being supportive of others is important for human connection but what if you lose yourself or become resentful by agreeing to do something you don’t realistically have the time or capacity for?
I work with people to help understand when and why this pattern started and to build your tolerance for the discomfort you can feel when you start putting boundaries in place.
It is entirely possible to preserve your kindness whilst ensuring your relationships are healthy.

It’s not a reflection of your worth, it’s information that tells you how much they value themselves.
Secure people don’t feel the need to bring others down.They won’t feel threatened by you because what is the threat?
They will say things like “That’s amazing, well done.I’m so proud of you”.
NOT “Are you sure you should do that?”.
You can choose who has access to your energy.Choosing distance isn’t unkind.It’s self-respect.

Mother’s Day can be a joyful celebration for many – but for others, it can be a difficult and emotional day.

For those who are grieving a mother or mother figure, experiencing a complicated relationship, navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, estrangement, or missing a child, the constant reminders across social media and in everyday life can feel overwhelming.

If this day brings up mixed or painful feelings, you’re not alone. It’s OK to acknowledge those emotions and give yourself the care and space you need – whether that means setting boundaries, reaching out for support, or taking time for yourself.

However you feel this Mother’s Day, your experience is valid. 💙
