We are not baking in this therapy office, that’s for sure.
Proper air flow so we can actually breathe through the heavy stuff.

Healing doesn’t care if we’re on Teams or in person, it shows up where the space feels safe. Same focus, same depth.
Wondering what this could look like for you?

Projective story cards quietly bypassing conscious defences and opening access to deeper emotional material, symbolic thinking, unconscious associations and internal narratives that are often difficult to reach through direct questioning alone….!

Today in the counselling room we used some EMDR adjacent processing and light bilateral work to:

Shift emotional states without bypassing the pain
Restructure internal dialogue in real time
Bring movement into places that felt completely stuck
Balance depth with containment
Make abstract pain something visible and workable
Move clients out of mental paralysis, each in their own way.

If you fancy some trauma work - I’m here.

Today I was speaking to foundation degree counselling students at University Centre South Devon about what this work actually looks like beyond textbooks and theories.

Thank you for the invite!

You can take any hit life throws next because the bar for pain has already been set. Brutal, but liberating.

We are circling around a psychological–philosophical crossover here, if you are up for it - new blog is ready

Feelings are data.

But they’re not evidence.

They’re generated fast, based on past experiences, not current reality.

Your brain predicts first, then builds a story to match the feeling.

That’s why anxiety feels like danger, even when nothing is actually wrong.

The response is real.
The trigger is misread.
Feels real.
Still not always true.

Built from an idea into something real…

The Mindest sign goes up tomorrow, right in the heart of Torbay!

I’m excited to finally share…

Mindest now has its own beautiful space on Vaughan Parade, Torquay.

A calm, light-filled room overlooking the harbour, created to gently lift the mood when things feel heavy.

Trauma-informed counselling & EMDR, right here in Torbay.

See you there. ✨

Exciting update from Mindest CIC!

I can finally announce that we’ve secured a new round of funding, which means more spaces for highly subsidised trauma therapy for police, ambulance staff, first responders and blue light workers!

We see the impact that frontline roles can have, the things that stay long after the shift ends, the experiences that don’t just switch off.

Many people in these roles carry what they’ve witnessed, often without the support they actually need. EMDR is included where appropriate.

Spaces are limited, so if this is something you’ve been thinking about, now is the time.
