We can be so wrapped up in everything that is consuming us that we forget to focus on the small things 🤦🏻‍♀️

But actually, they are not small at all. They are the moments that remind us who we are!

I had a few moments this week where I was reminded of the importance of connection, connection with others, and connection with myself, my inner voice, my inner compass 🧭

We had our Warrioress Tribe meeting this week, I never know if it's going to be just me or other women BUT I wasn't alone, we had friends, we had someone who had travelled afar and we had a brave soul who knew no-one and found the courage to show up for herself 🙌

We talked, laughed, connected and felt lighter by the time we left, my heart was full 💗

I then had Friday to walk by the beach, listening to the waves, sitting quietly with a coffee and my book 📖 connecting with what helps me to unwind and reflect ✨️ how truly blessed I am to be able to do what I do where I do 🙌

I hope you had time and space to connect with those that you care about to?

NEXT MEET UP FOR WARRIORESS TRIBE IS SATURDAY 8AM AT THE BEACH ⛱️

Welcome to The Warrioress Tribe ✨️

No woman should have to face life's battles alone.

Warrioress Tribe is a supportive community where women come together to share their stories, encourage one another and remind each other of one simple truth:

You are enough

Whether you're navigating adulthood, motherhood, career changes, relationship breakdown, anxiety, fertility, perimenopause, menopause, grief, empty nesting, caring responsibilities or simply trying to rediscover yourself....

You'll find women here who understand.

This is not a place for perfection.

It's a place for honesty.

A place where women's experiences becomes another woman's hope.

Because every Warrioress has a story.

And every story matters ✨️

Bring your daughter, friend, work colleague, your fav girl to chat with (tag and share)

📍Barry Sidings - Wednesday 29th at 6pm
📍Aberavon Beach - Saturday 8th of August

𝕀'𝕞 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕞𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕓𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕖 🥳🙌

I'm taking a moment to thank those who have helped me to continue doing what I still feel blessed to do ✨️

The first is to the version of myself 18 years ago who had the courage to go for what she wanted! Holding down 3 jobs, raising babies, and trying to keep it together! She didn't know if she could complete her first essay 🫣 the self doubt was real!

The next is to a dear friend who allowed me to rent her shop basement so that I could get my business off the ground. Her belief in me helped the doubt slowly disappear as I raised the money to purchase my first therapy space, aka The Shed 🥰

To my biggest supporters 🙌 my Husband, my children, my family and friends 💕 Gav built my first therapy room, with my father in law who dug the foundations and Uncle Ron who passed the screws and held the ladder 👷‍♂️ my mother in law sharing posts and hyping me up to anyone who'll listen as well as supplying food for the build 😋

That shed was a very special place ✨️

The recent shift in location was scary but as always I was following my intuition, it felt right and I couldn't be happier with the move that we've made 🙌✨️ and I can't thank Gav enough for trusting me that this would work ✨️

The team at Bronleigh are the kindest, most thoughtful people I have met, and I'm truly grateful to be part of this team 🥰 The conversation with Deb Debbie Robinson that created the new space will be one that I will forever be grateful for and to Hannah Louise Hopkins for giving me the opportunity to be part of team Bronleigh, this will never be taken for granted 💖

MOST IMPORTANTLY onto my clients 🥰 to every single one of you that I have had the pleasure to walk alongside I THANK YOU.

Thank you for trusting me
Thank you for allowing me to hold space for you
Thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable
Thank you for putting yourself first

Without you there would be no counselling space 😔 I never take this for granted, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to still be doing what I love 14 years on 💖

This group was developed from my own personal struggles as I hit midlife 😢

Even with my background in mental health and wellbeing I had no idea of the impact of perimenopause and the complexity of navigating work, home and life!

I spent a long time figuring my stuff out and making some shocking choices that impacted my family greatly (I asked my husband for a divorce). I was flat, joyless and very sad 😔

When you finally realise that it's the decline of your hormones that's responsible for this it makes you a little angry to think of other women going through this transition alone 😕

This is why I started the Warrioress Tribe, a free, safe online space for women to navigate the complexity of this stage of life. Connect with other women through our online community or our monthly meet-ups, where nothing is off limits 😉

This is born from not wanting other women to experience what I went through, loneliness, confusion and generally feeling like I no longer fit 🫣 instead giving women the space to be seen 🥰

A little emotional on a Friday BUT it's been a long week!! What a way to end it though 🥰

Blessed to be able to do what I do ✨️🙌

One of the reasons I love what I do is that no day is the same!

Being able to hold space for my clients is not something that I take lightly as I know the courage it takes to show up at sessions.

This is a reminder that behind so many people's daily lives, there are often struggles that can't always be seen from the outside.

Sometimes, people come to therapy carrying years of trying to cope alone.
Sometimes, they arrive feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or unsure of who they are anymore.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support.

And if not with me, I hope you find someone who can sit alongside you whilst you make sense of what you are carrying.

You don't have to do it alone 🥰

ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥?? 🫣

Thinking about therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure where to begin or whether counselling is right for you.

I offer a free15-minutee phone consultation to give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and to get a sense of whether I feel like the right person to support you.

There’s no obligation to continue afterwards, and anything shared during the consultation remains confidential.

Sometimes a short conversation can make taking that first step feel a little easier.

If you would like to book, see the link in bio 📩

It can feel relentless and quite isolating as it consumes you.

Therapy can offer a space to understand what's driving it, and to gently begin to step out of the cycle.

If this resonates with you, you're very welcome to get in touch 🥰
