🌟Come along to STAR tomorrow and enjoy a selection of wellbeing taster sessions.

🌻Whether you’re curious to try something new, would like to spend some time in nature, or just need a gentle pause there will be something for everyone!

A little reminder for everyone joining us on Saturday…

As we’re in a rural location, please bring cash if you’re able to.

We don’t have card payment facilities. Payments can be made through our website, but they rely on our farm Wi-Fi, which isn’t always reliable, so bringing cash will make things much easier on the day.

We can’t wait to welcome you all on Saturday!

Protecting your energy isn’t about doing everything. It’s about choosing what matters most, so you can show up, feel your best and enjoy those moments. 💛

This is a theme that always comes up in the holidays. With more invitations, fewer routines, longer days and busy social calendars, it’s easy to find yourself running on empty.

It’s okay to say no, to take a break or leave early. Protecting your energy lets you be present for the moments that matter, rather than just getting through them.

Without time to recharge, even the things we enjoy can begin to feel overwhelming.

Rest doesn’t only mean sleep. It can be reading a book, going for a walk, spending time in nature, listening to music, enjoying a hobby or just having some quiet time…

It’s that time of year again … much as it’s lovely to see the sunshine ☀️ do stay safe and hydrated 🥵

☀️ Mental Health Meds + Hot Weather = A Rough Combo 🥵
Let’s talk about something important — especially if you’re on SSRIs or similar meds and you're wondering why the heat feels like it’s out to get you...

If you're on antidepressants (especially SSRIs or tricyclics), this weather might be hitting harder than usual. Not just the mood dips, the low motivation, or the emotional overwhelm — but actual physical effects.

These meds can mess with how your body regulates heat. That means:
🔥 You might sweat more than usual (even if you never used to)
🌡️ You might overheat faster
💧 You might get dehydrated more easily
🧠 And when your body’s out of balance, your nervous system follows — dysregulation, brain fog, irritability, overwhelm, emotional shutdown... sound familiar?

It’s not just in your head. It’s real. And it’s something many people aren’t told about.

Here’s what can help:
💧 Hydrate more than you think you need to (little and often)
🌿 Rest in cool spaces when you can
🧊 Cool your wrists, neck, and feet — quick wins
🪷 Don’t push through when your body’s saying "nope"
🧘‍♀️ Be kind to yourself — low energy isn’t laziness, it’s your nervous system doing its best in tough conditions.

If you’re feeling more emotional, on edge, zoned out, or just generally struggling — this could be part of it. You’re not failing. You’re a human on meds in heatwave-level weather.

🌻 Share with someone you love if you think they might need to hear this. Let’s look out for each other.

I see how hard it is sometimes. You're doing better than you think. And if you’re struggling with dysregulation, trauma, or emotional burnout, I’m here.

Some space has become available in my practice from June. If you feel drawn to explore working together, please contact me to arrange a free 30-minute consultation.

There are different paths towards change.

I am a Pluralistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, Outdoor therapist, and SandStory practitioner.

Working collaboratively, I draw on a range of research-informed approaches and tools to help shape my work with clients. My style is relational and warm, with core training in Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT modalities.

Talking therapy can be combined with creative methods which support the exploration, expression, and processing of experiences and emotions. There is also the option of working outdoors, in a familiar or natural setting. Nature can offer something unique to the therapeutic process, becoming an active part of the work itself.

I offer a flexible way of working, and clients can move between indoor, outdoor, online, and creative approaches as their needs change over time.

Dear parent who just watched Inside the Manosphere,

The knot in your stomach is real. You are wondering whether your son has seen this content, and what it might be doing to him.

But I want to offer you something alongside the worry.
Most boys drawn into these spaces are not hateful. They are confused, lonely, and looking for something to belong to. The manosphere offers answers where there are only questions. It offers a version of masculinity that is clear and certain, even when it is deeply harmful. It names an experience of pain and invisibility that many boys genuinely feel, and then it channels that pain in destructive directions.

You cannot compete with an algorithm. But you can do something an algorithm cannot: you can stay in relationship.

Stay curious about what your child finds appealing, rather than leading with horror. Ask open questions. Sit with answers that are uncomfortable. Do not withdraw the connection, even when what they are saying frightens you.

The research is consistent on this: connection with a trusted adult is the strongest protective factor against radicalisation. Not surveillance, not device bans, not lectures.

Relationship.

You already have the most important tool.
Please do not underestimate it.
