Happy 10-year anniversary to my little business.
It was a hard journey to begin with, but worth every moment. It all started 11 years ago while studying, juggling a placement and raising a toddler at home. I studied into the early hours, determined to succeed and determined to be there for the school runs in the future.
After graduating, I worked long days in a veteran inpatient unit, then evenings in Harborne, building my experience and reputation in private practice. I don’t know how I found the energy, but I did — and I’m proud of the work I put in. And I was able to be there for those school runs. For everyone who supported me along the way, thank you.
Ten years on, working for myself alongside a fantastic team means everything. I’m deeply grateful to the NHS for my training and experience. Now, in my own practice, I can support people without targets, without “shoulds” and “musts,” and connect deeply with the wonderful humans I work with, at their own pace.
I love my work — it feels like much more than a job; it’s part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through many different mental health challenges and have grown in the areas I specialise in. My veteran work was a deeply meaningful chapter, and currently it is a privilege to support police officers across the UK — from fi****ms and family liaison to response and other specialist units.
I feel grateful to have found a balance that works for my clients, our team, and for myself. But the most rewarding part of all is seeing people feel like themselves again — or discover a new version of themselves. That makes everything worthwhile, because every human being deserves inner peace.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to 10 years of The Clinic — and to what comes next.
