There is something I hear again and again from women in midlife... "Why do I feel so flat?"; "Why do I not feel as connected as I used to?"; "Where did the old me go?"

Understanding emotional triggers and how to feel safer in your own skin You know those moments when something tiny happens and your reaction feels huge? A slightly sharp email. A certain tone of voice. Someone going quiet, or arriving home later than usual. On the outside it looks like “nothing much”. On the inside your heart is racing, your stomach drops, your thoughts spiral, and before you know it you are either snapping, shutting down or wanting to run away. Then comes th

A relationship falls apart. A job ends. Even something as simple as a conversation can leave us feeling rattled. And in those moments, without even realising it, we fall into a fear mindset.

There’s a line between caring because we want to do a good job and caring so much that we’re constantly in fear. One is about integrity. The other is about survival. We’re trying to protect our identity.

You know that feeling when you have poured your heart, time and brainpower into something at work, and then when it finally gets to the big moment, it is like you were never really there?

Boundaries are not a punishment. They’re not a way to control or a weapon used to get people to do what we want. Healthy boundaries are about choosing what to let in.

Six years ago, the life I had imagined ended. The dream I had clung to for so long, the one of being a mum, was over. Not because I chose it to be, but because life chose otherwise. After a long and painful journey, we lost the two daughters we were meant to adopt. And with them, I lost the future I thought I was building.

I tried CBT. More than once, actually. I learned to notice my unhelpful thoughts. I practised challenging them. I journaled. I had tools. But even with all that, I burned out. Three times.

There’s a quiet moment I often witness in therapy, the pause when someone realises they do have a choice. Not always the choice they wanted, not always an easy one. But a choice, nonetheless. And in that realisation, something powerful happens: they begin to reclaim a sense of agency, of possibility, of self.

The truth is, trauma isn’t always what happened, but how our system responded when it did. And when the brain and body can’t fully process what happened during a trauma, that memory can stay stuck.

We often talk about habits like they’re simple things—just something we need more discipline to fix. But if you’ve ever tried to stop something … you’ll know it’s not that simple.

There’s a voice that lives quietly in the background for many of us. It might sound like: I should be doing more... I should be doing better... I’m just not doing enough.

Ever felt like you're constantly battling yourself, being your harshest critic, second-guessing your worth and abilities? You're not alone.

Have you ever found yourself reacting to something seemingly small in a way that feels... too much? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

In the intricate dance of relationships, the challenges we face often stem from the diverse tapestry of our individual beliefs...

Burnout isn't a buzzword; it's a serious issue that creeps up when stress goes unchecked. It's your body & mind collectively hitting a wall.

Phobias are not just fears; they are intense, often overpowering emotions that can disrupt everyday life.

For a long time, I was terrified of making decisions. It felt like my life was a narrow path, perched on the edge of a cliff. And every decision—every single one—had one right answer...

Imagine you're walking through a thick fog, where each step is uncertain and filled with a sense of dread about the unknown. That's anxiety.

Stress – It's a word we often use when feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, when life throws more at us than we feel we can handle.
