    Taking A Leap Into Uncertainty with Self-Compassion One minute, I’m driving into work, sipping lukewarm coffee out of a travel mug at my desk, chatting to my teammates about their weekend, and grumbling about that meeting I have to go to later. The next, my world’s turned upside down, as I close the door on…

  • The Impact of Circadian Disruption

    4th January 2026

    I was sat in bed this morning on my phone at 8am, randomly flicking through other people’s stories and lives…   A video of my daughter and her friends on a hill howling at the wolf moon (fabulous), a man posting a funny video about Trump and his actions in Venezuela (made me smile), countless…

  • My journey into Somatic Yoga

    1st June 2025

    Those of you who have worked with me will know that I have an interest in somatic and body psychotherapy. My curiosity in the therapy space goes far beyond what we say, do, think, and feel into what’s happening in the body, the space inbetween us and the space around us. I am always looking…
