By now your social feeds will be full of fresh starts.

Everyone is resetting, realigning, manifesting something.

If you’re feeling vaguely allergic to it all, that’s understandable. This can be a tough, slightly joyless time of year, and being told to feel hopeful on schedule rarely helps.

A lot of the people I work with don’t need motivation. They need a break from the constant commentary about how they should be feeling or who they should be becoming.

Therapy, as I practise it, isn’t about setting intentions or chasing a reset. It’s about having a realistic, honest space to talk about what’s actually going on, especially when the rest of the world seems determined to put a positive spin on everything.

If this is a difficult stretch for you, and you’re feeling out of step with everyone, trust me, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re navigating being human the best you can. But you don’t have to do that on your own – having someone in your corner can help more than you might be able to imagine right now.

I currently have a few midweek slots available for new clients in Chesterfield. No resolutions required. Just reach out and let’s start talking.
