I’ve been talking a lot recently about who is supporting mum. I wanted to focus on dads and partners and the importance of dads/partners considering who is supporting them? Last week we had a group EFT session in Overcome the Overload on partners and relationships and how you feel in those relationships? One of […]
Who’s your biggest critic? We are so hard on ourselves. We are our own worst critics. We really like to chastise ourselves whenever we haven’t managed the situation in the way that we wanted to.

Affirmations are really potent, positive, powerful ways that we can change our lives and our mindset.

I’m currently running a community group for mums who are feeling overwhelmed, Overcome the Overload. The purpose of that group […]

When I became ill many years ago with PND, I was convinced I had a physical illness such as cancer because my body felt so broken. I had no energy in my legs and arms – they felt so fatigued. My whole body felt completely crippled. I spent ages googling symptoms of cancer as I […]
I’ve been supporting parents for almost the last 10 years both in a voluntary and private capacity. What I witness so often with my clients, my peers and am aware of my own issues is the overload.
