    Opening Your Heart to Love ✨ I am so delighted to Opening Your Heart to Love ✨ I am so delighted to be joining the Mind Body Spirit Festival with @mbswellbeing at Olympia, London this May. Across the weekend I will be offering a few beautiful heart centred sessions, all exploring love, connection and self love 🤍 Saturday 23 May 🕐 1.15pm, Ceremony Dome Opening Your Heart to Love Monday 25 May 🕛 12.15pm, Sacred Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Self Love 🕜 1.30pm, Midlife Wisdom Area Opening Your Heart to Love All of these sessions are free once you have your festival entry ticket. If you are planning to come, festival entry tickets increase from £18 to £20 on 4 April, so this is a gentle nudge to take advantage of the early ticket if it feels right ✨ It would be truly lovely to see you there and share this space together 💫 #MindBodySpiritFestival #HeartOpening #LondonSpiritualEvents #SelfLoveJourney #UKTherapist This feels much more embedded and intentional, like part of the story rather than an add-on.
    A reflection I return to often… ✨ So many people A reflection I return to often… ✨ So many people I work with aren’t trying to hurt each other. They’re trying to be understood… and missing each other at the same time. And somewhere in that space, it starts to feel exhausting. You might find yourself thinking Should I just give up? Is this too hard? But often, underneath the confusion, something much more tender is happening. Two people wanting to be seen. Two people feeling vulnerable. Two nervous systems struggling to find safety at the same time 🫀 In couples therapy, we often say… Sometimes it only takes a few more words. A few more words to let someone into your world or the willingness to really step into theirs. Not fixing. Not defending. Just listening. Creating space. Taking a moment. Choosing to stay. Because sometimes, the shift doesn’t come from saying it perfectly but from being willing to stay open while it’s imperfect 🌿 If this is something you’re navigating right now, I’ll be exploring this more deeply at my live event with Seed Talks on the 19th in Dublin at The Sugar Club. Tickets are available through Eventbrite if you’d like to join. What helps you stay open when things feel difficult in connection? #couplestherapy #emotionalconnection #relationshipwork #consciouslove #dublin_events
    So much fun dancing to Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t she So much fun dancing to Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t she lovely”! My sister visited and I had the chance to remember how good it is to play and dance. Creating time for fun is such a big deal but it can be in little chunks xx#lovecoach #love #relationships #fun #flirting
    Something I often tell my clients… ✨ Attraction d Something I often tell my clients… ✨ Attraction doesn’t disappear because something is “wrong” in the relationship. It often fades because the relationship has become… predictable in a way that leaves no space for aliveness. Not because you don’t love each other. But because you’ve both slowly moved into roles, routines, and responsibilities… and out of curiosity. Desire needs space. It needs a sense of discovery, of not fully knowing, of still meeting each other. 💫 And that doesn’t come from grand gestures. It comes from small moments of presence… asking a new question, sharing something unfiltered, letting yourself be seen in a slightly different way. Long term attraction isn’t built on effort alone. It’s built on continued curiosity. 🤍 Where in your relationship have things become familiar… but no longer alive? #EmotionalIntimacy #ConsciousRelationships #LoveAndConnection #RelationshipGrowth #IntimacyMatters
    A Little Reminder ✨ You are still in time to get A Little Reminder ✨ You are still in time to get your tickets and come and meet yours truly at the Mind Body Spirit Festival with @mbswellbeing at Olympia, London this May 🤍 I will be there across the weekend offering a few beautiful heart centred sessions: Saturday 23 May 🕐 1.15pm, Ceremony Dome Opening Your Heart to Love Monday 25 May 🕛 12.15pm, Sacred Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Self Love 🕜 1.30pm, Midlife Wisdom Area Opening Your Heart to Love All sessions are free once you have your festival entry ticket. Festival entry tickets have recently increased from £18 to £20, but there is still time to book and join us ✨ If you feel drawn to a little more love, connection and space to reconnect with yourself, I would so love to see you there 💫 #MindBodySpiritFestival #HeartOpening #LondonSpiritualEvents #SelfLoveJourney #UKTherapist
    There’s a different kind of connection that become There’s a different kind of connection that becomes possible when you slow down Not the kind built on performance, or trying to be chosen but the kind that grows when you feel safe enough to be real So many people move through dating and relationships holding subtle tension Trying to say the right thing Trying to be enough Trying not to be rejected But connection doesn’t deepen through effort It deepens through presence This is what we’ll be exploring together in Dublin How to soften out of performance and into something more honest, embodied, and alive How to feel more at ease in yourself, and more open with others How connection begins to shift when you do Join me in Dublin Sunday 19 April 17:00-19:00 The Sugar Club, Dublin If you’ve been craving something deeper, more real, more you this space is for you. #EmotionalSafety #SecureAttachment #ConsciousRelationships #IntimacyMatters #RelationalHealing
