Happy New Year blah blah blah. If you're doing new year's resolutions take a read of my latest blog. Instead of resolutions to 'better' yourself, why try to work on liking yourself more...... balancedpeople.co.uk/try-a-differen…

I was a real pleasure to speak at the Vines School Trust Annual Conference a couple of weeks ago. If you want straightforward mental health advice delivered with humour and compassion I'm your woman. If not, that's ok. There are so many other fantastic people out there.

I was reading a post on social media asking about lightbulb moments from your therapist. I found this comment from an unknown user incredibly powerful and thought some of you might benefit from it as well.

For several years I've had the honour of performing at Exmouth Pride. I found an old photo of one of my first performances. I was on the front cover of the local paper. Unfortunately, the headline of underneath my picture was misleading!! It still makes me laugh!

I had the pleasure of composing an article for SEN Magazine discussing the significance of acknowledging anxiety. Embracing anxiety as a natural and important of life. It is crucial to equip our children with the tools to manage anxiety. #anxietyawareness #mentalwellness #SEN
