A little reminder that winter isn’t always as cosy and magical as social media makes it look. Sometimes it’s just a bit shit, and that’s okay.

What do you need to remind yourself of this winter? Let me know in the comments ⛄️ 💚 by @therapywithellen

Since my ADHD diagnosis these apps have made my life a little easier!

And now I can tick “post on Instagram” off my finch, so really this post has been productive😆

What apps have I missed that make your life easier?

Physical rest has been something I’ve needed a little more of recently 💚

I’ve hurt my shoulder (thanks, tech neck😆), which has meant taking a break and giving my body some time to recover.

For me, physical rest has looked like swapping the gym for some gentle stretching, listening to what my body needs and resisting the urge to push through it.

Physical rest is more than sleep. Sometimes it’s slowing down, moving gently, or giving your body permission to recover.

So, as we head into the weekend, what might your body need from you? by @therapywithellen

This post feels particularly fitting as I head off on annual leave next week.

I’ll be talking some proper time away - including heading somewhere with no signal to give myself the opportunity to step away from social media and into nature 🍃 🦅 🌷

What would a little bit of social rest look like for you?

Wishing you all a restful week, whatever that looks like for you 💚 by @therapywithellen

There’s a little bit of the child we once were in all of us 👶

Looking back at old photos of myself reminded me that some of the interests I loved as a child have stayed with me into adulthood. Some interests fell away and I have recently come back to them. I adore gardening again and I used to love helping my grandparents with their gardens as a kid.

As we grow up, we can become so focused on work, responsibilities and relationships that we sometimes lose sight of the things we enjoy doing for fun.

Sometimes reconnecting with ourselves isn’t about becoming someone new, but instead remembering who we’ve always been💚

It’s kinda chic to be late to the trend.. also kinda chic to be a therapist 💁‍♀️

This one is for my fellow therapists. Have I missed anything?! by @therapywithellen

Sensory rest is about giving your senses - and your nervous system - a break from the things that can feel overwhelming or demanding.

I’ve found that bright lights can be particularly difficult for me, and when I switched to a warm lamp in my therapy room, I noticed a real difference in the frequency of my migraines 💡 🧠

It’s a good reminder that sometimes the things we think we simply have to “put up with” can actually be sensory needs that are worth paying attention to.

Sensory needs are different for everyone, and this can be particularly relevant for neurodivergent people.

I work with neurodivergent clients and offer neuro-affirming therapy, creating space to explore your experiences without expecting you to fit into a neurotypical mould.

If you'd like to work with me, head to the link in my bio to book a free 20-minute introductory call 💚
