25.01.2022 When you are busy its pretty easy to get through the day and not realise you havent taken time to get outside. Getting some fresh air, looking at the sky, taking in a view or just spending time in your garden can be great for your mental health. If your feeling really stressed a little time in the moonlight can help too. So what will you do to connect with the world outside today?

24.01.2022 This is so beautiful, it will brighten your day!

23.01.2022 If you stay focused on the good things that are coming out of all the change we are experiencing, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you can grow and adapt through it all. In what ways are you growing right now?

23.01.2022 Our website has been updated and we are so pleased to share it with you all. It provides a more detailed explanation of The Network and how it can support people bereaved by suicide. https://suicidebereavement.org.au/

23.01.2022 Whatever you're doing today, do it with the confidence of a superhero. When we act with confidence it helps others to feel safe and secure around us. Practice a powerful, superhero pose for several minutes beforehand and you will feel more confident too! Please share this post with someone in your life who could use a little confidence boost.

22.01.2022 This is a recent interview I did with Chris Mills from the Local Business Network. Please help me spread the word by sharing and giving me some love!!

21.01.2022 I have always believed that we are only as old as we think we are and I have always been about 35!

21.01.2022 Who here is a fan of shortcuts? While, I don't believe there is any magic that can cure your anxiety, there are some strategies that can help you manage it. Can I get a Hallelujah! ... Getting support can help you understand what to do so you aren't going around in circles in your head. It can also help you discover more of what life has to offer. So if you are ready to tame your inner critic... Here are 3 things you can do right now 1. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would a friend. 2. Don't over-generalise the negatives e.g. "everyone hates me" or "I can't do anything right" 3. Look for evidence that contradicts the negative thought e.g. I have some close friends", "I'm good at my job" BONUS TIP Ask yourself "What did I do well?", as often as you can? - See if you can come up with 2 or 3 things, no matter how small. And if you really want to speed things up with support to boot, reach out to a Counsellor or message me to book a session. Here's to making life a little easier! <3

20.01.2022 No one is perfect. Sometimes, we can feel worried and stressed because we have so much going on in our lives and our minds. This is how I was feeling yesterday, a bit of Monday blues perhaps. I had plenty of things that needed to be done. I was just spinning my wheels and getting no where, when a friend suggested a walk on the beach. Penrith is a long way from Bondi, but we went anyway. Today, I am so much more productive and feeling fully refreshed!... So the next time your mind is running in circles, ask yourself do you need a reset?

19.01.2022 A GREAT DECISION! This is truly the happiest relationship of my life! How do you get to have a relationship like this?... It starts with both people being focused on the others best qualities... the things you love about each other. Neither of us expected our relationship to last beyond a month or two (because of our age difference) but a joint decision to just see where the journey takes us and appreciate the time we have together has made all the difference. We have been together more than four years and we are both still deliriously happy. Are you in a great relationship? What choices have helped you to grow together? If you would like to know more about how to have a better relationship with your partner please reach out to me.

19.01.2022 Whilst I fully agree with the post below I also think we should try to listen and hold space for anyone in our lives. What do you think?

17.01.2022 There is no better time to make yourrelationship a priority than now. Want to find out more about how to transform your relationship into one that brings you more joy? Reach out to me to find out how I can help.

17.01.2022 With so much change going on in our lives its important to have compassion for yourself. I you are working from home, or at home with your kids, its OK if you dont get everything done. Often you will get to it later. What expectations will you choose to let go of today?

16.01.2022 Its exciting that some of the social distancing restrictions will be lifted in New South Wales on Friday. I was wondering what needs have been magnified in your life with social distancing? Have you been ignoring these needs and saying to yourself "Ill be alright when things go back to normal"?... There is no better time to explore the connections and things that would make your life better whatever comes.... Join me for Friday Ladies Lounge to find out more about what you can do now! Check out my Events for more info.

16.01.2022 So much research coming out about how getting out in nature is good for us and yet most of us know this from experience!

15.01.2022 Its Friday! Time to get together (online) with friends and enjoy some social connectedness!

15.01.2022 Trans awareness

14.01.2022 Never give up. Reach out.

14.01.2022 The clouds have been amazing today. Looking at clouds always lifts my spirit. Cloud watching can be a great way to disconnect from all the uncertainty we are dealing with, and the time can pass so quickly when you have your head in the clouds!

14.01.2022 In a happy and committed relationship Life, Hope, Love and Friendship thrive because we are focused on building one another up. If these aspects of your relationship are suffering, you dont need to suffer alone. You can learn the skills to make your relationship vibrant again.

14.01.2022 Tired and stressed all the time? Louise from Walk Together Counselling can help!

12.01.2022 We can often be fooled into thinking that life is just happening to us. When you learn how to chose your thoughts and how they create your feelings you will gain power over your own life!

12.01.2022 What memories from the weekend will help you get through the week? We did our first online party with friends. I was nervous prior to doing this about what it would be like, would it be awkward, would we run out of things to say, would we get bored? Well, it wasnt any of those things. It was a lot of fun, although a bit strange at first. ... To get through this time you need to nurture our friendships in whatever way you can. You might just find its a lot of fun too. So try to put your fears aside and try getting together online with the people in your life.

12.01.2022 When you are experiencing increased fear and anxiety it is helpful to shift out of your head and into your body. To make this shift and feel more grounded you can - take a 10 minute walk - do some push ups... - feel your heartbeat - bring awareness to your breathing. What will you do to move your body today?

12.01.2022 Happy Valentines Day. Hope you get to spend some time with someone special or to do something for yourself today!

11.01.2022 Are you feeling more tired? A little planning may be really helpful to overcome these feelings.

11.01.2022 I used to worry about being a good mum, until I realised it was holding me back from being the loving parent that I am. When we give too much space to worry it gets in the way and we can't move forward. Do you need to let go of worry?... I would love to help you learn to let go of the things that are holding you back, so you can move forward in you journey. Please share this post or message me to find out more.

10.01.2022 This is an attitude we can all adopt so we can make a difference to the outcome in such scary times!

08.01.2022 A strong relationship can help you stay healthy!

08.01.2022 If your an imaginative person, as I am, you can use that imagination to make you happier! For example, if your partner didnt call when they said they would you can use your imagination to think of all the terrible things that may have happened or you can imagine any number positive reasons why they havent called. You can also use your imagination to become more secure in yourself. Instead of imagining all the ways in which life would be hard if your relationship ended, you... can think about all the ways in which you would be happy being independent. Sometimes, we get into a habit of thinking about and imagining worst case scenarios, but with a little practice you can use our imagination to make life better. How will your imagination serve you today? Let me know in the comments or message me to find out more about this skill.

06.01.2022 Do you like to dip your toe in before you take the plunge? I'm a little like that too. So if you've wanted to do Walk and Talk therapy, then here's how to try things out without diving fully in. Reach out and book a session for half price. There's no obligation to continue and it's a great way to find out if I'm the right Counsellor for you.

06.01.2022 Thinking about all the people we need or want to check in on can feel a bit overwhelming right now. One helpful way to deal with this is to prioritise one person in you want to connect with each day, then make time to really hold space for that person; have a good conversation with them. Who will you connect with in your life today?

05.01.2022 All of the adjustments you have made during Covid-19 and physical distancing are achievements! It might be working from home, spending more time on your own, starting a new fitness plan, doing workouts at home, checking in on friends and family more often. Celebrating the changes you have made and all that you are adjusting to will reduce your stress and give you the energy and motivation to keep going. CELEBRATE!... Let me know how you are celebrating yourself and what you are doing with your spare time.

05.01.2022 Adjusting to the new normal is difficult for all of us. Making a list of all the things in your life that you are grateful for can really help you to feel more grounded and positive when you are feeling overwhelmed. What are you grateful for today?

04.01.2022 To stay connected to your partner, reconnect daily. You likely have a daily connection ritual that you would normally be using. For many couples this would be talking about your day when you get home from work. When we are out of our usual routines and together all the time it can be easy to overlook the small but essential opportunities to connect. ... You can still connect with your partner by sharing something you have read or done, by talking about some interest you both share, or having positive discussions about the future and even through sharing some memories of things you both enjoyed in the past. in my home we often reconnect through discussion about what the cats might be thinking! To stay connected, reconnect. How will you reconnect with your partner as part of your new routine?

03.01.2022 Want to try a little experiment that can bring more joy into your life and relationship? Try this, at the end of everyday note down three good things no matter how small that you noticed in your day and one thing about your partner that made you smile. This is a first step in cultivating gratitude and it can really change your focus and the way you feel about life, so why not give it a go. Your more that welcome to share the things that make you smile in the comments below. ... Wishing you every happiness...

02.01.2022 You have a partner so that you have someone to love. While there will be some things which are non-negotiable for you, most of the expectations you bring to the relationship are about you. There is no reason to try to get your partner to be more like you because you already have you. You most likely chose them for the ways in which they differ from you.... If you want a truly mature loving relationship examine your expectations and consider if whether you should let these go, negotiate something you can live with, or accept this as one of your partners adorable quirks. If the rule book you have created for your partner is incredibly complex and you havent even shared its contents with them, it isnt going to help you grow the relationship your looking for. Your partner gives you someone to love. If you would like to know more or need help in breaking some patterns of behaviour so you can have the relationship you really want, reach out to me.

02.01.2022 Stay positve in these tough times...

01.01.2022 Healthy relationships can be the greatest source of joy and happiness in our lives. When our intimate relationships arent going well they can also be a source of great pain and even despair. One of the most important things we can do to have more joy in our lives is to be open to love.... You cant let love in if you are defending old wounds. First you need to heal those wounds. Then allow yourself to be open to love. It is easier to be vulnerable with another when you know that someone has your back and that someone is you. When you trust yourself, you can trust another. How will you choose to let love in? Like ,comment and share this post, or message me if you would like to learn more.

01.01.2022 Whats on your mind today? I have been thinking of all the little things that make me happy and bring joy, like when my partner smiles at me. Hope you are having a lovely day and finding joy in the little things.

01.01.2022 Learning to find joy throughout your day is about being open to those moments that make your heart sing. Being mindful and open to what is going on around you, the fresh burst of coffee in the morning, the rhythm of your partners breath, the warmth of the sunshine on your face, the simplicity of a flower... What will you be open to today?

01.01.2022 The world is changing rapidly and these changes require a lot of adjustment. It is important to figure out how you will grow and adapt to what is going on in the world, stay safe and ultimately live your best life now!
