Better You Counseling & Coaching Services

I’m officially Certified in Advanced EMDR 👏

This means I can now help clients not just talk about their past, but activate the brain’s natural processing system to reprocess stuck memories and thought patterns.

EMDR is one of the most effective approaches for:
• Trauma
• Anxiety
• Negative core beliefs
• Feeling “stuck” in patterns

You don’t have to keep reliving what you’ve already been through.

True for many…

The dividing line between productive reflection and fruitless thinking lies in the outcome of both. If it produces a solution, then it is efficient. ~ Daniel Goleman, PhD

Productive = 💡
Fruitless = 🧟‍♀️

Beautiful. Sometimes we just need someone to listen. ❤️

Today I said “I’m fine”, not once
But five times altogether
When people asked “how are you?”
Then made small talk of the weather

And so I hid behind my mask
The one I’d worn a while
I set in place my bravest face
And dressed it with a smile

And that was how the day went
All “I’m fine” and talk of rain
Until somebody asked me how I was
Then asked again

They asked if I was truly fine
And I said I was not
And they said they were sorry
That they couldn’t do a lot

But then they sat beside me
Whilst I spoke the truth at last
They listened and they held me
As the tears slipped through my mask

And where before, I’d felt I should
Maintain this brave façade,
I realised there was much to gain
By letting down my guard

See, though my load was still the same
It now was not as heavy
‘Cause sitting and offloading it
Had helped a bit already

Today they asked “how are you?”
And I told them I was fine
‘Til someone saw behind the mask
And asked me one more time

And though they may have felt
That there was little they could do
They’ll never know how much it meant
To tell someone the truth
