“Life is full of paradoxes, as roses are of thorns.”
– Fernando Pessoa
My thoughts after this week of psychotherapy work: how much comfort certainty can bring. And how much it can sometimes rob us of the fullness of life.
How psychotherapy works is something many people wonder about before starting therapy. What is it about sitting with another person and talking that can make things feel different?
From the outside, psychotherapy can look quite simple. Two people meet regularly and talk about what is happening in your life, your relationships, your feelings, your past, your worries, your patterns. But therapy is not just a kind conversation. It is not only empathy, reassurance, or someone listening politely.
Psychotherapy vs coaching is a question many people ask when they know they want support, but are not sure what kind of support would be most helpful.
Identity change is one of the most profound psychological shifts a woman can experience, and it often emerges during major life transitions.

Understanding the psychology of identity change is essential for navigating these intense periods with strength, grace, and self-compassion.

Our relationship with the body is one of the longest relationships we will ever have. It begins before we have words, and it continues to change throughout our lives.
And yet, many of us do not really know our bodies. We know how to judge them, compare them, dress them, feed them, push them, control them, punish them, improve them, hide them. But do we know them? Do we listen to them? Do we recognise their language?
In this blog post, I will explore one common factor that can contribute to binge eating – restriction – and offer some starting points for understanding and changing the binge eating cycle.
