Last weekend, I did something just for me. It wasn’t logical. It wasn’t sensible. It wasn’t cheap. But it made me incredibly happy. And honestly, that’s the whole point. A few weeks ago, I found myself gutted at the idea of missing out on something special. Oasis at Wembley Stadium. My favourite band. One of…

Blog: Sometimes the Way Forward Starts with a Step Back
Sometimes, the bravest and wisest thing we can do for our wellbeing is to take what might appear to be a step backwards. We live in a world that constantly praises progress, momentum, and visible success. But real growth doesn’t always look like a straight line. In fact, some of the most important changes in…
Blog: Adaptive Wellbeing Practices for Educators Working with SEND Students
Teaching students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is both a challenging and rewarding profession. These students require tailored approaches to learning, and the educators working with them need to be equipped with the tools and strategies to effectively support their emotional, mental, and academic development.

Why Taking Time Out Is Important
I’m currently taking some time out after a very stressful and hectic few months. It’s essential that I take this time to relax and reset for my own wellbeing. The following article from Mindjournal outlines why it is so important to take time out: https://www.mindjournals.com/blogs/read/summer-timeout?utm_source=Potential%20Purchasers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=August%20%7C%20Email%202%20%7C%20Editorial%20%28Engaged%29%20%2B%20%28Potential%29%20%2801H6RHCJJ6TV42QRJEYAMKYS0F%29&triplesource=klaviyo&_kx=gRm7jEdVFpdiOyx6j0XvLJMfug4-Nmsbvf98aiCv_J6M1AMByXiJuejBzEmNAyrU.KhZBMb
Blog: It’s been a while
Apologies for not posting for some time, life has got in the way recently. Like many, I’ve had good days and bad days over the last few months. Since relocating overseas, my days have become busier, meaning I’m having less ‘me time’. It took me a while to actually recognise that I needed to stop…
Blog: And just like that…
I am currently on holiday in Fuerteventura, and I am writing this blog on a sun lounger by the pool. I’ve just finished a “Volcanic Island” cocktail. I have been focusing on pure relaxation here. My need to relax has led to a series of unexpected events. Allow me to tell you a story. I…

Since then it has been widely utilised as a method of helping people understand their reactions…
Blog: World Mental Health Day 2022

Whilst I applaud the campaign to raise awareness and the good that it does, the fact remains that we should look after our mental health as much as our physical health every day. This years theme is Making Mental Health & Well-Being for All a Global Priority. It…
Blog: Just stop
Hello I hope everyone is well. The last few weeks have been insanely busy. At work and at home life has been moving at a fast pace, with little time to think and just stop. After a few weeks of the none stop pace, I am starting to feel burnt out. Right now I am…
Blog: Change never stops
Happy Friday I hope everyone is well. The heatwave has continued all week here in Palmanova, Majorca. I have therefore spent most of the time by the pool to try and keep cool. As I mentioned in my last post, I have been doing a lot of thinking and forming plans in my head for…
