I had a lovely surprise recently when Tom from The Doubting Thomas nominated me for the Ideal Inspiration Blogger Award. I hadn’t actually heard of this one before, so a huge thank you to Tom for the nomination.

I’ll be posting… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
I don’t know about anyone else, but despite the fact we’ve been in lockdown for the whole thing, May has actually been a pretty fast month. As of the 1st June, we're allowed to meet in small groups of 6 as long as it's outdoors. Great for those gagging to get the BBQ out, not… Continue reading May 2020 Wrap Up
I’ve seen a few of these posts over the last couple of weeks so I’ve decided to create my own.
