In the Press
Alongside my work with clients, I write about the themes that come up most in therapy: the habit of over-explaining, the cost of people-pleasing, and what the body reveals about our inner lives before our minds catch up. My articles have been published in Psychreg, Welldoing, and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society.
Why Your Body Knows What to Do Before Your Mind Does
Hesitation is rarely a thinking problem. In this piece I argue that the body registers emotional stakes and relational risk long before the conscious mind catches up, and that learning to read those physical signals is more revealing than rumination alone.
Why People-Pleasing Often Begins with Physical Discomfort
People-pleasing tends to show up in the body before it becomes a conscious choice. This article explores how tension, shallow breathing, and physical constriction can signal the moments when we are giving ourselves away, and why noticing them is the starting point for change.
Why Do We Feel the Need to Explain Ourselves So Much?
The impulse to over-explain and seek constant validation often traces back to early experiences of not feeling seen. I examine where this habit comes from, what it costs us, and how paying attention to our bodily responses can be the first step towards genuine change.
