I’m excited to show you this #commission I completed a little while ago. It was #Christmasgift for the client’s partner so needed to keep it secret 🐈 I really love doing #petportraits as the people I’ve done them for have always been so happy with them 💕 Our pets are such an important part of our families and I always aim to capture their unique personalities.
Get in touch if you’re interesting in commissioning your own portrait or one for a friend or family member. Prices vary depending on size and whether you want it framed or not and I can do watercolours, coloured pencils, pencil or just black and white pen and ink.

The first issue of Anxiety.And? is here! 🎉 It’s available to purchase for £5 incl. postage and comes with a postcard and a little pack of pencils to add your own colour and notes throughout the book 💕

Ideas and analogies (supported by loads of illustrations) based on my own experience of managing anxiety and building self-esteem…I hope it will also be a useful part of your toolkit!

I don’t currently have a shop set up so if you’d like to buy a copy please message me and I’ll give you all the necessary info.

Coming soon…In the first issue of Anxiety.And? we’ll explore how #overapologising reinforces the belief that we are in danger and therefore increases #anxiety levels ⚠️ ⬆️

Over apologising and taking responsibility for things that aren’t our fault is often a #survivalmechanism as a result of conflict and/or abuse ☮️✌️ #peacekeeper #peoplepleaser #treadingoneggshells

When we continue to engage with this behaviour, even though we aren’t in danger anymore, our brains still think we’re under threat. We not only end up feeling more #anxious but also #guilty and #ashamed 😔 which does a number on our #selfesteem of course! ⬇️👇🏻

I’ve set up an account for my counselling practice @grovecounselling and would appreciate any follows and shares you have to give 💕 I’ll be creating content (using my illustration skills of course!) about the practice and the #therapeuticprocess as well as sharing information about managing #anxiety and #depression, #selfcare and the impact of #trauma on our minds and bodies.
