Perhaps you’re the person everyone relies on.
Perhaps you’re the one who remembers what everyone else forgets, who notices what needs doing before anyone asks, who keeps things moving because someone has to and it’s usually you.
Maybe you’ve been doing this for so long it barely feels like a choice anymore.
You may be managing all of this well, from the outside. You may even be quite good at it. And still feel like you could put something down and nobody would notice it was missing, except you.
This isn’t about becoming better at holding it all together.
Sometimes you need somewhere you don’t have to.
You might want a whole day
A Day Where You Don’t Have to Hold Everything Together
Perhaps you’re longing for a proper break from being the person who remembers, organises, decides and keeps things moving.
A whole day with some space around you, where you don’t have to be needed, productive or responsible for everyone else.
You might want to stay with it a little longer
3 Days to Stop, Look and Listen
Sometimes a day sounds wonderful, but you can already feel that you’d be picking everything back up again before you’ve had a chance to properly put it down.
Three days gives you more room to step out of your usual routines and spend some time with yourself, without having to rush straight back into being the person everyone relies on.
You might want an hour where nothing is expected of you
The Quiet Hour
An hour of quiet on your own can feel like an extravagance you can’t quite justify booking in. Easy for other things to quietly take its place instead.
An hour on Zoom, though, is just a call like any other. This one happens to be shared with others who are each quietly getting on with their own thing at the same time: writing, reading, thinking, sitting with a decision, or simply allowing some room around something that’s felt crowded. Nobody needs to talk or explain what they’re doing.
There’s a brief hello to start and a gentle close at the end, with permission to spend the hour in between however actually suits you. No need to be good at silence, feel peaceful, or make profound use of the time.
You might need somewhere to put some of it down
The Comfy Chair Session
Perhaps you don’t just want some time to yourself. You’d like somewhere to talk about what you’ve been carrying.
The Comfy Chair Session is a private one-to-one conversation with me. There’s no agenda you need to prepare and nothing you need to achieve. You can bring whatever is on your mind and have an hour where you don’t have to be the one listening, sorting things out or holding everything together.
You might need something that works around your life
Bespoke Support
Perhaps there’s too much going on for one particular amount of time to make sense.
You may need something that fits around the reality of your life, rather than another thing you have to fit yourself around. We can talk about what would give you the space you’re looking for and shape something from there.
You don’t have to earn a rest
You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve some space. You don’t have to justify needing a break by how much you’ve been carrying.
Whatever amount of space feels right is enough of a reason on its own, whether that’s an hour, a day, longer, or something shaped entirely around you.
And if you’re not sure, that’s alright too.
