January has a certain reputation. It arrives full of promise and optimism, with a quiet expectation that this will be the year we finally get everything right. And yet, for many people, January can quickly become tiring and overwhelming. Self-care turns into another thing to do properly, rather than something that actually supports us. This month at Feel Well Therapy, I’d like to gently slow things down and invite a kinder way of beginning the year.

As we come to the end of another busy year, many of us find ourselves feeling stretched between work, home, and festive preparations. When life feels full, rest is often the first thing to slip — yet it’s one of the most important foundations for our mental and emotional wellbeing.

November brings with it two important awareness campaigns — International Stress Awareness Week and Movember — both shining a light on the importance of looking after our mental health and recognising when life’s pressures start to take their toll.

his Menopause Awareness Month, I wanted to speak openly about a subject that affects almost every woman’s life. My own menopause journey began around 47. At first, I brushed off the night sweats, anxiety, and heat sensitivity as stress — but over time, I realised the joint pain, poor sleep, and emotional ups and downs were all part of perimenopause.
