At the heart of MindRelations is something very simple: I believe our minds are worth valuing—and worth minding.
We’re taught to brush our teeth, tie our shoes, and follow rules. But most of us were never taught how to relate to our own thoughts, feelings, and reactions in a way that feels steady and kind.
I think that’s something we all should have learned in school. Because how we relate to our own minds shapes everything—from how we treat ourselves to how we show up in relationships, work, parenting, and life.

I value family. I value warmth. I believe in being kind to each other—not just when it's easy, but especially when it's not. I believe in making room for mistakes, because they’re not evidence of failure. They’re often the moments we learn the most—sometimes painfully, sometimes tenderly, but always in ways that shape us. Mistakes, if we let them, can become part of what we cherish about our growth.

I care deeply about compassion, empathy, and the capacity to really listen—not only to others, but inwardly too.
When we learn to notice what’s going on inside us without rushing to judge or fix it, something shifts. We create space. And in that space, we can start to change—not because we’re trying to become someone else, but because we’re finally meeting ourselves as we are.

And I really value humour. A light touch, even in the heavier moments, can offer surprising clarity. I think self-irony is a quiet superpower. It lets us see ourselves with both affection and perspective—and often, with a little laughter too.

These values are the ground beneath MindRelations. It’s not a method I’ve imposed—it’s a way of being I’ve lived, learned, and tried to grow into, again and again. And it’s what I hope to offer here: a way to feel more at home in your own mind, and to relate with more care—to yourself and to the people who matter most.

​

My intention with MindRelations is to offer a space where people can begin to meet themselves with more gentleness, clarity, and care.
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from fixing ourselves, but from understanding ourselves—really noticing what we feel, what we’ve been carrying, and how we’ve learned to cope.

 

When we begin to truly understand our feelings and recognise our reactive patterns—not push them away or judge them, but really tune in—we uncover something powerful. As Susan Hart describes, our emotions aren’t weaknesses to control or hide; they’re hidden superpowers. They carry vital information about what we need, what matters to us, and where we’ve been hurt or shaped.
When we learn to mind our emotions with curiosity instead of fear, we gain access to a kind of inner compass. We can respond more wisely, relate more openly, and act from a place that’s both grounded and human. That’s what emotional strength really looks like—not perfect control, but deeper understanding and the ability to meet life with more presence.

That's why MindRelations isn’t about quick answers or surface-level advice. It’s a structured and compassionate way to deepen the relationship you have with yourself—and from there, with the people around you.
Because when we feel steadier on the inside, we relate with more ease, presence, and connection on the outside.

 

Working as a psychotherapist energizes me deeply. I have so much to offer people who want to feel better, live more meaningfully, and reach that place inside themselves where life feels good—where they truly care about themselves and the people around them. It fills my heart every time one of my clients arrives at that place. When they do, I feel joy for them—and with them. It drives me to keep helping others find and hold onto what matters most to them.
