oh good, it's you
Hi, I'm Siobhán
I’m a mental health practitioner, coach and a facilitator of the Work That Reconnects and Good Grief. I’m also a slow but enthusiastic hiker, a gentle stalker of neighbourhood birds, and I’m pretty sure I was a lavender plant in a previous life.
How about you?
I work with people who are feeling the weight of these times. Those who are waking up to the ecological, social, and personal unravelling happening around (and within) us, and aren’t quite sure how to make sense of it.
Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Or confused. Or disorientated. Or anxiousandpanickingandwonderingwhatthefarkingfarkisgoingon.
Maybe you’re starting to see that a lot about the way we live has gone very, very wrong, and you want to find a more honest, grounded, life-affirming way to be with it all.
Me too.
After years working in mental health and supporting people with anxiety, overthinking, stress and overwhelm, I'm now fascinated by the deeper patterns beneath our personal struggles. The cultural, ecological, and systemic forces that are shaping both our day-to-day experience and wrecking the planet.
Said another way: the reason you feel so darn shit and the reason why another species has become extinct in the time you've read this page have common roots. Let's look there.
"Of all the dangers we face, from climate chaos to nuclear war, none is so great as the deadening of our response.” — Joanna Macy
I’m especially drawn to supporting those who feel 'late' to, or like they don’t ‘fit in’ with ..all this. People who didn’t grow up immersed in nature or raised with ecological wisdom and feel disconnected or out of place in 'that world'. People who, instead, were shaped (like me) by capitalism, productivity culture and distorted stories of worth, success and achievement.
If you’ve spent your life being an unwitting but compliant captive of modernity and are only now starting to feel the call of something more alive, more human, more true...welcome! Yay. You haven’t missed the boat. This is a boat ⛵️
