Lots of people follow me for my work as a clinical psychologist and my work in the field of trauma, organisational culture & direct work tools but my other huge love and passion is art. It’s where I get into my best flow state. You can follow my art on instagram under enrichedtexturebykiki

To my colleagues in education. Here's your annual reminder of how we're all tired at the same time (unlike in most other jobs), which can make everything feel tough. Honest communication, plenty of appreciation in every direction and kindness (to self and others) recommended.

A really helpful thread from @neurofabulous.bsky.social which challenges our thinking about groups. When we don’t embrace differences & preferences, even with good intentions, we risk treating everyone the same & not making crucial accommodations & adjustments for individual needs. #EduSky #EdPsychs

It’s so important to be open minded about how stress manifests. We focus a lot on fight and flight. But it can also present as quiet, withdrawn, rigid, and compulsively compliant. “Good behaviour” doesn’t always mean feeling good on the inside. #EdPsychs

I’ve never been comfortable with the term “expert”. It immediately creates a power imbalance, risks a focus on telling instead of listening, and it can be used by others to delay or sidestep their own responsibilities.

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs

Great examples of stories that explain from @lynnmccann.bsky.social. Too many social stories focus on compliance, rather than giving information and validating a range of feelings.

There is so much emphasis on assessments & therapies by external agencies. Everyday relationships have the power to create safety and support regulation. It costs nothing to be kind, playful, accepting, curious, empathetic, predictable, flexible & proactive. #FlipTheNarrative #EdPsychs
