The Baines Blog

I hope you find something here that helps you feel a little more seen. Whether you're grieving a beloved pet, wrestling with anxiety, navigating a relationship, or just trying to make sense of your inner world, these reflections are written with you in mind. There’s no one-size-fits-all path through pain or healing, but sometimes, reading a few honest words can remind you that you're not alone in what you're feeling.

Written from the perspective of a therapist with a soft spot for animals and a deep respect for the human experience, this blog is a space for compassion, insight, and connection.
