Supporting
@IpswichTown
started when they weren't successful for me, I was keen to find something my son and I could do together that would forever bond us- I couldn't have predicted the highs the club have given us.
How has
#itfc
impacted your life? Feel free to post a pic
Well done
@IpswichTown
! As supporters let’s celebrate this initiative rather than spread hate - what an amazing opportunity to give these CHILDREN who have been through life changing events

I haven’t upgraded my shirt this season as I feel like this is one my lucky shirt……but I think the third kit is 🤍 and may need to make a purchase today!

John has given me consent to let every person that has shown concern and messages and commented that he has reached out to me. He is so touched by everyone’s support.
#itfc
is more than just football it’s a community - love and family.
I've spent the weekend finally embracing it -an age that is a privilege and denied to many, including my best friend 💔
Not a party in sight as requested by me (can't think of anything worse) but a big family get together at the beach hut - you can't beat suffolk❤️
2022 I pushed myself to get over a fear of large crowds to support
#itfc
and strengthen the bond I have with my son,as he is getting older it felt important to embrace our mutual love for the team, ST have been amazing, getting out of the comfort zone is where the magic happens!
The best thing about supporting
@IpswichTown
is the quality time I have with my son 💙…….even if he has a football for a head! Still buzzing!!! NOTE TO SELF BRING A COAT

For the first time in 22 years..

My son didn’t go and get his haircut today ( as booked by me) because the last 2 times Ipswich lost, he had been there the same day- THATS REASON ENOUGH FOR ME👏👏

12 years ago today Gary Speed died by suicide! Check in on your mates, the funny/ happy ones need you too!
Its a tragedy to lose someone this way, and heartbreaking to be the friend/ family member left behind.
Raise awareness
75% of suicides are men!
What happened to just giving your child an Easter egg - or a little hunt in the garden!?! The stuff I'm seeing on social media 🤯Sorry kids..... mumma is old school- enjoy your kitkat £5 egg 🤣 and some crème eggs in the garden!!!
Sometimes you have to go outside your comfort zone- today was definitely one of those days. Although I deliver training in the hospital, this was a long presentation in the community with a large attendance and no others speakers .....definitely nerve wracking but worth it!
#NewProfilePic
starting my NHS counselling clinic next week- already a waiting list.....looking forward to seeing what provision is needed to expand the service further, creating more opportunities for free therapy! Access to good mental health support is very important to me. 💙
Results are in!!! I can’t believe I’ve done it….I am someone who didn’t pass a GCSE the first time round and spent years believing I was not capable of Uni, I’m overwhelmed that I’ve managed to get a FIRST CLASS HONOURS degree after serious amounts of hard work!
Well deserved - credit where credit
is due- one of the best mental health videos raising important awareness of preventing suicide. 👏👏 well done

Incredibly proud to win the EFL's Innovation Award 🥲
As a club, we are humbled to see the reaction to our
#YouAreNotAlone
video, and hope that we managed to portray a very important message in the right way 💛
What a night! The anxiety and frustrations in the air during last 15 mins were fierce but was left on such a high - I just love this club 💙🤍 a well deserved point.

What hides behind your smile? Being a counsellor does not exempt me from mental health battles. The statistics show few people go through their life without periods of struggle. I will never pretend that I am different from anyone else and will always raise awareness!
It was amazing to meet so many people
Yesterday that I've met through Ipswich Town/ X - some are now very dear friends - The love of football and its community should not be underestimated.
@IpswichTown
and the supporters who became important to me got be through the hard times.
Today is
#InternationalMensDay
. This year’s theme is Zero Male Suicide.
75% of lives lost to suicide in 2021 were male.
The biggest contributor to male suicidality is society’s norms & pressures regarding emotional suppression, success, and devaluing interpersonal needs in men.
To all new followers, Hi I'm Jen, I'm an Integrative Counsellor/ Psychotherapist- new availability slots for a Monday clinic in person or Zoom coming soon. Email jen

Will be lovely to be able to actually make weekend plans soon- every weekend in May....."Sorry I can't commit, not sure what
#itfc
will be doing!?!" Not good when you turn 40 in May. 😩
I will always advocate for mens mental health - I understand that in many situations the world is rigged against you.
I celebrate your sacrifices
I celebrate your strengths
I celebrate your weakness
Happy International Mens Day!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2024. I've only used twitter a short time
and I can't thank everyone enough for the support particularly the
#itfc
fans for welcoming me into their community. I've met the best people through
@IpswichTown
It's more than football 💙🤍THANK YOUX
Felt slightly deflated yesterday but it was a great game to watch, loved that atmosphere - McKenna stressing that there’s learning from it - my learning is that I cannot leave the ground at the 90min mark to get to the car park…….ever!!!!
