ARE WE TOO PRESCRIPTIVE IN THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE?

In some areas it would seem so.  In general business it would not make sense to produce a product or service that we think is great but the customers don’t.  Most successful businesses would do lots of market research to see what their proposed customer base wanted before investing resources.  So why then does it […]

“Be Who You Are and Say What you Feel…”

I came across a great quote “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind won’t matter and those who matter won’t mind” .  In my work as a Counsellor I am so often presented with so many illogical reasons why someone can’t just be themselves and usually it is because […]

Our Negative Thoughts Makes Us Anxious

Have you ever paid attention to the narrative you tell yourself? I’m too fat;  I’m not good at relationships;  No one really likes me;  I’m rubbish at…;   I’m boring;  I’ve got to be the best;  Everyone is cleaver than I;  etc. etc. Some of these things may be true but if we go around telling ourselves them constantly and also […]

Spring Cleaning For the Mind

The return to sunshine  and lighter, longer days is usually an uplifting thing.  We feel more hopeful, more alive than those dark days of winter.  We want to renew and refresh our homes and sometimes our lives.  However for some of us we don’t feel that renewed energy – we just feel worse that we […]

DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE CLOSE WHO STRUGGLES WITH ADDICTION?

One of the hardest thing in the World is to watch (The Concerned) someone (The Addicted) destroy themselves – little by little.  The method of their destruction is in fact not so important as the fact that they are hurting so much inside (even if they don’t actually realise it) that they do so.  Therefore, […]

ARE YOU HUNG OVER TODAY – AGAIN?

Feeling fragile today? Had a bit too much of a ‘Great’ weekend?  What made it ‘Great’?  Can you remember it even? If you find yourself feeling a little ‘rough’ on rare occasions, then I get it.   Sometimes we just need to blow off a little steam and although it might not be very PC for […]

Grief Counselling and Skype

It happened without any announcement.  I was all set.  I’d spent a long time getting to a place I was comfortable with. Me, my counselling clients and Skype were a good team.  We were happy. We were productive.  We could travel apart but come together.  We knew we would journey together for the foreseeable future […]

Who Are You?

Usually we just accept that things are ‘just the way they are’ and in particular ‘I am just the way I am’.  But usually we haven’t given much thought to this particular way of being – it is just how it is.  Until……..things start to go wrong, really wrong and we can’t seem to make […]

Mother’s Day – A day for celebrating or a day for regrets?

Most of us instantly see Mothers Day as a day for celebrating and thanking our mums for looking after us and doing the best they could for us during our lives.  However by definition the noun Mother is “a woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth” and for […]
