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 […]

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, […]

Anger is a basic emotion that we are born with. It can be both a good and a bad thing. It can be indiscriminate fireworks or a cancerous bundle of resentment. Anger in its pure form can be something that can empower us to do something and make changes. However, depending on how much we […]

This isn’t a new issue and sadly I don’t think by having a Day to highlight it, it will be the last. Perpetrators of violence against women probably won’t even be aware that we are coming for them. As a counsellor I have the greatest respect for a past abuser who realises it is wrong […]

Every day people are silently (and not so silently) fighting a Battle. A Battle against homelessness, a Battle against drugs, a Battle against alcohol, a Battle against pain – emotional as well as physical, a Battle against poverty. These Battles may not be so well known as the bigger Battles carried out by Country against […]

Online Counselling – what is it and why do it? We live in a transient time when, if you want it, the World can be our oyster but just because some of us seize that opportunity it doesn’t always mean that the journey is smooth.

Wow. We now have a special day to make “#time to talk”. But as one of the complaints I hear from clients is “I find it difficult to talk” or “he/she won’t talk to me” if we now let ourselves off the hook by providing a special day for letting others know how we feel – […]

It’s here again – that time when some of us feel compelled to make Changes. A New Year seems to hypnotise us into making new resolutions to stop eating so much, stop drinking so much, find a better job, find a better relationship, stop gambling etc. etc. But unless we are 100% committed to making changes […]
