Christmas and Counselling – All from your computer

I am not sure if there are any statistics about how parcels will be delivered between now and Christmas but I do know that many more people have shopped online this year presumably, if they are anything like me, they work late hours and/or are desperate to avoid the inevitable long queues in stuffy shops.  […]

It’s nearly the “Silly Season” again aka Christmas

Christmas will soon be upon us and with all that entails for each of us.  But however we do (or don’t) celebrate Christmas it does seem to bring a certain expectation that we can act out of character and it’s ok.  We often partake in the wearing of loosely disguised paper napkins on our heads […]

Drinking to Oblivion – A Counselling Perspective

In light of the Louis Theroux’s documentary on BBC TV last night, the sad thing is that addictions are still such a “hidden” thing.
