DANCING WITH THE BLACK DOG called depression

I came across this blog by “Unhappy in Heels” which I thought I would share.  It gives a great insight into how depression and recovery from it can feel for some people. “Watching the rows of silver heads bobbing up and down in front of me as the little orange bus hurtles over speed bumps, […]

The Death of Margaret Thatcher – A View from Haywards Heath Counselling

How interesting that there were such strong and contrasting views of the leadership of Margaret Thatcher.  Each view seemed to be so strongly held that it had become that person’s belief that this was the only rational view of the situation.    However when it all comes down to it – whether you loved or hated […]

A 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 […]

Counselling for Secrets and Lies in Haywards Heath and Beyond

A New Year Resolution 2013 in Haywards Heath

Most years we all make resolutions that most of us don’t keep. Many of us often say “this year things are going to change”. However things don’t change. We do. If relationships etc are not going so well sometimes it isn’t just about changing them it is also figuring out what is going on with […]
