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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Red Nose Day 2019

Red Nose Day is about bringing people together to have fun, raise money and change the lives of kids who need our help the most.   Sounds, and is, a great idea.  Childhood should be the time of our lives when we are surrounded by love, empowerment and balance but in many families that is not […]

Quit smoking but avoid the pot holes!

Everywhere we turn we are faced with signs asking us to Quit Smoking.  There is a national campaign  to provide smokers with all the evidence to persuade them that smoking is bad for their health and to cease in their own best interests and we have  large scale offerings of how to do that.  We […]

Counselling – No Just Talking in Haywards Heath or Online!

I am still surprised how by just talking about a worry can make the World a nicer place for us to be.  It also never ceases to frustrate me how we are still are so backward about coming forward if we have some emotional sadness that we haven’t overcome. If we have a physical ailment […]

A Star Is Born 2018 – A story of Love, Loss and Addiction

I first saw this movie when it came out in 1976. At that time it was sad but I hadn’t “lost” then so like a lot of what we see and hear it didn’t resonate. This version depicts a great love and a family torn apart by addiction and this certainly resonated as I know […]
