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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

ARE YOU ANGRY AND IF SO ARE YOU SMOULDERING OR EXPLOSIVE?

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 […]

Violence Against Women

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 […]
