Past or Present?

Posted by on August 13, 2026

Some people wonder why the counselling I offer incorporates looking at their experiences and situations in the past, as well as thinking about what’s happening right now

For me, this quote sums it up perfectly I think x

If we spend our time living in the past, we miss being able to experience what’s truly happening now or being able to fully embrace new ideas or situations that might benefit us.

Is counselling right for me?

Posted by on August 9, 2026

I know the path is steep right now,

And heavy clouds hang on your brow.

But take a breath, and look at me —

You have more strength than you can see.

I will sit here by your side,

Through every rough and turning tide.

You survived the storm that brought you here;

You have the truth to face the fear.

Together we will see it through,

And find the path that’s right for you.

You are unbroken, wise, and true —

Step forward now, and trust in you.

Angry – do you really know why?

Posted by on February 5, 2016

Anger, when expressed well, can get things done, invigorate movement and provoke change. Whilst it’s an emotion that we can also misuse, anger tells us to look at what’s really bothering us and needs to be listened to or changed.

Listening to the meaning in your anger rather than simply reacting can be incredibly empowering and enabling – next time you feel angry perhaps try to take a moment to wonder what it is that you feel in your body…are you scared, anxious, worried, feeling unsafe – once you know then you can act if you need to or not.
