Past or Present?
Posted by siteadmin 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.
Equally, if we spend our time living in the present, we miss being able to reflect and grow, extend our choices or make different decisions as we will always come up with - Read More
Is counselling right for me?
Posted by siteadmin 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.

Anger…and / or something else
Posted by siteadmin on October 25, 2018
Anger can cloak an array of feelings – it is often one of the rawest emotions to display and yet when we look past its hot or coldness to it’s true source the emotions and feelings are often very different. If you experience someone who is angry maybe take a moment before reacting to what you see and experience on the surface and ask yourself where is this really coming from…frustration…pain…grief…embarrassment…shame…guilt…rage…irritation…upset…fear of being close…fear of being apart…fear…
Angry – do you really know why?

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.
