Our Inner Child
Posted by siteadmin on May 17, 2019
Our “inner child” is a reference that is heard more and more outside of counselling. One dictionary definition describes it as “a person’s supposed original or true self, especially when regarded as concealed in adulthood”. Our inner child often comes out unconsciously and consciously in our thinking, behaviour and actions, both positive and less so, and when acknowledged can provide vital communications of unresolved or poorly negotiated development phases. Where a child has suffered distress this can be held by our inner child element which can manifest in adulthood and influence aspects of our life.
Counselling can help individuals re-work areas which - Read More
Hummingbirds have a lot to teach us…
Posted by siteadmin on April 28, 2019
New cushions in The Cabin feature these beautiful Hummingbirds.
A bird full of much symbolism “A hummingbird is so many things in so many ways. It is a bringer of joy, luck, hope, comfort, love, appreciation, enjoyment, independence, freedom, and optimism. A bird of its kind is rare in itself. You would be surprised to know that they possess a rare ability to fly in all directions, including backwards! While nature may have given it this ability to remove its long bill from the flower after relishing the sweet nectar, spiritually it signifies the need to look back in life, cherish - Read More
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…

It’s all about the little steps…
Posted by siteadmin on April 13, 2018
Have just got back from a joggle (the name i give for somewhere in between a walk/trot/jog/run ) and saw this post and thought how fitting it was, physically and emotionally. Counselling is all about the little steps combined with at times giant steps that can occur alongside which enables clients to find their pace and create their stride. It’s hard when we want elements of our life to improve quickly and when we stop fighting that notion then the speed for healing increases. To everyone in counselling or thinking about it – little steps, there are counsellors like - Read More
Boundaries
Posted by siteadmin on April 13, 2018
Boundaries underpin your personal values and sense of self and making sure that they are in place promotes positive well being. Understanding of what is important to you to engage with your yourself and others in a healthy, genuine way gives you the sense of self that knows what feels acceptable and what doesn’t and this is the foundation for a solid core self from which to grow and love.

Identifying controlling/manipulative relationships
Posted by siteadmin on June 29, 2017
Often it’s difficult to realise that we may be being emotionally manipulated to fulfil the low self-esteem or narcissistic tendencies of another. You may be told it’s all your fault, you are the reason why your partner or friend behaves in a certain negative way, that you have ‘driven’ them to act in this way and that you must constantly attempt to make amends for being… ‘abusive or thoughtless’ of their needs.
They might praise you in one breath and then subtly attack you in another leaving you confused and doubting yourself. They might display behaviours such as giving you - Read More
