You matter
Posted by siteadmin on December 15, 2023
My clients remain in my thoughts between our appointments together and breaks in our work together because I genuinely without any hidden agenda simply care about them, their lives and their world.
Why? because one person did this for me and changed the direction on my life.
I am here , for them, with them when their internal weather is a tornedo or a sunset, walking side by side with them if they can allow me to share in their world as they experience it.
It can be so hard for them to put themselves as a priority in their own life but - Read More

Individuals with complex needs will very often have experience significant trauma particularly around relationships in - Read More

New Year…New you?
Posted by siteadmin on January 5, 2023
“I’ll start it in the New Year”..
It’s something we often say or hear but what does that actually mean?
“I can’t face this right now”
“I want to put this off /avoid it as long as possible”
“I don’t want to think about this”
But what if you did?
What’s stopped you up until now?

What is so important is to ask the questions of yourself without judgement but with curiosity instead…
You aren’t alone and sometimes it’s just so hard or frightening or worrying or confusing to follow through with what we feel might change our lives for the better.

It’s a useful thought for evaluating what we truly want from our life especially when faced with difficult emotions or situations.I have been asked to share with you an incredibly powerful piece of writing by a client who wishes to remain anonymous but is happy for me to share it with you. It is about their experience of the feeling of isolation and moving through to gradually feeling able to step back out into the world again. Thank you G for this amazing gift - Read More
