Therapy
If you are experiencing emotional difficulties and are looking for help this website is here to help you and is completely free of charge.

I offer one off stand alone consultations to guide you in taking steps to well being.
“You cannot do it alone; but you alone can do it.”
My approach to therapy is:
I cannot change how people treat you, I cannot change the circumstances that are causing you distress, I can help you to change how you respond and this will change your experience for the better.
Simply – your response to what life throws at you makes your current situation what it is.
“Changing your response – will change your situation.”

Interventions – how to change
Change your response – to change your situation
Putting this simple but effective principle into action may save you a lot of money but most importantly it will improve your life.
We spend a lot of time in our culture blaming, either ourselves or others, and imagining if something about us, e.g. our weight, our moods, how clever we are………. or others, was different, life would be so much better.
If we stop looking to change things about ourself or others that we probably can’t and instead accept that this is how it is, then is we can free ourselves up to live better now.
ACCEPTANCE is often a key step to enable us to change our response. However, people of mistake acceptance for putting up with a situation – this is not what I mean:
My partner is beating me up – it upsets me, I want them to stop, are you saying I should just accept it?
No not the beatings but if you can accept that you are not responsible for the beatings, so whatever you do will not stop the beatings, you will then see you have a choice to walk away or stay in the situation.
