Helpful articles

I regularly publish a short article or helpful snippet to my Linked In page and to my blog. I have reproduced them below, for ease of reading. Firstly though, a general piece that can serve as an overview for the articles that follow:

Personal Counselling Issues

One of the most common issues that clients want to address when they meet me, is their ongoing anxiety. The feelings and thoughts involved are emotionally tiring and hold you back from doing what you want, whether that’s pursuing your career goal or going to that exercise class that you booked.

Closely linked with this is improving confidence. Self-doubt and turbulence in thought and behaviour mean that opportunities are not taken advantage of and you feel stuck.

Wanting to be more positive and motivated is another common issue, where you feel drawn towards the negative and find your energy levels are low.

Some clients ‘just want to be happier’ in their life, rather than feeling sad and not being able to clearly understand why.

Relationships feature in this for a lot for clients, who know that they are not giving or receiving love well and worry constantly about it.

Better mental health is a goal for many people.

I will spend time with you identifying what you want and helping you to achieve your outcomes. I do not believe that we need to dig down and analyse your past, something that has often been shown to make things worse for individuals.

I can help and support you with your goals in your current role and with your goals for your future

My posts are often about the things that you can do for yourself.

Today's is about being curious about what work contentment or happiness is for you.

  1. Consider then write down words that define happiness at work for you right now. Not in 5 years time.

This might comprise tasks that you enjoy doing, skills that you enjoy applying, how you like to work, who you like working with, where you like working, when you like working...

  1. What is your work identity? For example, you may see yourself as a servant leader helping your customers in some way.

  2. What is your work purpose? For example, to be the best 'x' you can be.

  3. What factors do you perceive as outside of your control affecting your work happiness? For example, you may want to change roles but think that you would not be able to match your existing remuneration which, having done the maths, you need to support your existing lifestyle? You may decide to think about this some more. For example, would you change your lifestyle to be simpler if you had a chance at greater work happiness?

  4. What other factors are negatively impacting your work happiness? For example, comparing yourself with others rather than getting more in touch with your own definition of work happiness.

So go, be bold, be strong. I am here for you if you need me by contacting me.
