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.

Feeling Good Enough for what you want to do

06.09.2021

*Whatever our development focus one area to show up is not feeling good enough to create a change**

Some people refer to themselves as feeling like an imposter.

I always say that this is likely due to high expectations.

Individuals who expect less don't feel this way.

Telling a person to expect less doesn't seems to work!

What seems to work is a twofold process

  1. Raise your awareness of your reality. How does your inner voice sound and when and where does it appear? What are the feelings and words that come with it? What is its impact, the consequences of it?

  2. Decide kind and compassionate, uplifting words and actions that you could say or do in response to your inner critic. Could you speak these to your inner child? Practice these regularly until this is your new helpful and supportive dialogue.

[Tip: write the answers to the above questions down]

Now you are ready to take on the main change that you want to make.
