Scribblings of a Psychotherapist

  The festive season...it can be tricky to navigate at times, can't it?   The upcoming festive holiday season can be a tricky time for many people. There might be financial concerns; the pressure to people-please or meet other people's expectations or demands; the strain of having to attend social occasions that make you feel uncomfortable; the stress on relationships and work; as well as the pressure to feel 'happy' and 'jolly' because it's the holiday season (even when we might actually feel sad, anxious, angry or overwhelmed inside). Sound familiar? Well, if it does, the poster below notes some strategies that might help you cope a little more through the festive season. And, of course, if you feel you need a little more support in the run up to the holiday season, we do still have some appointments available before we close for our holiday too. So, feel free to drop us an email or message if you need some extra support and we'll let you know what app...

MONDAY MOTIVATION     Here's this week's Monday Motivation: ''The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change''. Do we really want to change? Do we feel ready for change? Change is a big deal and important when seeking help, support, psychotherapy or counselling. Sometime we really want things to change, but don't know how this can be possible, or we may feel we are faced with barriers, obstacles or limitations. Do you want to change but feel there are obstacles? How can we overcome these? What support can we get to help with this? What are the reasons for wanting to change? How can we bring about change? If you are looking for some support with change, feel free to get in touch. We offer a range of services including psychotherapy, counselling and dietitian/nutrition services. We also offer a range of services, including clinical supervision, to other therapists too.    Get in touch today to find out how you can take that first ...
