Therapy Blog
Here you’ll find a whole selection of free articles relating to anxiety, grief, burnout, healing from childhood trauma, neurodivergence and other therapy related topics. I write all my own blogs and share these for your benefit. My hope is you’ll find something of use here.
Self-Care: Exorcising the ghosts of self-disregard
This article is part of a series looking at self-care. Here, we look at the core beliefs that can lead you to resist self-care, and how you can lay those ghosts to rest.
Self-Care: How and Why?
The first in a mini-series of blogs exploring the how and why of compassionate self-care.
Openness to Change
A reflection on the psychological concept of openness - and how a gentle, accepting approach in therapy supports the development of greater openness in your life.
April Showers
Is the constant rain getting you down? This blog explores how rainy weather, and sunnier skies, can be a metaphor for what happens in therapy.
Are you masking?
Who are you behind the mask you’ve needed to adopt? This article explores the theme of masking and unmasking for neurodivergent (ND) people, people impacted by childhood messages and by grief. We explore how counselling can help with making meaning of masking and with unmasking.
Twixmas Reflections
A reflection on Twixmas: that in-between time between Christmas and New Year and what this time has to teach us about the various forms of in-betweeness in life and within the therapeutic relationship.
