🌐 www.alanbrodiecounselling.co.uk I am a qualified counsellor, trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and is a member of the professional body COSCA (Counselling and Psych

otherapy in Scotland). I will bring structure and evidence-based techniques from CBT, but also listen closely to what matters most to clients. Every person is unique, so sessions will be shaped around client goals, and at a pace that feels right. I work with clients experiencing all types of anxiety, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, and panic, as well as challenges such as low self-esteem and depression. In therapy, the focus will not only be on easing difficult symptoms, but also on strengthening resilience and confidence in day-to-day life. I have been a husband for over 30 years, a dad for over 25 years, and volunteered in leadership at a community-based charity for more than 20 years. Most of my working life has been in Social Care, where I have provided support and assistance to adults with varied and often complex life challenges. In terms of getting started in therapy with me, I will try to meet your ’ needs and be as flexible as possible with appointment times. I value face to face therapy, but also recognises you may prefer online therapy and I can facilitate this too. If it would help to have a brief introductory chat (phone or online) to discuss therapy details, this can be arranged by first of all emailing or messaging me to request this.

TODAY WAS A GOOD REMINDER TO FOCUS ON WHAT'S AROUND.

As we spent the day outdoors, it reminded me how easy it is to go through life with our minds somewhere else — thinking about what’s happened or worrying about what comes next.

Getting away from the usual routine, seeing somewhere beautiful and giving your mind something different to focus on.

You can’t always quieten your mind, but you can bring it back to the moment you’re in.

It is important that we look after our minds when things are going well - not just when they aren't. Let's make our men...

🌬️ BOX BREATHING – A SIMPLE WAY TO SLOW THINGS DOWN

When you’re feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, your breathing can become quicker and shallower without you even noticing.

Box breathing is a simple technique that can help calm your body and bring your attention back to the present moment.

🫁 Breathe in for 4 seconds
⏸️ Hold for 4 seconds
💨 Breathe out for 4 seconds
⏸️ Hold for 4 seconds

Repeat a few times, at a pace that feels comfortable.

It won’t make the problem disappear, but it can give your mind and body a moment to settle — making it a little easier to think clearly about what comes next.
