I heard people say don't look back, the past has passed. I believe this is totally true. But what has happened in our past shapes what we do today and in the future.
Is it useful to:
1. Learn from our past so to make the most of today and our future.
2. Make sure that our past isn't stopping us unconsciously by wrongly or negitively affecting
our discussions in the present.
Take care

Anxiety is natural and evolved to keep us out of danger.
If we stop listening to it it finds ways of getting our attention.
Learning to work with our anxieties and what they are trying to tell us can be the start of hearing what needs changing . We can then help with soothing the anxiety if the change can't happen or start working towards what and how to change things.
The emotional part of the brain will try to plan the change if not listerned to but it's not designed to do that. Working with our logical thinking part of the brain will help come up with the best plan or explain what can't be changed atm.
Can you think of ways to embrace and support your anxieties instead of blocking and resisting them.

I often ask clients what's your passion and what do you feel is your purpose? Some are quite clear about both others have lost touch with both. Others struggle to find an answer. I wonder if this topic can be related to depression and change?

How many men struggle with the thoughts and the feelings around who is the real me and how much of me is acceptable?
Acceptable to me and acceptable to others?
Where do you feel safe enough to be your true self?
Take care x

ADHD is a popular topic at the moment. But what is it, what to do about it, why is there so much talk about people having it now are common questions.
There's a book call "ADHD a Hunter in a Farmers world" by Tim Hartman that I think gives an interesting explanation around the human relationship with ADHD.
Lots of my clients talk about ADHD traits as a barrier to having a better life.
It can be confusing or bewildering for a person to navigate and implement their particular traits. There is often a difference between ADHD in genders as well.
Traits may include:
Seeing a project to the end
Doing things in the right order
Remembering appointments
Avoiding complicated projects
Making careless mistakes
Trouble keeping attention when doing a boring task
Misplacing things
Get distracted by activity around you
Fidgety
Struggle to relax when you have time on your own
Interrupting others and /or excessive talking
Untidiness.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions around this topic.
Never be afraid to seek the right help if you feel you need help or support.

Getting a diagnosis can take over two years on the NHS. I usually costs over £1000 to have it done privately.

Happy New Year to you all!

For many, January can be a tricky month to navigate through.

But, it can also be a great time to reflect on what you would like from the year ahead, and set some realistic goals!

What would you like to focus on improving or changing this year? What barriers are in your way to feeling lighter, happier, a better version of ‘you’?

I talk to lots of people about overcoming barriers to their goals - talking can help to reduce or even remove them completely!

I’d love to talk with you if any of this sounds familiar to you - please get in touch for a chat today!

Stigma. I have heard a few times how having a life or work coach is really beneficial and can even be seen as a sign of status and self worth ( nothing wrong with any of that) yet getting to see a counsellor has be seen as something you should keep quiet about ("they'll think you're mad"- "there's nothing wrong with me").
Finding the right counsellor for you and working through things that are stopping you live your best life can really help.
So if you are struggling with an issue why not give counselling a go.
All counsellors do their best to make sure you are with the right person. Finding the right counsellor is where the best chance of successful therapy can be found.

I see a lot of men and women who feel they have lost their purpose and Passion in life.
Together we work through why this is and what can be done about it and, if necessary, where these feelings have come from.
Sometimes clarity on why we feel the way we do can really help us move forward.
WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE AND PASSION.
Thanks for visiting my page and reading this. Roger

I talk to a lot of men and women that are suffering from "STRESS".
When we look at this it often turns out to be a mixture of stress, anxiety and depression. Splitting the three things up helps to deal with them individually. This is a lot more successful.
My initial " meet me" session is still free so why not come along and see if we can work together.

Goodbye Winter, hello Spring!! 🌱🌼🌿🌸

This recent wave of warm weather has brought a very welcome glimpse of the summery days to come soon!

At Down to Earth Counselling, nature is coming out of hibernation and springing back to life - our sensory garden is starting to show some colour, and we have tadpoles in the mini pond!

Talking amongst nature can be very calming, and we have the option to hold our counselling sessions inside or outside.

Contact me today for a chat, and let’s discuss what amazing things you can achieve this year!!

As the evenings get darker and the wet and cold sets in, the winter can be a tough time for many of us.

If this time of year can leave you feeling a bit low or out of sorts, now could be a good time to think about the strategies you can use to help lift your mood.

Talking is just one way to help reduce feelings of stress and worry. If reaching out to a friend or relative isn’t quite hitting the mark, you could try talking to a trained listener or counsellor like me.

No problem is too small to talk about.

Take care all.
