The good news is that these negative beliefs can be challenged and we can grow in confidence and become more assertive. Passiveness can be equally as damaging as aggressiveness.

Cognitive, Behavioural Therapy can certainly help by challenging the cycle of negative and unhelpful thinking, leading to negative emotions, leading to negative behaviour.

Learning that anxiety will not kill you and that you can develop anxiety busting techniques which, when practiced, will enable you to reduce your own anxiety to a reasonable level, really helps.

I can also come to your workplace to deliver talks on issues affecting your employees.

‘What is your anger costing you?’ If the answer is a lot, then it may be time to come and take on a 6 week anger management course I can provide. Anger is a very strong emotion and the aim is not to eliminate it altogether but to contain it in an appropriate way, defusing it before it can do the damage. Get to know your triggers and turn volatile reactions into more reasonable responses and find a calmer way forward.

There are no short cuts or easy answers but talking to someone who will listen in a safe place can help. Don’t forget that we can suffer from these feelings of loss in many situations including divorce, redundancy, illness, disability and others.

I offer clients warmth and understanding and strive to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Statistics prove that counselling or ‘talking therapy’ can benefit many people. £45 per hour for a one to one counselling session and/or video sessions – student concession available.
