Panic
As a counsellor in training I have had clients who have been exhibiting signs of panic and anxiety and I have been able to relate to them well as I have been there too.

Using CBT within Person-Centred Therapy
Until I started my training to become a counsellor, I had not experienced Person-Centred Therapy, I had only had CBT and at that point I was not a fan.

I am fine thanks…
Ever feel like you are walking along a bridge that may give way? I walked along one the other day and it was scary, there were a few gaps, places that looked unsafe and it was wobbling. I started to think about how it relates to life and the precarious situations we can find ourselvesContinue reading “I am fine thanks…”
