What I’ve learned from 10 years of therapy - and why it’s time to stop Therapy was like finding a key for a door that had been locked my whole life. Here are the nine things it’s taught me

Mindful Moments for Going Back To The Office : Contented Mind How to look after your mental health at work

Exciting news!

Since the success of my first mindfulness course, I have been busy with my private counselling practice but wondering when I could fit another course in!

I can now announce that from Monday 10th Jan next year I will be running another 6 week evening mindfulness course (to help people start 2022 well!) and then more on Mondays evenings throughout the year.

PM me to register your interest.

Having had a month off with my family.. I was excited to get back into Walk and Talk today with clients. Nature and talking is a tonic..

Feel free to PM or call me if you think you might benefit from some outdoor therapy.

Walking or running in nature with a therapist is helping people heal Outdoor therapy can help people to become reflective and their body language while moving gives clues to their feelings

I now have my own room in central Glossop and can offer early mornings, daytime or evenings to fit around my clients.. Adults and teenagers

Trying to bottle things up, keeping a lid on it, hiding thoughts and feelings.. Its good to talk. The bravery is being kind to yourself and getting the support you deserve .

I'm in search of two chairs to use in a new counselling room in Glossop if you might have some you are selling..

Counselling for teenagers and adults will be available as walk and talk, online and in person at any time of the day and at weekends.

Much of my work is with teenagers in schools. I work in schools where mental health is a priority.. This is brilliant to see, but of course, there can be waiting lists.
To any parents who are considering support for their child privately, I can work either outside or in a room in central Glossop.
In many cases, teenagers are struggling with mental health issues which when not worked through, can potentially become a bigger problem. Anxiety, low mood, low confidence, self esteem, grief and loss, panic attacks can really affect a teenagers quality of life. Some of these problems are common and can be worked through to achieve great results.
Counselling can really help- Something for them, something confidential and supportive; A place for them to be truly themselves and to develop and to look at issues in a trusting and relaxed way. I have many years of working with teenagers and they are truly amazing! Feel free to message me or call for an informal chat if you think your child might benefit from having someone outside of the family to explore their issues and feelings . Penny 😊

Dear Therapist: What’s Your Advice to Parents Whose Kids Are Stuck at Home During the Coronavirus Lockdowns? I’m making sure that our kids exercise, have a schedule, spend time outside each day, and try to maintain as normal a life as possible. What more can I do?

This is a useful way of measuring where we might be.

How brilliant
