In Couple Therapy, I do separate sessions. That means a session with each of the partners on the same day. 

Listen to this episode to see how this works and the benefits of this approach.

Anxiety is seen as normal, but it's not natural. Anxiety and stress are emotions that are extremely harmful both to your health and well-being and to your performance.

In this episode I'm here to demystify the idea that you have to live with anxiety. Because you don't! You can learn to get out of it.

Some people look like they were born to be a punching bag. There's always someone mistreating them. They experience bullying, domestic violence or simply being picked on by bosses, colleagues or even people they barely know.
What's the problem? Is it their fault?  

In this episode, I'll help you understand what's behind it.

When faced with depression, the usual approach is to start by analysing the problem in depth. For many people, this can be quite scary.
Counselling provides a different approach. It doesn't start by analysing, but by giving the client very practical tools to start reducing the impact of the problem until it is overcome.  

The content shared in this podcast does not dispense with the need to consult a counsellor.

Meditation means just observing something with undivided attention, developing the ability to be in the present moment, to take a break from the draining autopilot that our mind tends to be on.
In this episode, I'm going to guide you through a Simple Meditation, which you can then continue to practise, even without listening to me.

In this episode, I'll help you better understand this mindset shift that counselling brings you and what it means to learn how to navigate the storms of life instead of letting yourself be consumed and boycotted by worry or anxiety.

Neets - Young people who no longer study or work, some in their 30s or older.
The problem seems to be that they are still dependent on their parents. But much more serious than that is that for many of these young people this has become a pattern in their brains. They've become stuck somewhere back there, unable to create their own life path.

In this episode I'm going to help you understand this problem and what can be done about it.

Behaviours that seem to be just an exaggerated tendency to be close or helpful could be something much more serious than that - they could be stalking, one of the several kinds of bullying.

In this episode, I'm going to help you understand this problem, which you may be experiencing yourself without realising it.
