Most people are exhausted. And it's not exhaustion caused by having made great physical efforts, but by having their mind on autopilot all the time. This causes enormous wear and tear and prevents you from building your own well-being.
The practice of Mindfulness helps you to unburden your mind, promote your inner balance and develop a much healthier and more enjoyable lifestyle.

Burnout, can be unnoticed. Most people who are suffering from burnout don't realise it. When the crisis hits and a diagnosis is made, burnout has already been burning for a long time.
That's why it's important to know what burnout looks like, its symptoms and the subtleties it causes. And one of those subtleties is the increasing difficulty in planning, in making all your tasks fit into your day.  

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

Is ‘positive’ enough to raise well balanced and happy children?
More and more people are using this idea of positive education. But many of these people are leaving gaps in the child's development, which will continue to be lacunae in vital areas when they become adults.
Many young adults who have been brought up with this philosophy are showing terrible difficulties with self-management, low resilience and very little proactivity, to name just a few of the areas affected.


In this episode, I share with you some important aspects of ‘positive education’ and how you can manage your family while also thinking about what kind of adult you want your children to become.

Understanding which approach or therapy is best for you before you start can be difficult.  

In this episode, I'm going to share with you some differences between counselling and psychotherapy that will help you understand which approach will help you find what you want.

Most couples who seek my help don't have a serious problem, but it's their differences, sometimes apparently unimportant trivial things, that are driving them to breaking point.
Because these little things, which in themselves wouldn't be a problem, due to their constant repetition and the wear and tear they cause, make the relationship unsustainable.

Shopaholism can be very subtle, so subtle that it goes unnoticed. It's easy to get caught up in it without even realising it. 
But this habit greatly reduces well-being, life quality and even physical health.

Lots of people live with the hurt of something that was done to them for years and can't let it go. They may even think they've forgiven, but the pain is still there.
How can you change that?
