6 Ways to improve your mental health - Tip number 3.

πŸ’œ Ask for help - as long as it's from the right person πŸ’œ
Talking about how you feel really helps, but you don't need someone who is going to tell you to buck up or how much worse they feel than you, or even necessarily try to fix things for you.
If you don't have a suitable friend, call a reputable counsellor (like me) or a free helpline.

6 Ways to improve your mental health - Tip number 2

πŸ’œ Avoid comparisons πŸ’œ
Don't fall into the trap of looking at everyone else and thinking how much better they're doing than you are. Most people are struggling at least some of the time; they're just hiding it - just as you probably are.
πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ In any event they're not you so they're not going to feel like you do.

πŸ’œ Find one thing a day to be glad of πŸ’œ
If things are tough it's difficult to avoid looking on the dark side. But there is always something positive; so make an effort every day to find one thing, no matter how small, that has gone well or that you're grateful for.

I used to be a regular client but haven't been for ages. Can I come back?

πŸ’œ Of course! It doesn't matter when or why you stopped coming, I'm always glad to welcome previous clients back into the clinic provided I have capacity in my diary.

If you were a Bowen client I might suggest you have another new client assessment programme, depending on how long it is since you were last here, but it's entirely up to you.

Why Magic Hands : Calm Minds?

When I first started my clinic, my clients would contact me saying 'I need your magic hands to fix my ###'.

✨ So Magic Hands became the obvious choice for naming my business.

✨ Then they started talking about how calming they found the treatment and so Magic Hands : Calm Minds was born!

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia?

😴 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a specialist treatment specifically designed to resolve clinical insomnia. It works by both challenging your beliefs about sleep, and reprogramming your brain to sleep better.

β€‹πŸ˜΄ Effective treatment takes only 4-6 sessions, held fortnightly, although you might choose to have more if you want to address any associated issues like anxiety or depression which are affecting your sleep. You don't have to stop taking any sleep medication to undergo the therapy and the results are long lasting, if not permanent. Sessions can be held face to face or online.

πŸ’œ An initial consultation is required to establish your suitability for the therapy, which is at no extra charge.

Are you spending any time outside today? β˜€οΈ

I am very much enjoying the blue sky, birdsong and little signs of nature waking up. And it's light until 6pm!

Different therapists use this term to mean different things, but when I use it I mean that I work with your reality, in the place that you are in.

✨ So I might have an idea of a tool or technique I want to use in your next session but when you arrive and answer the usual opening question of 'How are you?' it often becomes clear that you need something quite different today.

✨ Equally I don't care if your issue is one that anyone would struggle with, or something that some people might consider trivial.

✨ I don't give you advice (most of the time!) or tell you what the answer to your problems is, because I'm not you and what might work for me - or anyone else - isn't necessarily the right thing for you.

✨ I'll also assume that everything you tell me is correct from your perspective, however it might appear to someone else, and that you're operating with the best intentions.

✨ No matter how 'bad' what you feel or do might seem, there's a good reason for you feeling or doing it.

Grief is a natural process and if you try to prevent yourself feeling it, whether for your own sake or someone else’s, you’ll actually end up feeling it for longer.

πŸ’œ Have a look at this blog and please do let me know your thoughts ⬇️

Not all people who suffer a loss or bereavement need counselling, but those who do usually say this at some point in the process; usually very early on. In fact it's the feeling that they should be 'over it' by now that often prompts them to come for counselling in the first place. If they

What is Bowen Therapy?

1916 - Tom Bowen in Victoria, Australia devised a system of gentle, remedial therapy using rolling-type moves over a number of location points on the body to correct disturbances, areas that are blocked, injured or undergoing changes to posture. It is non-invasive and completely safe.

This soft tissue remedial treatment sets about restoring the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

When I conduct a session, I carry out a number of Bowen moves over specific points on the surface of the body and then I stop temporarily, allowing you to rest and for your body to process the information it has just received. These pauses are a unique and fundamental part of each treatment.

Each treatment is deeply relaxing as areas of the body begin to release unwanted tension and stress and the client leaves feeling relaxed, free of discomfort and with an increased sense of well-being and energy. There is usually a minimum of 3 treatments 5-10 days apart then maintenance treatments as and when necessary. Treatments are given either seated or on a massage table with plenty of support.
