Angela Hecht Therapy

Angela Hecht Therapy Psychotherapeutic counsellor Life is difficult. But obstacles don’t have to stop you.

I work with adults and adolescents, who are experiencing personal difficulties, to help them overcome their problems and to give them the tools to make appropriate changes to their lives. Whether this is an eating disorder, anxiety and depression, or relationship difficulties, I can work with you using a variety of different approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), to help you pick yourself up again. I am an Occupational Therapist with over 40 years’ experience in mental health. As a member of the original team who formulated and established the therapeutic treatment programmes for the Priory Hospital in Glasgow, I have vast experience in both individual and group therapy. I have a particular focus on eating disorders and worked in the specialist eating disorders unit at the Priory for a number of years before broadening my experience to the voluntary sector, mentoring adults and providing psychotherapeutic counselling. I have also been heavily involved in the Children’s Panel and sat on the Children’s Panel Advisory Committee for a number of years. My passion in life is to help others and to help you to find a way to be happy with what you have and to pursue all that you want

We all worry about how other people see us but some of us are overly concerned about what others think of them and become anxious and unhappy at the thought of anyone disliking, being disapproving or being offended in any way by them. No one’s value as a person is dependent on anyone else’s approval! We can’t like everyone and not everyone can like us!
At the end of the day what others think of us is really none of our business!

When someone is struggling with their mental health the recurring thoughts are often “ why is everyone else coping with their life and I can’t! “ “ I’m less than others because I’m unable to manage and others can! “
Thoughts like these are absolutely untrue in so many ways and are so damaging for our self esteem and self confidence!
It’s so important not to judge but to support and be there!

We’re all affected by how others see us to some degree but when we crave others approval in order to feel good about ourselves or happy then we need to find ways to modify or change the way we think! We have absolutely no control over what others think or how they behave and actually what others think of us is really none of our business!

We all predict anxiety sometimes, but when there are so many “ what ifs “ in our head all the time it makes it so hard to try and stay in the present where we all need to be! Most of the time the bad things we spend so much time and energy anticipating they will happen don’t actually happen anyway!
It’s hard work challenging our “ what ifs “ but living with constantly heightened anxiety is also exhausting!

So many of us become really expert at masking how we are really feeling. The problem with hiding our true feelings is they just become an increasingly heavy burden to bear. There are many reasons for not being truthful about how we feel. It can be fear of being judged, of not being understood, of being laughed at, of not wanting to worry or burden others.
The trouble is we then feel disappointed and angry with ourselves for not being able to help ourselves to feel better or cope better.
Sometimes we need to reach out for a bit of outside help or support in the same way we would if we had a physical problem.

Anxiety can filter into every part of our life and make it so hard to navigate through the day! It’s like an octopus whose tentacles touch everything and not in a good way!
It chips away at our self confidence and lowers our self esteem and makes us second guess every decision!
It’s so important that we learn how to manage our anxiety so that it isn’t able to damage our quality of life!
Reach out for support.

For some strange reason men seem to struggle more with a perception of stigma surrounding mental health struggles than women do. Men struggle with the same issues as women. Low mood, anxiety and stress and often not feeling good enough.
We all need to encourage our menfolk to reach out for help and support and help them to get the best quality of life they possibly can.
