About me and my therapy practice:

Are you finding things overwhelming, feeling anxious or stuck, unable to move on or just have a general sense of not being happy? Maybe your struggling to connect with others right now, friends, family, partners or spouse or simply they just don't understand you and what you may be going through. I will help you explore your feelings and emotions and support you

in getting to the root of the problem and finding your own solutions; sometimes it can be a case of looking at something from a different perspective or angle. Practice description:

Many suggest modes of 'dealing' with anger that can be suppressive or even shaming: meditating, deep breathing, releasing, letting go and more.

Why sometimes shaming? Because they may imply that anger arises because something is wrong with you, something that needs to be fixed or corrected, as opposed to something meaningful and purposeful.

While these approaches can be temporily useful in certain violent moments, they are incomplete and essentially not psychological - psychology is about exploration and communication with the psyche.

In that vein, when I work with a client on their anger, I say let's explore it, get behind it, examine it, allow it to manifest here with me in our session. I say, "Feel it in your body, make a sound, draw a picture, imagine an image, show it to me..."

I want to get to know their anger and, in doing so, I want the client to make a better relationship with it.

This way we can uncover and demystify its meaning and usefulness by allowing it to manifest freely in a safe environment.

When that happens, clients invariably find that hidden inside their anger is needed energy, power or insight about the ways they are being treated inside of themselves or in the world around them.

Or, they discover life changes they need to make - changes they are unable to make without greater connection to their power, confidence or fire, including career directions and relationship changes.

When people do not gain these insights, anger is likely to reoccur because anger arises with power and purpose, not simply as a symptom needing to be eradicated.

We may at times focus more on our negative energies than our positive ones but remember we can also learn from both 🤔 think of a time spent in a negative energy state then think what you learnt from it then repeat this for the positive energy state.

What's important is acknowledging that both energies are good as long as we can learn from them and not become stuck or focused solely in the cycle of repeating the negative energy 🙂

That's where counselling can help you to explore the negatives and positives to help you become more aware and better understand how to learn from such experiences.

MEN'S HEALTH WEEK 2021

This is Men's Health Week and health includes mental health. Men have mental health too and it's really important that those identifying as male have just as much opportunity as anyone else to access support, talking therapies and a listening ear (and be understood and validated too).

This is a very powerful picture. We never really know what's going on for someone, even when they appear happy, content, calm or 'sorted'. I would suggest being gentle with yourself too - you are doing the best you can with what you have and where you are at this time.

Take care,
Barry

Hi my name is Barry and much like yourself I found myself looking for a counsellor several years ago. I understand how hard this first step can be. But feel comfortable in the knowledge that:

- It is okay, if you need to take your time.
- Its okay, if you need to look around to find the right person that
fits best with you.
- Its also okay, if you would like a free 15 minute call back to see if I
could be the right counsellor for YOU.

Just go to my fees & contact form, leave your details and I will call you back as soon as possible.

Hi, I just wanted to ask a question, what have been people's experiences of the Family Courts Systems in the UK ?

As someone who had their own experience of this, I am looking to explore other people's thoughts, feelings, experiences, length of time and costs endured and to see how counselling may offer a different experience.

Please feel free to respond to the post and please like share and follow me for future discussions.

Regards Barry.
