Counselling West Bridgford

Having the right space makes such a difference. Don't get me wrong, I loved my office at Pavilion House and the decor on first glance matches what I created there.... But this has more light, is quieter, more private, and cosier.

2025 was the year I moved and and it has transformed my life. Investing in space was the right call. I worried being the other end of town might be a barrier but thankfully those fears were unfounded.

2026 sees me returning to study with the Couples Institute, and rumour has it I'm writing a book although we'll see!

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to Annalisa'fabulous column.

A phrase I often use is "it's rarely about the money". Digging a little deeper and you might find other feelings you hadn't anticipated....

You’re reluctant to discuss this with your parents – but doing so might help you shake off the feeling of injustice

As I'm getting used to my new space I've been able to work out how best to arrange the furniture. I had a spare hour so moved everything around. It feels much better - the art work has space and the sofa faces the forest so clients get the maximum benefit.

And check out the new desk! 😍

Yet another year has passed...! Happy Birthday Counselling West Bridgford!!

5 years on and it's great to feel confident in my practice. I'm moving office at the end of the month and am so focussed on the renovations of that space I almost missed this year's anniversary!

My couples work has taken off this year whilst my work with individuals (3500 appointments and counting...) continues to provide the backbone to my practice.

Happy 5th Birthday Counselling West Bridgford! Counselling West Bridgford is five today! That’s another year that’s whizzed by. I’m pleased […]

🥰 Experiencing chronic conditions or curious about the topic?

I've just finished 's "I haven't been entirely honest with you".

This memoir takes her personal experience of chronic fatigue and layers over it what she describes as "Treasures" - discoveries she made that facilitated her recovery.

I forced myself to read it slowly. Whilst it is all described through the lens of chronic illness, those treasures are all elements that provide a recipe for living an authentic life, and I could easily have devoured it in just a few sittings.

Miranda has written in her usual style, very much speaking to the reader directly. It contains her usual brand of humour which I happen to love. It won't surprise fans it contains dance breaks with a soundtrack for each chapter.

I particularly like how she regularly acknowledges that the advice she describes whilst easy to say can often be difficult to implement. Often self-help books run the risk of leaving the reader feeling a little helpless when written with the implication that it should all be very easy to fix. Miranda does a great job of avoiding that.

I've started using the treasures as a framework for discussion with clients who are experience in chronic fatigue, pain or illness. Exploring what each treasure means for them maintains their agency, whilst providing a place to start with their process of acceptance / recovery.

A great resource! ❤️🙏

I also resonated with her acknowledgements... I'd really like to be her best friend!
