Demons Run Faster Than Rainbows: The Things That Ruin Us Move Fast - Hope Without Action Isn’t Enough! Staying ahead of the demons doesn’t mean outrunning them forever. It means recognising when they’re stretching their legs. Most damage happens early; in the small moments. Discover how counselling can help in my latest blog:

Too many men grow up believing they have to “tough it out,” stay silent, and keep it together no matter what. But real courage isn’t pretending you’re okay, it’s being brave enough to say, “I’m not.”

Old Keys Don’t Unlock New Doors - The Reason To Start Over New : if you want things to be different then it’s important to remember Change means adopting different behaviours and approaches too. We can’t bring about change using the same thinking that got us in to it in the first place. Counselling can help look at what stops us starting and maintaining new behaviours and thinking that can lead to leading a better life.

Spending Christmas on your own this year? A useful resource to know about just in case you want some connection

Holidays can bring big urges and lonely moments — I’m here to help with three practical, gentle strategies you can use right now: 1) Urge surfing: notice the urge, breathe through it, and remind yourself it will pass. 2) Brief grounding: use 5–7–5 breaths, name five things you see, and anchor back to the present. 3) Connection-planning: schedule a short check-in with a trusted friend or a safe activity before gatherings. I specialise in compulsive sexual behaviour and support individuals, men and couples navigating these challenges. I offer local sessions in West Malling, Carshalton and Woking, plus online appointments. Visit https://wix.to/v3Rk4Mu to book or message me to talk through what might help. 😊

The holidays can feel heavy, and that’s okay. I’m a psychotherapist who understands how Christmas can increase anxiety, loneliness and urges tied to compulsive behaviours. You don’t have to manage this alone. As a qualified therapist, with additional training and experience helping clients with addiction or compulsive behaviour difficulties, I offer support face to face (West Malling, Kent & Carshalton, Surrey) and online, with a warm, non‑judgmental approach tailored to your needs. If you’re struggling or just want to talk things through, please reach out. I offer a free initial consultation so you can find out how I can help. https://wix.to/9KzoLBi
