EXPLORE A ROADMAP TO POSITIVE CHANGE:
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ? .This is an informal , safe , confidential service where I believe the main thing is to build a trusting relationship built on empathy and work together towards a positive outcome, building resilience and putting supports in place for a brighter future. I have over ten years experience in social care between work and volunteering. This includes youth mentoring, youth advocate, rehabilitation assistant to people with acquired brain injuries, teen helpline operator, prison outreach programme, supporting victims of crime in the central criminal court, restorative justice panel member, working in the homeless sector and supporting people with addiction and challenging behaviour. Some words are easily thrown around but respect, non judgemental and unconditional positive regard are areas that are the basis of this service and what I feel have worked well over the years.( Along with a good sense of humour !!). INDIVIDUAL : Meetings can be in a relaxed setting with no pressure to talk, such as a persons own home, a park , a café/restaurant etc. Over the years I have found people are more likely to open up and talk when not under pressure to sit in front of a professional and talk. GROUP: Join a weekly group of like minded people for a tea and chat and see where things lead to, you might be surprised at the help it makes. INFORMAL EXERCISE THERAPY: Although not for everyone exercise plays a major role in our mental health, with the chemicals released playing a massive role from even some basis exercise.

Worth a read

I woke up this morning thinking about how much of my earlier life was spent getting to where I am now.

My early years were spent trying to fit in.

My teens were spent feeling angry and irritated.

My 20’s were spent trying to chase oblivion.

And it was only when I was close to reaching my 30’s that I realised that I was dancing on the periphery of a life of regret.

I was so sick and exhausted of living a life I didn’t want to live, that the pain of staying where I was began to grow beyond the pain of having to shed my skin and step into the person I knew I could be.

I promised to spend the following years making myself, and others as happy as I possibly could.

If I could travel back in time, to when I was most vulnerable…

And give my 20 year old self who was lost, unhappy and unhealthy some pieces of advice that would in time bring focus, confidence, happiness, and a life I’m proud of…

I’m pretty sure that this is what I’d tell them (and if you’re feeling stuck, I hope that this will help you too):

1️⃣ Don’t let THEIR fear kill YOUR dream.

2️⃣ Your worries live in your head, not in reality.

3️⃣ Fake is hard. Real is easy.

4️⃣ Giving it 100% is easier than giving it 50%.

5️⃣ Avoiding stress fails. Handling stress wins.

6️⃣ Being disciplined will actually save you energy.

7️⃣ Protecting your peace is more important than proving your point.

8️⃣ Appreciating the world is just as important as trying to change the world.

9️⃣ Get out of your own way. The magic you are looking for is in the work you’re avoiding.

🔟 The world will be a much better place with your story being heard. Allow your unapologetic expression of individuality be a cause of inspiration for those still searching for their own voice.
