Are you hard on yourself ?

We all get stuck sometimes. When life brings a bigger challenge than usual, we can find ourselves reluctant to act. This is particularly so for those who are problem-solvers. We expect to be able to fix things quickly, deal with issues. We’ve done it many times before – informed ourselves, analysed, identified the best course of action and moved ahead.

So why not now? If it’s a job situation or a rocky relationship, it’s easy to stall. We don’t want to do the wrong thing. At these times, we can be highly self-critical and become frustrated with ourselves.

“If you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, going over things repeatedly with no resolution, counselling can be invaluable.

Counselling used to be for those with severe problems: now, it’s a broad field that offers intentional conversations that will open up your situation and help you take the next step.

I am a qualified, compassionate counsellor offering support for relationship problems, anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, feeling stuck and not coping.
