23.01.2022 Been a while since I've been coaching on a weekend. Can get some training done for the Tokyo Memory Comp as well.

22.01.2022 A mega list of coping strategies Turn to someone you trust. It can be a relief to share your thoughts with someone else, and it can be good to work through problems with the help of another person. Write it all down. Keeping a notebook handy for you to scribble your thoughts in whenever you feel like it can be a great way of expressing yourself. You may find it helpful to write about what is worrying you, or express yourself in a more creative way.... Set aside regular time for yourself. Even if it’s just ten minutes of ‘you’ time, taking some space for yourself where you turn off your phone, spend time alone, exercise, meditate, or listen to music can really prepare you for tackling stress or challenges. Walk away. Work out which situations you are likely to get most stressed out by. If you feel like you’re getting too angry, end the conversation, take some space, and don’t resume talking until you are calm and ready. Overcome negative patterns of thinking through self-talk. Self-talk can help you see things from a more positive perspective and give a huge boost to your confidence. Reduce your load. Sometimes you just have to accept that you can’t do everything. Keep track of your schedule and how you feel each day, and working out your optimal level of activity. You should be busy, entertained, and challenged, without feeling overwhelmed. Consider the big picture. When you’re going through a stressful situation, ask yourself these two questions. ‘How important is this?’ and ‘will it matter in the long run?’ If you realise it doesn’t, it’s probably not worth getting too stressed out by. Learn to forgive. Move on from hurt, regret and anger. Whether you are angry at yourself or someone else, it doesn’t help you to hold on to negative feelings like resentment. Hone your communication skills. If you know how to communicate a problem well, it will help prevent conflict from escalating, and could help solve the cause of the stress in the first place. Build your optimism. Optimism involves learning to think positively about the future - even when things go wrong. That’s not to say you pretend that everything is fine when it isn’t. Instead, it’s about looking objectively at a situation, making a conscious decision to focus on the good. It can be hard to do, but if you practice, you’re likely to get better. Learn how to set goals. Relax. Relaxation is a great way to refocus your thoughts, particularly when things are becoming a bit overwhelming. Build your gratitude. Take some of your focus away from the negative things, and take 5 minutes each day to identify 3 things which you are thankful about.

13.01.2022 Psychological Support for Parents .......... And why not, it is the most complex job in the world!! We hold the assumption, that under the majority of circumstances, parents have the best interest of their child at heart and try to do the best they can in parenting their children.... When expecting your first child, parents are highly motivated, reading ‘pregnancy books’ and ‘what to expect during labour and in the first year’. The hard labour really starts when the infant is born. Most parents are winging it, relying on the blueprint of parenting that our own parents have left on us. Play with them (0-7); Guide them (7-14); Be their friend (14+) this is a lovely parenting model. Parenting is an emotional rollercoaster, filled with joyous moments and of course moments of great challenge. We have to cope with different genders and different ages and stages and parent accordingly. We are so fortunate to parent in a time when information and research on Betterparenting is widely available. Parenting is the hardest but most important job in the world. If you are a parent you deserve to get as much support as you like in creating a fulfilling relationship with your children. Making the decision to seek the expertise of a Psychologist, we know is a gutsy but proactive step for many parents. Parents who do choose to improve their parenting are essentially good parents who want to be better parents who have access to specific information that will help them to parent more effectively conserving energy and raising happy, resilient and well mannered kids.

10.01.2022 How will counselling benefit your children? Counselling for Children and Adolescents can assist young clients to talk through and better understand the problem(s) in a safe and friendly environment. We support young clients to develop and use healthy coping skills, learn strategies that promote resilience, identify and use their character strengths and find solutions that work for them. We also support parents grandparents and teachers with effective strategies that helps the... child or adolescent in the desired change. Often parents are more nervous than the kids they bring into the clinic and you might want to sit in the first counselling session with your child. This is fine with us. Teenagers usually like a bit more space and therefore to work effectively we encourage participation in the first session to get an accurate idea of what is happening for your teen, but after that it’s likely we will see the teen on their own. This helps to develop rapport and trust between the Psychologist and the teen and also for the teen to develop a sense of personal responsibility for his/her life and therapeutic outcomes.
