Autumn is all About Change

Before I trained as a therapist I thought, as many logically do, that I would be busy in the 'gloomy' months of Autumn and Winter, and quieter when the sun was out, or at least promising to come out. In reality the opposite has proved to be true, and I've come to believe that it is the return of the sun that allows people to start feeling optimistic, to get fired up to do something about it , whatever it may be.

When I look at the beautiful Autumnal scene above, I find myself wondering again... surely change is never more beautifully represented than by the change from Summer to Autumn, the beautiful woodland colours, the ripening of our seasonal fruits, mellow mists, sharp fresh mornings a fire in the hearth of your local in the evening.....

This week I will be seeing 4 new clients, all for situations that have their origins in an excess of anxiety, and there is little that gives me more pleasure than seeing the changes that my anxiety and depression clients are able to make in their lives, as they feel reassured, more confident, able to manage again, so it would be a shame to think of people knuckling down for the hard slog of Winter, when between us we could make the changes you need right now.

Don't get dug in, give me a ring and come along for a first assessment.... it's a friendly chat, it's half price, and very few people leave feeling anything other than a reassuring sense of promise. Friends/Partners/Mothers and Fathers (2 of this weeks new clients are youngsters) are always welcome to accompany you, if you want, and there's no pressure to carry on.... indeed there would be no point unless you were up for it.

If you need to make a change, don't wait until Spring!
