There is a quote by a lady called Anaïs Nin – “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" – a quote in which I firmly believe and embodies how vulnerable people feel when considering contacting a Counsellor for the first time. It is always helpful to talk to someone, especially when that someone is trained to listen and help in a specialised and interactive way. A counsellor is not there to judge you, nor are they there to tell you what to do. Instead counselling provides a safe and respectful environment to express and explore your feelings and troubles.

We’re told weight loss is simply about eating less and moving more.
Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food and constantly trying to lose weight? You’re “good” for a few weeks, only to self-sabotage and beat yourself up after another binge. Perhaps food has always been the go to – whether you’re happy, stressed, or frustrated. Or perhaps exercise is the problem. You need to do it, but it makes you miserable. You may struggle with body image, or even hate yourself for letting your body get to this state. If these resonate, you’re not alone. It’s easy to get stuck in these negative cycles, without knowing how to get out. The good news is, it’s possible to change.

Are you thinking of building a new habit? Or perhaps you want to feel better but are not sure where to start? Like myself, you might have listed several New Year's resolutions, such as "Less screen time", and "Sleep more", However, work, studies, family responsibilities and other commitments could make lifestyle changes more challenging. There may even be a self-critical voice that makes us feel guilty and anxious when we do not accomplish our goals. If you share similar experiences, "you are not alone". Long-term behaviour change can be difficult and need consistency and self-compassion, rather than willpower.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together. (Please do take a look at my website heretolisten.uk for further information about my practice and how I work, as well as some examples of client reviews.)

Hello! My name is Carmen and I am working as a private practitioner. I worked before in schools, drug and alcohol rehab and occupational health (EAP and assessments). I'll work with you in a way that will enable you to discover yourself, maybe the difficulty which probably causes you distress, increase your motivation and hopefully change your life in better. We can talk about what it is happening now but also we can address aspects from your past which are just on 'pause' at the minute but they 'creep' out whenever they want. Usually my sessions are based on your needs, purpose and action.
