Hi All
Been working on a new video to give you more of an idea about me - I've popped it on my website and on You Tube. My husband's son worked really hard doing this for me and I'm really pleased with it.

Action for Happiness
I've been meaning to mention this organisation for a while now - and their latest email to me reminded me to pop something on this Blog - their website is www.actionforhappiness.org - it's great and really looks at the meaning of happiness and how we can bring it into our lives and the lives of others - have a look!

Oh dear
Just noticed how long it's been since I last posted on here!
My excuse is that I've been extremely busy and I have been attending training on EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming!
Sounds complicated doesn't it? But trust me, it's not - it's very different to counselling but there's lots of research that proves it works and is an alternative way for clients to address their issues. There's more about it on my website.
I've also managed to secure some group supervision - I was warned that it can be difficult to find a supervisor but I think the timing of my seeking one coincided well with who was setting it up so that's all great.
So just a quick bulletin and more from me soon .. and hopefully sooner than 4 months time again!

Affairs within Relationships
Well, this was the title of a one day workshop I attended last Saturday in London booked through Psychotherapy UK.
It was a great day and really informative. The schedule included time to watch a couple of film clips and then discuss them afterwards- a film called "The End of the Affair" - book by Graham Greene, and the other film called "Damage" with Jeremy Irons amongst others. Both clips were very powerful and helped to understand the underlying motives.
Affairs are very common and are a particularly difficult experience for couples to survive, although some couples do. Online affairs have become more common too and this was also something we also covered during the day.

EMDR
Hi All,
I completed my training to provide EMDR so have added details to my website at www.integrativecounselling.co.uk so have a look and let me know if anything is unclear.
I am currently taking referrals for people who have experienced trauma arising from a single event rather than multiple experiences.
EMDR is a great treatment with loads of research to back up its effectiveness - it's a pretty simple process too.

New Book and Course
Hi All
I haven't posted a blog for quite a while so nice to be back!
Just to say that I am halfway through a book by Scott Peck called "The Road Less Travelled" and recommend it both for clients and counsellors.
I am due to start my course on EMDR (eye movement desensitisation reprogramming) next week so that should be interesting and something alternative I can be offering to clients.

Depression
There is an informative article on Yahoo this week - link is: http://uk.health.lifestyle.yahoo.net/Be-aware-of-the-signs-of-depression.htm.
The NHS do provide cognitive-behavioural therapy short-term or, if you would like private therapy giving less of a time constraint, you can contact me as I have also use this regularly in my work with clients.
