How often do we ask someone, whether it's a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour (or anyone else), 'how are you?' and they answer, 'I'm fine'? All the time, yes? How often do people ask you, 'how are you?' and you answer, 'I'm fine'? All the time, I'm betting. It's that stock phrase we pull out and give everytime someone asks how we are doing. We often don't even think about saying it, its so automatic. Yet, often we are not fine. And often the person we are asking after isn't fine either. In fact, I am betting many people answer 'I'm fine' and, underneath, they are really struggling, hurting, in pain, worrying about something in their life and being faced with terrible news or a distressing situation. But, we will never know this until we starting letting others in and starting reaching out a bit more. Why are we so afraid of how we feel? Why are we so anxious about sharing our thoughts or what we are going through? Why are we so nervous about asking how someone really is? I ca

Hello! How are you? We're guessing that we might already know the answer to that though and you have found yourself here because, actually you’re not feeling all that good at the moment. Is that right? We all don’t feel so good sometimes and that's ok; however, sometimes, we can feel anxious, down, hurt, in pain, numb and a whole load of other things for quite a long time and that’s not ok. Why? Because the longer things go on, the worse we feel and it affects our behaviour, relationships, how we feel about ourselves, our views, work and lots of other things in life. We often see how things start out small: they bother us in a small way to start with, but the problem ends up snowballing, growing arms and legs everywhere and we end up feeling life is going around in circles, getting nowhere and not knowing how to change it. Many people we work with in therapy and counselling describe how this causes them to end up feeling stuck and unable to move: a bit like being trapped in a spider’s

Did you know that many of the people we work with in psychotherapy, counselling and in dietitian/nutritional therapy tell us: I AM SOOOOO STRESSED!! I FEEL I AM AT BREAKING POINT! I AM SO OVERWHELMED BY WORK AND LIFE!! Stress, overwhelm and burnout affect us in so many different ways: they affect how our brain works; they affect us physically; they affect our feelings and emotions and how we deal with them; they affect us at work and socially; and stress, overwhelm and burnout also affect our relationships and quality of life. That's a lot of things that stress, overwhelm and burnout can affect, isn't it? Yet, many of us go along, just putting up with it until we arrive at some sort of breaking point and start feeling panic, anxious, out-of-control, exhausted and maybe even lost. It doesn't have to be like that though. There are lots of things you can do, with support, to help both prevent, and manage, stress, overwhelm and burnout. Some involve simple strategies that help keep us on
