We all have the tendency to think in unhelpful ways.  Sometimes these unhelpful thought patterns can become habitual, catching us in a web of distress.  Have a look at the Unhelpful Thinking Toolkit to see how you might address these http://www.exploretransform.com/unhelpful-thinking-patterns.html

We all get angry.  Anger is an emotion as acceptable as any other, and yet for some their anger has become a problem.  So at what point is the expression of an emotion a problem that needs to be managed?  http://www.exploretransform.com/anger-management.html

I have found that the most effective tool for working on any issue is the relationship that is created between counsellor and client.  There is no substitute for this, and sometimes that can be enough.  

However, I am aware that not everyone is ready for counselling.  In addition, not everyone has the time or resources to engage in regular sessions.  

I have put together a range of toolkits to help people start to look at the following issues -

• An ABC of CBT toolkit
• An addiction toolkit
• An anger management toolkit
• An anxiety management toolkit
• A daily mood log
• A depression toolkit
• A family issues toolkit
• A mindfulness toolkit
• A relationships toolkit
• An unhelpful thinking toolkit
• A work issues toolkit

​​But each toolkit is just a starting point.  The next step is to engage in a counselling relationship and examine the issue in detail.  

​If you would like to have an initial chat with me, please do get in touch.
