The Peel

In our fast-paced world, finding effective ways to manage stress and improve overall health is crucial. Breathing exercises are a simple yet powerful tool that can help you achieve both. By incorporating these techniques into your daily routine, you can experience significant benefits for your mental and physical well-being. I get many of my client who are feeling anxious to do these exercise and likewise I get my athletes to do the same thing to improve their fitness.

At Orange Counselling and Coaching, we believe that the cornerstone of inner peace is acceptance—both from ourselves and others. Our latest blog on acceptance is instrumental in cultivating a serene and contented life. Join us in exploring the path to self-acceptance

In our busy lives, it’s easy for our minds to become entangled in a web of repetitive, immersive thoughts. These thoughts, especially the ones containing worries and 'what-ifs,' can spiral, leading to anxiety and stress. It's in these moments that the power of acceptance meditation truly shines.

In our minds, we generate approximately 70,000 thoughts each day.

These thoughts interpret the world around us. Most of these thoughts we are not even aware of. They are happening without us even realising. Most importantly, our thoughts are not always true they are interpretations. These interpretations are based of a complexity of past events, biological and psychological factors and the environment that we find ourselves in.

When I work with people with anxiety, I use logic as a way to combat it. Anxiety is a familiar companion to many of us, often perceived as an unwelcome intruder that disrupts our daily lives.

“Find Your Happy" is a program very close to my heart, inspired by a poignant moment in my own life. It was during a conversation when I was asked what I do for fun and realised I couldn't find an answer. This was a really important moment in my life. This led me to change and rework my thought process. It took some work, but I found some secrets to changing this. I learnt that there are we need to have personal time, removing guilt associated with joy, rediscovering what is fun for you, setting boundaries in your life and knowing that if you are in a better space you can care for others better.

My aim in this post is to shed light on how a counsellor can be your ally in navigating complex times.

I’ve been coaching for many years and when I took this step to being a qualified counsellor I looked at many different therapies. I love so many of them but I do gravitate towards Solution Focused Therapy. It’s more about taking action and control back.

Today we look at something I ask my clients to do when I want them to connect to the present; Mindful Eating.

So, why did I choose to name of the blog to be "The Peel"? The metaphor of peeling an orange perfectly encapsulates our philosophy.
