Why Did the Therapist Cross the Road?
Some time ago there was a post doing the rounds on Facebook that read “I look forward to a time when a chicken can cross the road without having its motives questioned.” Some months ago, a long term client left unexpectedly.

Truth or Myth? Common Beliefs About Money and Wealth – Part 1
For some years now I have been interested in exploring commonly held beliefs about money and wealth. My interest is in how the beliefs that we learn growing up may shape our actions and behaviour as adults. We are all familiar with the one about not being good enough, either in ourselves, our families and…
