The change you want, from insight not willpower

Many of us have discovered that life is harder than we imagined.

Perhaps you have realised that you have become stuck or lost a sense of purpose and progress.

My experience is that the big challenge of most people’s life has surfaced by their mid to late 20s. Issues that have not budged and do not seem to be going away. Or that reappear each time you think you have squashed them down.

Perhaps it is a lack of courage to take the action you want, or you need help with skills and strategy to process the big things that have happened in your life.

Making lasting change has to be the greatest challenge in life! (especially as adults).  

But there is good news!

Wherever the chasm seems too hard to get across - there are insights that encourage and a practical strategy to gain momentum. 

One size does not fit all and no one person is the same as another, but we can get below the surface to the thinking that is at the core of our issues.

Trace

By following behaviours down to emotions and self-talk, and from self-talk to beliefs and core conclusions, we can Trace the source of an issue.

Face

With time, care and reassurance we can Face up to our issues and re-examine our conclusions.

Replace

With patience and practical, personal, tailormade insights (not just will power) we can Replace previously held conclusions with new reassuring truth.

Feedback from people Aaron has helped

  • After finding myself stuck and despondent I booked in for counselling with Aaron. I really appreciated Aaron's gentle and caring approach teamed with empowering questions which really helped me get to the root cause of unhealthy thinking. One thing that really helped me move forward and get unstuck was his skills in creating practical strategies for me to use in life. I have found Aaron's counselling style to be supportive, empowering, and progressive.

  • Aaron was very accepting, considerate and gentle in his approach. He always made me feel welcome, nothing I said bothered him and he treated me with the utmost respect. His counsel was just what I needed and I'm grateful to have met him. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.

  • Before coming to Aaron my emotions were pretty chaotic and I didn’t have a very positive view of the future or my current circumstances, I would wallow in my negativity and didn’t think I could pull myself out of it. Aaron helped me to see that my feelings aren’t set in stone and that I can take active steps to put them in their place and change my mood if I want to. I am really grateful to Aaron for not only helping me identify my problems but also for giving me the mental tools to help myself.
