Manchester Counselling

Hello and Welcome.

I’m Dawn Pugh and I’m a registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist practicing in Manchester and surrounding areas

If you are reading this, then it is likely that you are in some kind of emotional distress, and you want to make changes in your life.

I have helped over 5000 people to make changes in their lives, and so live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives – so why not you?

As an ancient Chinese sage once said;
“The longest journey starts but with one step”.

Manchester Counselling Contact

By reading this you are making that first initial step. I encourage you to continue your life’s journey along this new path to a happier, more fulfilling life.

As you continue to read my page you will begin to notice how much more attainable a happier life could be.

But only reading websites – mine or anyone else’s – will not in itself change anything! You can sit back, continue to do nothing, and hope and pray that somehow, some magical change is going to happen;

OR YOU CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN NOW!

You need 3 BASIC ESSENTIAL FUNDAMENTALS to make change happen:

1. BELIEVE that you can achieve the desired change

2. WANT to achieve the change

3. BE WIILING TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to achieve the desired change.

If you have these three basic essentials, you no longer need to ask the question:

“Will I achieve my desired change?”

The question now becomes:

“How long will it take to achieve the desired change?”

With these three basic fundamentals in place I can guarantee results I just cannot say when these results will happen for you.

Manchester Counselling Contact

The answer, of course, depends on how committed you are to achieving change, and how experienced and expert the therapist is (and therefore how effective) is the help you could obtain.

Google lists me as being an Expert Therapist and as a Therapy Expert.

To check this out just click on any of those links above and you will usually find me at the top of the first page.

So you can see that the more experienced and expertise the therapist can offer is then reflected in the help that you obtain, then the more you gain the opportunity to achieve your desired outcomes.

No matter what tasks we undertake, generally it is much effective and somewhat easier if we can get expert help. I am an expert, but I can’t help you unless you contact me.

Because you are still reading this that tells me you are interested in getting some help and making some small but significant changes to your life.

Manchester Counselling Contact

Let me ask you; “Why do you continue to be unhappy and unfulfilled?”

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “We must become the change we want to be”.

We may not be able to change our past experiences, but we do not have to let these experiences impact negatively on our current life.

Have a browse through the following pages, but reading alone will not in itself change your life.

You need to TAKE ACTION, so I sincerely urge you, please CONTACT ME!

I offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION consultation, to enable a tailored made therapy that will suit your current needs.

I will not work with anyone whom I feel is not ready for change and does not show commitment to them selves.

Quite often I do not like to label issues and prefer to regard them as difficulties.

I’m extremely experienced at treating numerous and variable conditions such as Depression, Phobias, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Stress, Anger, Relationship Difficulties, Lack of Self Confidence, Addiction and Bereavement – to mention just a few and might I add, the majority to a successful outcome.

I also offer Supervision to other counsellors and psychotherapists, from students up to qualified and experienced practitioners.

I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy  throughout the Greater Manchester area.

I’m within easy reach of most of Manchester and Greater Manchester by a number of ways including public transport and cover all surrounding areas, particularly Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Salford and Swinton.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always had”

OK! You’re right and I’m wrong…

by Dawn Pugh

Argue

Arguments just turn things into bigger problems and you end up saying what you don’t really mean. You also end up miss-communicating your feelings because you decided to use your words as weapons. Ultimately taking their power away…Again!
Or not, as the case may be.

Winning an argument is always tempting.
Who doesn’t want to be right?
Have the last word?
Be the meanest, sharpest and smartest with their words?
In other words to be victorious!
So when you argue with someone and you think you can win or that you have won… think about it more carefully.

Even if you make better points and counter-act each of theirs — does that mean you’ve won? Or does it mean that you’ve convinced them that you won? [click to continue…]

Apparently teachers in UK are getting extra FREE guidance to help support children who are suddenly bereaved.

A recent study highlighted that this area needed some specific interventions and guidance for people involved with these children.

Following a study carried out by ‘Brake’ a road safety charity and one of the  UK’s leading funeral companies ‘The Co-operative Funeral Care’ – The study illuminated that only 1 in 5 schools have a written policy on helping bereaved children in their classrooms.

As a result of this the 2 organisations have created a guide book;  ‘Helping suddenly bereaved children’

This guide book is aimed at raising children’s understanding of sudden death, helping them to express their grief and how teachers, parents and carers can offer more support.

“Should we have some – Time Out?”

Difference between sun time and clock time dur...

British Summer Time begins in March 01:00 GMT and ends at the end of October 01 00.

The change in March means lighter mornings and lighter evenings.

“Generally people start to feel better as we experience more sunshine hours, some often express a reduction in depression symptoms”

How to Better Manage your Seasonal Affective Disorder.

The change in October means darker mornings and even darker evenings.

“In comparison people start to feel more depressed at the thought of long dark and cold nights”.

How to Better Manage your Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Daylight saving was suggested in 1784 by American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin, to allow people to enjoy more light in the evenings.

“Now that really is some time ago…”

Proposals have been made from time to time about changing the UK’s time zone to Central European Time. However, any changes would need to have full regard to the effect on business and transport links with other countries, on health and safety issues such as road traffic accidents, and on social and community life.

However, the proposals were heavily defeated by MPs, with particular lobbying from agricultural groups and Scottish farmers, who warned of a reduction in working hours and claimed the switch, would have a detrimental effect on their livestock, who would be unable to adjust to the change. Indeed, there is a marked polarisation of views on the matter between Scotland and England and some have suggested that Scotland should operate on a separate time zone to the UK in order to facilitate a change.

“Different time zones…?”

Protests over whether or not clocks in Britain should keep time with the rest of Europe continue into the present day.

“Not so for the rest of the world…”

Egypt’s cabinet has decided that Daylight Saving Time (DST) will not be used in Egypt during Ramadan, but will be resumed after the holy month ends.

In a statement released recently, the cabinet clarified that clocks will move back by one hour at midnight on Tuesday 10 August, to be moved forward again after Ramadan, on Thursday 9 September. Clocks will roll back once more on Thursday 30 September to put the nation on winter time, as stipulated by law.

Mosslem Shaltout, professor of solar-space physics and vice-chairman of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences (AUASS), said Ramadan will start, astronomically speaking, on Wednesday 11 August.

According to Shaltout, the moon’s crescent will appear at 6:08 AM on 10 August, when the moon is on the same level with the sun and earth, marking the beginning of Ramadan.

The Palestinian government in Ramallah on Monday, 9 August 2010 , to delay the clock 60 minutes back and with the beginning of the first of the month of Ramadan 1431 H / 2010.

The government decided to modify the working hours in all ministries and government institutions during the month of Ramadan to be from 9:00 am until 14:30 pm.

In this Daylight saving time ends and return of normal life as usual, according to winter time with a reduction of working hours the government to become five and a half hours instead of 7 hours (8 am – 3 pm).

In the same context , the Palestinian government in Gaza on Tuesday, 10 August 2010 the introduction of the winter time by delaying the clock 60 minutes the first day of Ramadan 1431 H M. 2010.

Russia will make a final decision on changing time zones this fall, after the effects of changes introduced in March are examined; there are currently three time zones in the Russian Far East.

After monitoring is carried out by government and cooperation with the ‘Academy of Sciences’ in summer and fall, they will then make their final decision.

Regional governors welcomed the decision to move some of the regions to a different time zone, but suggested research is carried out to study how the change would affect human health.

“Let me know what your thoughts are on this long-standing debate…”

Is Music the food for your Love?

by Dawn Pugh

Hearing music on the radio or just generally when your out and about
can be pleasurable or it can be rather irritating – especially if the music in question is not of your genre or liking.

Music can be the food of love, the words of our emotions – influencing our feelings – happiness, sadness, energy or relaxed and calm. [click to continue…]

‘Dog-ing’ helps to stop heart attacks?

by Dawn Pugh

Seekins dogs
Image via Wikipedia

There are 400 different breeds of dogs around the world.

When there is a mutual interaction between dogs and humans a chemical called ‘Oxytocin is released – both the dog and the human benefit from this mutual exchange of  ‘feel good factors’.

This exchange apparently can help lower blood pressure and reduce stress, which both fundamentally help to extend our lives, that’s also not forgetting the exercise we receive when out for daily walks.

Those of you who may suffer with ‘Cardiac myopothy’ would benefit most from stroking dogs – this chemical ‘Oxytocin’ can make you 3x more likely not to experience a heart attack – 3x more likely to recover if you do.

So…interesting isn’t it?
