Marie Brockley,  Still Waters Counselling If there had been tea or something else in your cup, the result would be the same.

One to one Counselling for all of the following challenges in life:-
Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Childhood and Adult trauma, Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Life transition and Stress. How to explain what counselling is.......

If you're holding a cup of coffee and somebody accidentally bumps into you, you will most likely spill a drop or two, or depending on the bump impact a few spoonfuls or more. Yo

ur emotions and feelings are like the coffee, because sometimes when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen to us all) whatever is inside your cup will spill out. Sometimes life can be easier until you get bumped.....but then you may need somebody to talk to. This is where counselling can help and I would be honoured to be the person to listen. Throughout my twenty five year career working in Children's Services with many families from all walks of life, there are not many things I haven't heard. Along with my own life experiences, bumps and "coffee spilling", I am hear to listen to you if you would like to contact me. Marie on 07861 676751

Here I will tell you something about myself to help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you:

I am married, having been with my husband for over 25 years now and we live in a remote part of the Staffordshire Moorlands near the county borders of Cheshire and Derbyshire. I love living in the countryside, I'm always in awe of nature and find the peace and tranquility very relaxing. I originate from the Moorlands growing up on my parent’s smallholding with my younger brother and sister, where playing outside was a fun-filled and usually muddy experience! I have a love of many animals and if I ever get the opportunity would love to own some Grey Face Dartmouth sheep and some Highland cows as well as some Belted Galloways. I have lived in several other places over the years including Sheffield, it was a culture shock moving from a small rural community but was a really vibrant and exciting place to be, with me meeting and working with many wonderful people. My career has been predominantly within Social Services working with families to help keep children safe, a big part of this has been listening to and supporting people, so it was a natural step for me to train as a psychodynamic counsellor which I enjoy and for me is a privilege to do. In my spare time I like doing many different things all of which bring me happiness including cooking, reading, travelling, swimming and exploring the beautiful world we live in. I've also been known to write the odd poem, I sing in a choir and play dominoes for a local pub team, as the well known saying goes…………“Variety is the spice of life”.

Today I was reminded quite inadvertently by a young boy about the power of perspective and it really made me smile🥰
Having been so excited to receive a big ice cream, he was so happy, but then disaster struck and half of the big scoop fell on to the floor......he looked at it, then looked back at his cone and decided in that split second he still had ice cream left so carried on enjoying what he had.....🍦🧁
We can always learn from each other, what ever the age difference and we can all choose how we use our perspective ###
