 We can learn a lot from cats, especially at Christmas
. Belle takes a rest when she needs it and tells me loud and clear when she needs something from me . We don’t speak the same language but she makes sure I understand . Some might say cats are selfish, I say they’re great at stating their needs and putting themselves first . The festive period gets really stressful for lots of women and men . Instead of hoping your husband, daughter, brother, partner, etc, will guess what you need doing and miraculously offer to do it . Instead of taking on responsibility for absolutely everything and silently wishing someone would offer to take some things from the list, when they never have . Instead of feeling unseen, resentful and taken advantage of because you’ve done everything, yet again . Instead of doing what you’ve always done and getting the same result (no support) . Instead of hoping they’ll read your mind and know how exhausted you are but not saying anything because you ALWAYS do it all . Instead, do something different . Share with those you love, how you’re feeling, how you’d like their support, and what you’d like them to do . Maybe they won’t do it ‘as good as you’ but who cares if it means you get to enjoy all that Christmas brings without being the only burnt out offering left in the kitchen on Boxing Day . Give them the gift of showing their love and support to you . Give them the gift of trusting them enough to do it . Give them the gift of showing it’s always ok to ask for help . Give them the gift of knowing it’s ok to ask for your needs to be met . And while they do all that stuff, take a leaf out of Belle’s book, and have a cat nap, it’ll do you the world of good . .

“I just love being around Gill, her energy is amazing, she positively sparkles. She’s a positive delight to be around and her big smile always makes me want to giggle even when I've been feeling very sad. I always feel supported, understood and cared for by Gill. She has so much empathy and intuition and quickly helped me get to the bottom of things. I really feel I could trust her with my innermost secrets; working with her has helped me understand myself and healed many of my deepest wounds. I highly recommend Gill as a professional and caring coach, she is highly trained and knowledgeable and uses a variety of different techniques in the sessions.” Michelle, UK "Amazing results, really, honestly, I have been so fortunate to work with you. So grateful to you Gill for your wonderful calm, gentle manner and your talent in getting me to talk, not difficult about most subjects except when it comes to talking about myself." Lisa, UK “I had almost always been successful at interviews in the past but, after being made redundant from a middle management job I loved, in a quite brutal process, this was no longer the case. I had several interviews but kept coming a "close second" and each setback left me feeling more and more anxious and disheartened. Usually, I think my colleagues would describe me as upbeat and positive. When two lots of interview feedback was around my low enthusiasm levels I realised that I was not presenting the real me at interviews. Having had an amazing session with Gill a couple of years before I approached her for a coaching session. Firstly, Gill tapped into my inner demons and left me feeling calmer than I had for weeks. She then worked on my positivity, using a visualisation technique I could practice just before an interview. The following week I had two interviews and, after Gill’s help, I felt really confident going into them. I was delighted to be offered both jobs, including one that I really wanted. Seeing Gill made such a difference and was well worth the investment as it helped me to secure an interesting, well-paid job again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” Pamela, UK
