Boundaries lead to more authentic, sustainable relationships where both people feel safe, heard, and valued. You don’t have to choose between being kind and being firm. You can be both. “I respect you enough to be honest with you. I hope you’ll do the same for me.” https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/298efmtc4x2esnm7w2s6cj27zdp4gx monthly 0.5 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/6c126e6c-66bc-4b44-bc9a-51cbca98466d/Not+sure+I+believe+you....png Counselling Blog - Red flags in a relationship, and why we keep ignoring them So, why do we tend to ignore our gut feeling and keep finding ourselves in the same situation/relationship over and over again? Ignoring our natural instincts or red flags can result from a few factors. Our culture, upbringing and mental health can play a huge role in how we react in certain situations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/83030c4f-6542-4ca8-9513-36757f2076ed/red+flags+1.jpg Counselling Blog - Red flags in a relationship, and why we keep ignoring them Men have it easy, don't they? This is not always true. Yes, maybe the biases of this world are tipped favourably toward a man, however, they do have their own prejudices to fight against. It is much harder for a man to find help when the abuse happens to them. Let us face it, women can be abusive too. There are laws that should protect us all from harm, however, certain types of abuse can be hard to prove for women, and almost impossible for men. Again, this is caused by the belief that a man is stronger and therefore most likely to be the abuser. You can see the problem this can cause for men who find themselves in an abusive relationship. And additionally, they feel ashamed. Shame is how most victims feel who are being abused. They are ashamed and embarrassed to say anything because they are afraid that their friends, family or colleagues will not believe them. So maybe it is less likely for a man to be the victim of an abuse. Yet it is not any easier for them either because while a woman can be a physically weaker perpetrator, she can still be a very abusive one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/ad90ee02-cde2-42c1-bdff-0d2714395d5a/3.png Counselling Blog - Red flags in a relationship, and why we keep ignoring them https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/fwd8ca6538emm4ejpe23nyn3et59el monthly 0.5 2024-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/d0c00f9b-67aa-452d-bb28-f4560c7859c8/jan-cossiers-narciso_3_orig.jpg Counselling Blog - Living with a narcissist… - Narcissus - Jan Cossiers (1600-1671) - Prado Museum The term ‘narcissist’ comes from the ancient Greek myth about a beautiful young man called Narcissus, who was tricked by spirit to fall in love with his reflection in a pool of water. He never loved anyone before and rejected any romantic advances toward him deeming them not perfect enough. However, he became so obsessed with his perfect reflection that he was unable to take himself away from the pool. He pined away in despair until he finally died of starvation.

I am sure most of us met people who behaved that way at some point in our lives. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/74b9xtgm36lpznzfn7xx7wdasl625r monthly 0.5 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/f73eba31-d0d7-4702-94d2-85124e4fb8a7/Choices2.png Counselling Blog - Can we have it all? - It’s all buy before you try!!! For example… we live in an era of social media, forever showering us with glossy ads, influences who promise us - that if we change this, change that, we will find utopia. (ok a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/dfcbc223-6911-435b-88cf-5162b8d5555e/Choices.png Counselling Blog - Can we have it all? - Search for Happiness We start to wonder and ask ourselves: “Am I actually good enough?”; “Should I be more ambitious and look for a different job?” or “Should I look more like this?”, “Should I have this, why don’t I have this?”, “Why don’t I have this lifestyle, my life is boring.” In short, we start to compare ourselves to others, and now we feel inadequate and lose who we really are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/830bd919-10fb-4bc7-b41c-d44ff9c448aa/Choice4.png Counselling Blog - Can we have it all? - What can we do to get off this ride? So what can you do? The first important step is to literally STOP, take a STEP BACK, ASK yourself - have you bought into this never-ending battle of trying to change who you are just because it’s the in thing to do? Or is someone or something else telling you what you should do? Really think about what’s going on. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/ww25trklfjffe35bz7jfeh9b2jyxw3 monthly 0.5 2023-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/bbcd1db8-7807-4dac-b716-f4789226ff5e/Couples+counselling Counselling Blog - Breakdown in Communication!!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/fe87685a-c496-4b83-bf2c-4af6d4c94c3f/2.png Counselling Blog - Breakdown in Communication!!! https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/78k7rbkps278ezdkagjmdl5l7te722 monthly 0.5 2025-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/6581088a-a6fa-4577-9c0f-3f8def15c991/Abuse.png Counselling Blog - Coercive control Evidence suggests that on average, it takes seven to twelve times of trying, in order to leave an abusive relationship. For people, who have never experienced abuse, be this physical, psychological or emotional, it is hard to understand how powerless and fearful the abused will feel. Power plays a vital role in all types of abuse including Coercive control, which is often much harder to identify as it can be invisible, there may not be any bruises or physical signs, it’s a pattern of instilling fear, having full control and isolating the victim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/08c0d9c4-5d27-440d-bf7d-78dad52e2621/Coercive.png Counselling Blog - Coercive control Coercive control is skillfully designed to dominate every aspect of somebody’s life. It may be seen to be offered with love, equally for your best interest, but introduces confusion, fear and loss of liberty and self identify. If you are ever made to feel like you must do something you don’t want to do, in order that the other person is happy, it is not OK! A relationship should be a partnership with plenty of room for individuality. You should not be living in your own home being afraid or intimidated by your partner, or equally anyone else. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/gl4mkc9cmpap2dklz5lgbmb95yz2pn monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1635260475611-GY5P0VI0V0SMQUICPX92/procratination.png Counselling Blog - Procrastination!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1635260815773-RSTZKM5WWWQNZPL80RAA/Let%27s+Strive+for.png Counselling Blog - Procrastination!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/e4ral8mnk8xfk8m4az35lnb4cm32k8 monthly 0.5 2021-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1629018402847-YGQD1JIZZK1GTQ5PM24O/%E2%80%9CTHE+WORLD+IS+increasingly+designed+to+depress+us.+Happiness+isn%E2%80%99t+very+good+for+the+economy.+If+we+were+happy+with+what+we+had%2C+why+would+we+need+more+How+do+you+sell+an+anti-ageing+moisturiser+You+make+.png Counselling Blog - Perfectionism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1629018884759-GW1GEXWOMMG7G5IYPY8I/%E2%80%9CTHE+WORLD+IS+increasingly+designed+to+depress+us.+Happiness+isn%E2%80%99t+very+good+for+the+economy.+If+we+were+happy+with+what+we+had%2C+why+would+we+need+more+How+do+you+sell+an+anti-ageing+moisturiser+You+m+%281%29.png Counselling Blog - Perfectionism So next time you feel down about your life because of someone else’s fortune, just look around and try to see what you have already achieved.

Why, you ask? Good question. Maybe I wanted to have someone who asks me thousands questions about everything and asks me to wipe their bum when I am about to have my coffee and a chocolate biscuit :) But to be honest, I don’t have an answer to it. It has happened and here we are now - two amazing kids later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1616253408751-BVY3WTPBF2X70GTOWKTX/IMG_20210208_202711_1.jpg Counselling Blog - Motherhood and me! https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/counselling-blog/https/wwwcounsellinghubaberdeencom/blog-page-url/new-post-title-4 monthly 0.5 2022-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1613305311034-5H18KCXIAAJYAX72XFSV/Untitled+design+%2817%29.png Counselling Blog - Lets talk about - Negative thoughts! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1614267940135-BN9P511ALGKFGBN7BGSG/4FEA4D11-BF89-434A-A8BF-4AA34FF7DD8E.png Counselling Blog - Lets talk about - Negative thoughts!

of us, from time to time, ponders over these questions. Some of us, more often than the others. We can’t help ourselves but to think “what if?”How different would our life turn out if we had stayed with that person; if we had dropped out of the uni when we felt it was not for us; where would I live now if I took the job? And all the rest of the questions that sometimes can prevent us from living our lives fully. It’s almost like these ‘what if’s’ are hardwired into us! This book is a beautiful and warm novel that teaches us many lessons, guiding us to reflect on the many questions we ask ourselves as we navigate through the difficulties of life. Read the book and then go and appreciate your life as it is. A fantastic book you will love to read. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/book-blogs/blog-post-title-two-x3lsp monthly 0.5 2021-03-03

Being depressed cannot be described as just a feeling. It is an illness that comes in many shapes and sizes and affects us all differently. It can negatively impact on our day to day living, its affects us emotionally, physically and psychologically. Despite of what most of us think, we are not depressed just because we feel low or sad. To feel happiness or sadness is part of being a human. As thinking human beings, we are capable of an amazing array of feelings and emotions, yet most of us can only describe our emotions with a few adjectives, with happy, sad, angry, frustrated and anxious being our main descriptors of how we feel. When we feel sad, this is exactly what we tell our friends and family. Yet often we still feel misunderstood. It is only when we allow ourselves to really look deep inside ourselves, we become more self-aware. Quite often, with the help of your therapist, you will discover that what you actually feel is a lot more than just sadness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1615298093497-VQEV6LD1C8O6B130D0XS/unsplash-image-wESKMSgZJDo.jpg Counselling for Depression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1610405526521-MV56I3WMC8V9CPAIS31M/image-asset.jpeg Counselling for Depression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1610405592197-FKOKODEAG4IMI7IU4JF2/image-asset.jpeg Counselling for Depression https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/meet-the-team daily 0.75 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1612351211162-DKTU2A691WBFWZI4QC6V/SELFIE+1.jpg Meet the team - Agata Robertson PG Dip in Person-Centred Counselling.

We all experience anxiety. Anxiety is our body’s way of warning us that something stressful, dangerous or unpleasant is about to happen. When we are faced with a threat, the body sends a signal to the brain. This signal triggers our inbuilt alarm system, the ‘Fight - Flight - Freeze’ response or ‘Stress Response’. This is our body’s natural response to danger, or the perception of danger. Once alerted, a chain of events occurs, our body releases hormones into our system, including adrenaline. Physiological changes will occur, such as an increased heart rate. We may also start to sweat, our pupils will dilate and our breathing becomes harder. These are all normal physiological reactions that enable us to deal with the threat or potential threat. In general, once we have dealt with the threat, our body after a while returns to its normal state of function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1613214804746-YBKNWALWI622B15SVT3Y/Anxiety+1.png Counselling for Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1613215434484-9VLNQNKWL8KSSF5KI81B/social+anxiety.png Counselling for Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1613215922636-0JAQ7C6KAJ1FHAG6ACY1/breath+in+3%2C2%2C1+sec.png Counselling for Anxiety Breathing techniques - Square breathing. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/office-appointments daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/6dc1301c-cfff-4bff-859a-4a0482cc001e/office.jpg Face to Face therapy https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/abuse-narcissistic-abuses-coercive-control-counselling-therapy-aberdeen daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1634287184010-OVEY7FFTH5V3MP787USK/Untitled+design.png Abuse - The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefiting from you having none” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1633437117556-U14MWC2BVCRGJS9QYP30/Duluth+model.png Abuse - Abuse comes in many forms and quite often these overlap with other forms of abuse including: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/1633437280206-H2H3U0KYDEI88KOOLLVL/The+Cycle+of+Abuse.png Abuse On average it takes 7-12 attempts to leave an abusive relationship. https://www.counsellinghubaberdeen.com/couples-counselling-relationship-psychotherapy daily 0.75 2024-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2eb62dbdd0a044486273e6/33999493-fdc7-45ff-a4b8-a7acdf3751ef/1.png Couples Counselling, Relationship Psychotherapy - Relationship therapy - Couples counselling Do you need help in your relationship?
