Support for Life's Challenges
Applying Metacognitive Therapy to foster clarity and resilience in daily life
General Life Counselling
At Lazy Therapy, I offer tailored support to help you move beyond mental blocks and live with greater ease. My approach primarily uses Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), which focuses on shifting how you think, rather than the content of your thoughts. This effortless approach helps you navigate everyday challenges, foster personal growth, and build resilience.
Life can feel overwhelming, but the right support can make a real difference. Counselling with me is about more than just "fixing problems." It's about empowering you to live with more confidence, clarity, and intentionality by shifting how you relate to your thoughts and internal experiences. We can focus on a range of areas, including:
Managing Stress & Overwhelm: Understanding how your thinking patterns contribute to stress and learning to disengage from unhelpful mental loops. Understanding & Managing Your Emotions: Gaining insight into how overthinking can intensify emotional responses, and applying MCT to create mental space and reduce emotional distress. Improving Communication & Relationships: Learning to direct your attention more effectively, reducing self-focus or worry that might hinder clear communication and connection. Building Confidence & Self-Esteem: Shifting attention away from self-critical rumination or threat monitoring related to perceived flaws, allowing your innate capabilities to emerge. Enhancing Motivation & Productivity: Breaking free from procrastination driven by excessive planning, over-analysis, or perceived overwhelm, by learning to engage in action regardless of inner mental states. Navigating Life Transitions: Applying MCT principles to manage the worry and rumination that can accompany significant life changes, fostering adaptability and resilience. Your Path to Effortless Living: My approach focuses on applying the powerful principles of MCT to these broader life areas. We won't delve into endless analysis of problems, but rather explore your metacognitive beliefs – your beliefs about how you think – and reshape your attentional control.
You'll learn to:
Notice and Detach: Briefly observe thoughts, feelings, and impulses as mental events, without getting stuck or feeling compelled to act on them. Direct Your Attention: Consciously choose where to place your mental focus, moving away from unhelpful overthinking and towards present-moment engagement or purposeful action. Reduce Mental Effort: Discover that often, doing less mental work (less worrying, less ruminating) leads to more effective problem-solving and a greater sense of control. Taking the First Step: Whether you’re dealing with general life challenges, seeking to improve your overall well-being, or wanting to live with more mental freedom, counselling at Lazy Therapy offers a supportive, confidential space for growth. Let’s work together to apply the effortless power of MCT to create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and right for you.
