When you start a relationship, it’s natural to spend a lot of time with your new partner.

But if your partner demands all your time and gets excessively jealous when you’re not with them – this is not okay.

If something feels ‘off’, trust your instincts. Your local police force can tell you if your partner/date has a history of controlling or abusive behaviours through a free and confidential scheme called Clare’s Law.

With this information you can then decide the next steps in your relationship.

Rounding off Mental Health Awareness Week with a workshop I attended yesterday on Schema Conditioning Psychology where I met The Speakmans and learnt more about their approach to working with anxiety, self esteem and phobias.

This was really interesting and I learnt a lot to practice personally as well as useful techniques to use when working with clients.

You are the most important project you’ll ever work on and it is never too late to try something new.
