We all have an inner voice - but sometimes it isn’t very kind.

Unhelpful thinking styles can quietly shape how we feel and behave. You might notice patterns like:

All or nothing thinking (“If I can’t do it perfectly, there’s no point.”)

Mind reading (“They must think badly of me.”)

Catastrophising (“This will end terribly.”)

Harsh self criticism (“I should be coping better than this.”)

These thoughts aren’t facts, but they can feel very real, especially when stress, anxiety, or low mood are present.

At Turning Tides Therapy based Whiteley, we help you slow these patterns down, understand where they come from, and gently challenge them. Therapy isn’t about “positive thinking” or forcing change, it’s about developing a kinder, more balanced way of relating to your thoughts.

With the right support, thinking styles can soften. Perspective can widen. And emotional space can return.

You don’t have to believe everything your mind tells you.
Support is available - and change is possible.

As the seasons shift, so can we.
Spring isn’t far away, and with change often comes emotion - hope, restlessness, uncertainty.

Therapy can offer a steady space to reflect, release, and gently move forward at your own pace.

You don’t have to navigate change alone.

Last night I watched Macbeth at the King’s Theatre in Southsea, Beneath the power, ambition and drama is a very human story of a man slowly unravelling under the weight of fear, guilt and relentless inner pressure. Macbeth’s mind becomes a battleground until he completely loses the connection to who he once was. It’s a powerful reminder that when internal struggles go unheard or unsupported, they can take over everything.

At Turning Tides Therapy, we often work with people facing their own “Macbeth moments”, feeling trapped by their thoughts, overwhelmed by expectations, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and self-doubt.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and gently reconnect with yourself before the it becomes too overwhelming.

It's a normal human reaction to feel overwhelmed at times and there are things you can do to help.
However, if you feel like it is all to much then consider getting professional help.
