Happy Wednesday? Half way there or still 3 days to go?

Work is statistically one of the biggest causes for stress in our lives, leaving us with that constant cup-half-empty feeling. And when that stress begins to invade our non-work hours, it can do huge damage to us and our relationships.

Don't dread the day. Contact our support team: they'll help you work out whether counselling could provide the release and direction you need to overcome work stress.

"I would say that counselling was crucial for me - I really think I would have ended up signed-off work or hospitalised if I hadn't had that. Somehow it makes you able to carry on, because you know someone is there to talk to, that you'll get a chance to go over all the unfinished business again."

Melissa's story from caba charity demonstrates the very real way that caba supports chartered accountants and ICAEW members. We love partnering with charities that go the extra mile for their clients.

The past can't be cancelled. None of us can go back and change it. Nor can we prevent it from shaping us. Trying to erase the past means erasing some part of us.

But the past is also finished. It doesn't get the final word on who we are. It doesn't have to haunt us. Our counsellors can help you work out how to release your past.

To come to terms with it. To forgive. To let go of what was and what wasn't. So it doesn't define you, doesn't haunt you, doesn't limit your future.

Have you ever wondered why we use ? It's because vocalising the problem - bringing it out into the open - is the first step to solving it. Burying or sitting on an issue, whether a mental health issue or a relational issue, just leaves it festering. The journey to freedom and better mental & relational health? It starts with naming the problem.

Send us a message - name the problem today - and our support staff will help you figure out the next step.
