Counselling for Children

It is increasingly recognised that the traumas and hurts suffered by kids in their childhoods have dramatic effect on the course and well-being of their adult lives.

Parental separation, sudden trauma and experiences of loss, death, abuse, bullying and neglect (just to name a few), can all be understood by a child as powerfully harmful messages about who they are and what the world they are being asked to live in is like.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler
