The problem with comparing…

Tricia — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:14:31 +0000

If someone makes you feel inadequate, you are probably comparing their strengths with your weakness; if you feel proud, you are probably comparing your strengths with their weakness.

Failure the enemy of success?

Tricia — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:50:39 +0000

You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.

What matters most?

What is done matters, but what is yet to do matters far more.

Tears…

Sometimes people cry not because they’re weak. It’s because they’ve been strong for too long.

Having found myself unwillingly in what is recognised as the second most traumatic life event after bereavement – in fact some would say that divorce is the most traumatic life event as one’s ex is still lurking in the shadows – I felt like a rudderless ship in a heavy storm. I was devastated by the loss but with Tricia’s help I have come through victorious and am now soaring like an eagle in a clear blue sky. My spiritual life has been deeply enriched and I am thoroughly enjoying life again. I dread to think where I might have been without her help and the support of those around me. Having been in a very bad place I am now in a very good place and am very grateful. I cannot recommend her expertise highly enough.

Learning from others…

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

Revd. Dr. Tim Welch – Senior Pastor, Cambray Baptist Church, Cheltenham

Tricia — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:24:12 +0000

One of my early tasks when arriving as pastor at a new church has been to discover a local professional counsellor who will be able to work with individuals who need more specialised help than I am able to give.

I struck gold when I discovered Tricia Johnson and the work of her team, and consequently I regularly refer clients in the direction of Freedom Counselling in Gloucester. Their expertise has already helped numerous people with diverse needs to work towards personal and life solutions and greater wholeness.

Ever grateful for their caring approach and wise philosophy of counselling, I believe that Tricia and team are a God-given asset to the local church and wider community. I am delighted to commend their work.

I feel listened to and appreciated and feel like what I have to say IS important. Going to Tricia’s is a way for me to express everything . . . → Read More: Katy, Cheltenham
