Proctor’s Model of Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is one of the most important structures supporting safe, ethical, and effective therapeutic work. Among the many models available, the framework developed by Brigid Proctor in 1987 remains one of the most widely used and practically helpful.

Group Therapy for Anxiety

If you are struggling with anxiety, you may have considered one-to-one therapy. Group therapy can feel like a very different idea, and sometimes a daunting one. However, in reality, it is one of the most effective and supportive ways of working with anxiety.

How Anxiety Narrows Your Attention

How Anxiety Narrows Your Attention When anxiety is active, attention narrows. Your mind becomes focused on threat, risk, and what might go wrong. This happens automatically and often without you realising it. You are not choosing to focus this way. Your nervous system is doing it for you.

How to Reduce Resentment and Bitterness

Most people who struggle with resentment do not experience it as anger all the time. More often it shows up as a heavy feeling in the background. A sense of unfairness that will not settle. A mental replay of what happened. A tightening when a certain person or situation comes to mind.

You might notice it steals energy. It can affect sleep, concentration, and patience with others. Many people I speak with say they feel worn down by it. Others say they feel stuck in an old emotional argument that never quite finishes.
