Lou Lachman, Energy Counselling

Lou Lachman, Energy Counselling I invite you to counselling in a warm and supportive place, where you can find a way forwards that fits with what you want for yourself.

Energy Counselling is about resonance, and trusting our bodies and inner parts, so that we can come into our life empowered and present, ready to step into the life we want. As a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential, ethical and effective practice. Please contact me for an appointment. I am a Humanistic, Body-centred, Multi-Cultural Psychotherapist and Counsellor. While I appreciate that can be difficult for many of us to come into counselling. I will make this as easy as possible. In fact, if we are not a good fit, I will help you find another counsellor that suits your needs. Often through attending counselling we want to address issues that cause us pain. This pain or difficulty can take many forms, it could be

- physical pain, like muscle aches
- emotional pain, like depression
- mental pain, like anxiety
- spiritual pain, like a sense of purposelessness and alienation

Counselling works to address all of these levels of awareness. As you listen to yourself and see through the eyes of different parts of yourself, you become able to comfort those parts and develop skills that help you to become free of emotional patterns that keep you repeating the same relationships or the same patterns of behaviour. Counselling is focused on supporting you to become more aware of your own resources in the present moment. We will work together to find what your resources are. Some of these resources are skills you already have and ways of being that you already know. I will teach you some new skills too, which will assist you to remain balanced and relaxed in the face of difficulties. Counselling can help with most issues, some issues I specialise in:
trauma, sexual abuse, incest, childhool neglect
addiction, co-dependence
bullying at work, exam nerves
grief and loss
cancer and issues related to long term illness (ME and fibromyalgia), chronic pain
anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation
stress, phobias, anxiety, fears, panic attacks
difficulties with goal achievement or confidence
compulsive habits, OCD
Insomnia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
overwhelming emotions

Where: Sessions can be held in person at my office in Bristol (82 Colston Street, BS1 5BB), by phone, by video chat, according to your preference. Whatever your concerns, give me a call on 07871105335, or email me, [email protected], to see if I can help.

Your fury is not other people's job to manage.

When we don't tend to our inner world, that pain doesn't just disappear. It leaks out. It shows up as anger at the people closest to us, even when they didn't cause it.

Learning to care for yourself isn't selfish. It is necessary. It means sitting with your own feelings instead of bashing them on someone else.

Others can listen, but you are the only one who can hear most of what you are feeling. Give space to that.

And when it comes to boundaries, there is a difference between being respected and being feared. Boundaries said with calm clarity teach people how to treat you. Fury does not teach. It just makes people brace for the next outburst, and see you as unstable.

So do the inner work. Learn your patterns. Learn what you're really feeling underneath the anger. Then you can teach your boundaries instead of teaching people to walk on eggshells around you.

That is real freedom, for you and for everyone around you.

Such a beautiful full moon. What are you letting go of and what are you bringing in? Let me know in the comments. I’m letting go of fear and bringing in trust. I’m letting go of criticism and bringing in confidence. I’m letting go of hesitation and bringing in initiation.

Responsibility starts with our sons.

We spend so much energy teaching daughters and trans kids how to stay safe. Watch your surroundings. Guard your drink. Walk with keys between your fingers. That is a heavy thing to carry every single day.

But safety shouldn't be only their job. It is time we ask something different of our sons. Teach them to be responsible for their actions. Teach them what respect really looks like, and hold them to it.

This is not about blame. It is about where we put our energy. If we want a safer world, it starts with raising boys who understand their impact, not just training others to brace for it.

Let's put the responsibility where it belongs.

Care is not optional. It is the first step.

For so long, Black and Brown people have had to carry so much. They have had to explain their pain, prove their worth, and stay calm while doing it. That is too much to ask of anyone. Yet, it is still being asked.

Before we ask them to hold more, we need to ask white people to step up. Learn to care. Learn to take responsibility. Do this work first. If you are white, you have been lied to. Find out the history. There are many creators that can help.

This is not about guilt. It is about balance. It is about making space so the weight is shared, not carried by the few who are already tired.

Real change starts with accountability. It starts with showing up, listening, and doing the work without being asked twice.

Let's build a world with more room for everyone to breathe.

Love the woods and the autumn colours starting. The only red is poison oak at the moment. Gorgeous and deadly.
