“Our brains are wired to find our stories-untold stories, broken stories and stories with missing pieces. These are the stories we need to tell”

Greenwich Counselling
Time to grow 
Time to play
Growing through change is something we hope to accomplish in therapy. Time to play is meant to highlight that kids communicate, solve problems and feel better through play. The slogans for Greenwich Counselling Time to Grow and Time to Play also reference time.
Greenwich Time is the name for the measure of time at Greenwich, (located in London, England) counted from midnight. It can be thought of and is referred to, as Coordinated Universal Time. The notion of a Coordinated Universal Time conjures an image of togetherness for me; all of us experiencing the same “time”; all of us finding the right time.
Timing is important in therapy
maybe it is time for someone to truly listen to you; time to learn skills or strategies, or time to walk away from those old coping ways.
Is it the right time to work through the trauma that is affecting your life in unwanted ways? With trauma therapy in particular, it is important that you are ready. That’s because while it’s true therapy can help you learn, grow and find peace—it can also really hurt. Sometimes things feel worse before they get better. Therapy when you are prepared, and “at the right time “, can help.
