Yes! I Can Do It!
"Psych" Yourself Up!
ISBN: 0958171327

Job Interviews, Exam, Sporting Events, Public Speaking, Difficult Conversations.
This powerful recording will help you to do your best in a challenging situation. You will be able to follow your plan and able to control your feelings, thoughts and actions - at all stages of the performance. You can apply this to any real life situation that is important to you.

How Does it Work?

1. Before listening to the CD, Margaret Lord helps you to write down clear and achievable goals.
2. You then specify the techniques, feelings, thoughts, actions and "performance tips", which you wish to use at all stages of your challenging event.
3. Margaret Lord then helps you to enter a deep, relaxed state or trance, in which you will be very receptive to suggestion.
4. In this state you then mentally rehearse for your challenging situation.

I have over 35 years experience as a psychologist and have worked in a wide range of fields of psychology and with people of all types.  My ideas and practices come from many schools of psychology, which I have integrated, into an optimistic, caring, practical and personalised service.

Life Reconstruction Counselling
So many of us become "stuck"!

Overnight everything changes and the world seems to have fallen apart!
People tell us that it may all be a good thing in the long run... but we think they are mad and that they just don't understand!  But as we work through our pain we slowly - ever so slowly - come out of that excruciating darkness, and hope glimmers faintly ahead!  Frequently I have the privilege of working with depressed and lost people who are undergoing a major crisis during an unexpected or unwanted life change; eg. bereavement, war, injury, illness, work stress, redundancy, divorce, etc.
As well as treating depression and grief with up to date techniques, eg. cognitive behavioural techniques, I help people find new "meaning" by exploring and rebuilding their lives.  I can provide vocational assessment, career-change services and life planning.

I have had the pleasure of watching, assisting and supporting many people as they build new lives.  People are often stronger and more resilient than they ever thought they were! I mainly work on a one to one basis.
