Well we are a week into 2016, so we thought we would repost a great piece by our own mindfulness expert, Miranda Bevis. How many of us are still keeping to those new year’s resolutions? Should we even be trying – adding additional pressures to our already stressful days? In days gone by, as the…
Read MoreLots of Christmas shopping was done over the weekend. We woke up in the knowledge that money needed to be spent, car park spaces must be battled for and crowds coped with. It was daunting, but ’tis the season…’ and all that – jolliness is required of us. Here at The Terrace we do like to…

More relationship tips for St Valentine’s Day – and today is the day… For many, this is a day that can really intensify feelings of loneliness, and we do recognise that.

Read MoreRecently we have been asking our readers, and followers on Facebook and twitter, which therapies they would like to know more about. At The Terrace we offer psychotherapy and complimentary therapy, but within those areas there are many different approaches to emotional and physical well-being. It can be confusing – and in past posts we have…

Read MoreDriving home the other day I pulled the lever to wash my windscreen and nothing happened. The windscreen wash bottle was empty. It was empty because I hadn’t thought to check it while it was still working. Cars are a bit like our bodies. While everything is ok and they’re working well we don’t really…
