You know some of the stuff that’s in there, but there’s an awful lot more you’re not sure about – mysterious bags and boxes that have sat there for years, gathering dust. And when things are shaken up – say for moving house or renovating – these are opened up and finally you are exposed to all that’s in there. Only then can you take stock of what you truly have and what you can do with it.

This is a simplistic analogy, of course – but it sums up what I can help you to do: to look inside those mental boxes and properly understand some of the unacknowledged parts of you that have been sitting there for so long, quietly affecting your thinking and behaviours. Do this and you can address them, eventually leaving you with a clearer mind and a greater sense of who you are and where you’re going.
