This blog is dedicated to drawing together information, resources and help for those in the counselling profession, who are caring for youth and those who are looking to find professional resources and are supporting young people through difficulties. The resources I discover and use successfully I will post here, including books, activities, exercises and theory. Items posted are at the discretion of the reader to use as they wish and not meant to replace professional counselling services.

Ish by Peter Reynolds
Here is a book which I found interesting and poignant as the theme is around making your "mistakes" into masterpieces to celebrate. A frustrated doodler is confronted by his sister's admiration of what he thinks are garbage drawings which inspires him. This book would help children who are anxious about making mistakes, who struggle with perfectionism and what follows: procrastination. Where this new-found freedom of expression takes him, is exciting and inspirational. My wife found this at Value Village and I have used it with anxious children.
