Re: Man wandering between the Commons

It would be good to get a photo of him so we all know who he is and if he does become violent it can be given to police. However if you can get a photo dont let him see you take it in case it sets him off. We should not have to put up with abusive drunks/drugs in the streets the police need to deal ...

Re: Marks and Spencers Food hall opens on St John's Road, Battersea

I am very surprised at the negative review my wife and I have used the new M&S quite a lot since it opens. It has a huge range of food, daily food tastings, wine and coffee tastings, no long queues at the tills, self service tills and all sorts. I can see some of the local stores including Waitr...

Re: Has anyone tried Trauma focused CBT or EMDR?

As a therapist I have used EMDR Therapy for about 25 years and trained with the accredited EMDR Association and with LCCH. I use it mainly for PTSD and for unblocking. I consistently have dramatic results and never have found you need 12 sessions that would suggest something is not right. It is a ve...

Re: New Play Cafe on Northcote Road?

The Bees Knees at the BAC ( Battersea Arts Centre) is very popular. They charge £2.50 per child in the mornings (parents free) and free in the afternoon. They are all planning classes too. It has a great playroom for children and there is a cafe too. My wife takes our grandchildren there and they lo...

Re: HypnoBirthing after previous difficult birth?

Hi, hypnotherapy has been used in childbirth for many years I am told Madonna used it when she had her children many years ago and more recently the Duchess of Cambridge had it for morning sickness so it is widely used and tried and tested. I recommended it to my daughter-in-law 4 years ago and she ...

Re: Please advise - landscaping/garden company for small jobs

Try Morganics in Battersea. It is run by Mattie Morgan and his wife ( who is a great florist). They did our neighbours garden (which is tiny) and also did some work for us. Google them for their number. They are based between Asda and Battersea Rise.

Re: Psychological Infertility

Ironically being told to relax or stop worrying about it is good advice but as we all know that is not easy to do. It is like being told not to think about a pink elephant when automatically that is exactly what you think about. I have had a few private emails from this discussion one from a journo ...

Re: How to get in the mood?

I see this topic has had over 1000 hits so it has struck a nerve. One of the important things many of my patients tell me (assuming there are no medical or relationship issues) is how difficult it is when you have young children to find the time and place for romance and also having found it at a ti...

Re: How to get in the mood?

This sort of problem is an everyday problem for many people especially if you have young children. If it does not bother either of you then no problem but if it does at some stage you will have to address it. Lovemaking is so much more than just orgasms it is about general closeness and intimacy and...

Re: How to get in the mood?

Tactfully - as some mens egos can be a bit precious. It depends on what hubby is like - for some it is probably best to turn the whole thing around and ask him what things he really likes or would like - this normally will get his attention and after he has talked about his needs and desires a bit t...

Re: How to get in the mood?

In my job this sort of issue is raised a lot when I am working with relationship issues. I agree with much that has been said but would add a couple of thoughts. 1. Be careful about using ****** - I am seeing more and more male clients who have become desensitized to sex through viewing ****** every...
