I decided to become a therapist at a point in my life when I was faced with the scary reality that if I wanted a life I found satisfying it was down to me. Like many women this landed like a tonne of bricks after a big transition in my life. An adjustment from the life I knew then to a brand new unknown one in front of me. Scary at first but then, once I grabbed hold of it, totally liberating and empowering.

 

I was fortunate enough to have my own skills and a strong sense of self to draw upon at that time but that isn’t the case for everyone. Over the years I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients sharing my ability to bury negativity and doubt with positivity and self belief. Everyone I have worked with has been unique in their own way but I have learned that we all have a few things in common...

 

We all need help at some point in our lives.

Most of us think we shouldn't need it.

We all feel better having received it.

 

It can be hard getting out of your own way, facing your fears, asking for help, taking risks and following your heart but I can tell you first hand that it is worth it.
