Treat yourself to therapy:

People often ask how I ended up working as a Counsellor Psychotherapist. I do this work because I love it and because I believe that EVERYONE can benefit from it.
As part of my training and work on myself I have had to undertake hundreds of hours of Personal Therapy.
It is important that I have self awareness when working with clients, otherwise my unconscious drives, needs and emotions might get in the way.

After 20 years it’s still a work in progress! The reason I share this is because I have always found going to therapy over the years to be such a privilege and sometimes a luxury.

Why I became a therapist:

I started getting interested in this work when a woman I used to babysit for (who is now a very dear friend) used to say she was going to meet her “friend” and she eventually explained that it was her therapist.
With the challenges of life and having a young family, she explained that she found it to be a real luxury to go and offload to somebody objective and that she didn’t have to worry about the therapist’s feelings or being judged etc and she always felt good afterwards.

Just like going to the gym, I really believe that therapy can be a real treat! I don’t believe we should have to wait until things are “really bad” before we go to therapy. It can sometimes take effort but it is a positive thing to do. Treat Yourself!
