Our Story
So what is our story. Well it is actually my story. Why did I start a private practice in counselling. Easy, I have had so many experiences in my life-time that I believe I have the first hand experience to understand many real life issues that people are faced with. I love to learn and so reading and studying and learning about how we think, behave and act is something I am fascinated by. I would rather go and learn something, listen to someone’s story or be involved in a group counselling session than go to the races, sit in a pub, or go fishing, camping, etc. There is only one other thing that I really enjoy in my spare time and that is clothes shopping. :) I also enjoy the tranquility of the beach.
I decided that it was my way of giving back. If I can help people in their journey through life then I will feel that all that I have been through has had a purpose. So what have I experienced. Well, I have been a Primary School Teacher, a Police-woman, a Beauty Therapist, a Retail Assistance, worked in hospitality and that is to just name a few. Then as far as personal experiences go I have experienced the loss of my parents, close friends and miscarriages. I know how painful loss can be. I have experienced love, divorce, separation, the joy and challenges of having children, of being a single mother with little support.
PS I love dogs, watching a good movie (preferably true life story) and watching something funny.
