Relationships, abuse to name just a few. I am a professional registered counsellor in the Lincoln area. Let me introduce myself: - I’m 51 years old and a survivor of abuse. It's a Tuesday night and I’m on the sofa in my PJ’s with my dogs watching TV. My life couldn’t be more chilled right now! But it hasn’t always been like this. After experiencing trauma as a child, everyday life seemed a struggle to me. I did my best to ignore the pain but it didn’t go away. So, after years of repeating the same mistakes, I chose to “feel the fear but do it anyway” and got help with my emotional health and wellbeing and learnt that counselling isn’t just sitting and talking about your feelings, it’s entering a journey of self-discovery to find the tools within yourself to save your own life. After overcoming my trauma, I knew I had to help others so I trained for 6 years at Ridgeway College with Professor Graham Cocking, to qualify as a counsellor. Talking therapies allow you to explore new coping strategies to make the positive changes that are needed. Counselling is not an advice service; it’s a self-rescue one. No one is perfect, I’m only human just like you! I know that s**t happens and we all deal with s**t differently - I’m not here to judge; just to listen, empower, and support. You have all the power within your own mind to move forward, I can just help clear the fog so that you can use them. Hope to speak to you soon, I don’t bite, honest! X
