From IT Graduate to Professional Counsellor:
My Unexpected Journey*

When I graduated with a Computer Science degree in 2003, the world was in the grip of a recession. Without taking much chances, I took up the first job offer that came my way, at an NGO. What I thought would be a temporary job turned into four years—and by then, I was married, with life taking an unexpected turn.

In 2007, I started my professional journey as an IT Trainer at the Civil Service College. Alongside this role, I volunteered as a family life educator, facilitating marriage preparation courses(MPC).. Many of my students of MPC returned for advice, and soon, I found myself offering what started as informal "advice sessions." But the more I engaged, the deeper my sense of responsibility grew—I knew I needed proper training to support people effectively.

That realisation led me to qualify as a professional counsellor. Starting as a freelancer, my clients were mostly former students and their referrals. But as I grew, so did the challenges: securing a proper counselling space, building credibility, and establishing trust—common hurdles for any independent practitioner.

This pushed me to think bigger. Instead of just freelancing, I decided to build something structured—a Counselling Services Provider with a dedicated space, professional standards, and a team to serve better. And that's how Sparkz Counselling was born!

Looking back, my journey wasn’t what I planned—but it’s proof that sometimes, life guides us toward where we’re meant to be.

Have you ever had a career shift that surprised you?
I’d love to hear your story!

*Breaking the Barriers to Mental Health �*

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many still struggle to access the care they need. Here are 3 major barriers we need to address:

1️⃣ *Social Stigma* – Fear of judgment often prevents people from seeking help. Let’s normalize conversations around mental health and create safe spaces for support.

2️⃣ *Financial Constraints* – Therapy and treatment can be expensive, making it inaccessible for many. Affordable mental health care should be a priority for all.

While we find ways to make the counselling services affordable by working with agencies that provide subsidies, must be careful NOT to bring the Value of counselling down!

3️⃣ *Lack of Awareness* – Many prioritize physical health while neglecting mental well-being. Education is key—mental health impacts every aspect of our lives.

It's time to break these barriers and build a world where mental health is valued, understood, and accessible to all. 💙



Would love to hear your thoughts—what other barriers have you noticed? Let’s discuss! 👇
