So.....you are stressed, anxious, fearful, overwhelmed, confused, shattered, angry, hurt, plagued by the past or in emotional turmoil?
Read on...
A few years ago I was running a course on happiness when one of the participants said: "Oh it’s ok for you, what you know about real problems -you've probably had a perfect life". I never said anything at the time but was inwardly thinking "wow - she couldn't be more wrong!" You see I may be a therapist and a coach but I am also a wife, a mother, a carer, a friend, a neighbour and, just like you, a human being living in a very stressful, often overwhelming, modern world. It’s not because I have led a charmed, perfect life that I choose to do this amazing work but because I have been right where you are right now.....and, if I can come out smiling then believe me you can too. You see, a happy person isn't someone who has had a perfect life but rather someone who has learnt how to deal with their problems, overcome them and then move on. My own search to find the peace and happiness I craved has enabled me to do just that.....move on. I hope I get the opportunity to share with you the skills, the techniques, the knowledge and the insights I have discovered on my journey. Over the last 25 years I have read many books, attended numerous lectures, seminars and webinars, completed hours and hours of courses, listened to endless audios and recordings but I believe the fundamental most important aspect of the work I do with clients comes from who I am on the inside - from my own personal journey and very much from my heart. |
