What do you love most about your job?
The ability to help and support others to be the very best versions of themselves has been my motivation for 25 years. From my years in education, empowering the most vulnerable young people in our communities, to now, supporting adults all over the World, struggling with their mental health - facilitating change has been my focus. I have been there, and know that is something which is never too far away from us all. Simply knowing or believing that it CAN be 'put in its box', is so often the first hurdle to jump and, seeing this happen to so many people over the years, brings me a pride and a joy that words cannot adequately describe.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I struggled and in my darkest moments it was the power and love of strangers that pulled be back from the edge. It is as a direct consequence of their actions that called me to do the same. Text book psychology may work for some but, for me, the ability to talk to others that had been exactly where I was, made all the difference. I blogged, and people read.....in vast numbers. The rest was history and now Taking off the Mask supports over 10,000 people in over 100 countries.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me if they want someone that they can consider 'real'. I would never question the many wonderful and superb counsellors and therapists that are out there but, if like me, you would feel more comfortable with someone that has the same lived-experiences and knows exactly how it feels to be sitting across from me, I can safely say that you won't be disappointed. I don't tick boxes and don't watch clocks - I only facilitate change.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can offer online and remote sessions for those that prefer it but, of course, would always advocate face-to-face, wherever possible.
