Why I became a therapist

I became a therapist because I love helping people. I believe it is so important to listen in a non judgemental manner to people who have not felt heard before. I enjoy supporting people to understand their difficulties so they can make positive changes in their life.

The thing I enjoy most about being a therapist is seeing the difference in people and their lives when they start to heal.

My interests outside of work

Outside of work I think it’s really important to look after my own wellbeing. I do this by spending time with those I care about. I also value spending time doing my hobbies. These include crocheting anything from blankets, clothes or toys to wild swimming all year round.
