I always feel very honoured when people choose to work with me. I consider it a great privilege that they feel confident enough in my training and experience to help them through tough times to the other side. Sometimes people turn up in my office that have had a particularly tough time, and this client is somebody who has without doubt been to the depths of human despair. Beautiful, warm, acutely intelligent and articulate, she seemed to be dismissed by the ‘normal’ routes to help and was badly let down by this neglect to assist. This lovely young lady is well into recovery and using her experience to not only change the things that led to her depression, but helping others to move forwards out of hopelessness. I applaud not only her courage and wisdom but also her determination to shatter the stigma around mental health issues.
