As time went on I noticed how therapy was really causing great shifts in the way I felt and thought. It wasn't always easy to put my finger on exactly what was making the difference, but I felt very positive about how far I had come. Eventually I decided that I would like to train as a counsellor myself, and work with others to support them in their journey. I began my training with a Counselling Skills Certificate, and progressed through to degree level. The training was over 4 years, and wasn't always easy, but the knowledge, enthusiasm and insight it gave me are invaluable.
