My Personal Journey into Counselling
"My self-worth and my self-confidence was low, my boundaries were not always great. I also had personal experience of a narcissistic relationship and several toxic relationships both personal and workplace. I know first-hand what this feels like and how crushing it can be to your self-worth. Personal therapy broke patterns for me, led me to making new choices and setting personal boundaries. I am passionate about people reaching their full potential, healing from toxic or narcissistic relationships, taking back control from their addictions and having good self-worth and I would like to help you on your journey."
