About me, myself and I

I had an accident leaving me with a physical disability, I had to have ops, medication, counselling, and attend a pain management clinic in Bath for a month. 

I live with chronic pain 24/7 and I had to learn how to manage my pain, not my pain manage me.

I had to change a lot about who I was, to the who I am now. Not only from a physical point of view but a mental and emotional point of view.

So with all the 19 years of change I managed to work through so much to change to the new normal.

I had counselling, CBT, IAPT, anger management, for the emotional roller coaster I had to go through. Not finding that coounsellor who could get me, understand me and not make it seam it was all in my head.

I am the therapist I wish was about when I needed counselling. 

After lots of training and finding out I am dyslexic (explains a lot now) 

I qualified in 2015 and working with people from all ages and walks of life. 10 year olds and up
