"Here is a bit about me and what got me into counselling.My name is Diane and I have worked as a HR professional for over 20 years. In 2018 I decided that I wanted to do something that helped others and also gave me greater satisfaction by doing a job that would enable people to move on from whatever it was that was troubling them, I saw counselling as fitting the bill and began studying. I really enjoyed the study, learning about how our minds work and the positive power that counselling can have.During my placement, I worked with clients who were experiencing loss, guilt, anxiety, stress and depression. Seeing what a difference the counselling made to the clients confirmed that my chosen path was the right one.Having been through difficult times in my life, and understanding myself and how I handled the hard times, I feel equips me with the empathy that is needed to build a good rapport with clients, which in turn will gain their trust and by them knowing that confidentiality is assured enables the client to be open and honest without any recrimination. I am not here to judge you I am here to listen to you and help you to move on."
