Since becoming a
therapist in 1995 I have continued to learn about my profession. I do this
through reading, speaking with other therapists and attending Continuous
Professional Development courses. I regularly attend conferences for
hypnotherapists and psychotherapists and follow new research. I suppose you
could say that I’ve aspired to become the best therapist that I can be so that
I can serve my clients well.
My training was good and
combined with the life skills I’d gained over years of working with people
wanting to improve their situation, I had a good start. I’d had training roles in commercial
businesses as well as my own, and my voluntary work in a Women’s Aid refuge
where I lived and worked with women escaping domestic abuse opened my eyes and
my mind. I learned how damaged people do damage, but also how wonderfully
resilient human beings can be when given the right support.
Every day, I witnessed the
strength and resourcefulness of the women who fought to rebuild their lives in
the face of enormous adversity. I learned things about the human spirit that I
never would have learned from any seminar, textbook, or training. I learned not
to make assumptions about people and not to label them as this kind of person
or that kind of person. I learned that I could learn something from everyone I
met, whatever their schooling or background, whether they lived in large house
in Chelsea or a caravan or squat.
Over the years of being
a professional therapist I have continued to learn about human frailties and
strengths and my clients have been the best teachers. With every client and every
year that passes as a professional therapist I have improved my skills. Each client
I meet and every client session that I have teaches me more. Every client that
I see and every hypnotherapy student that I teach in my training school reminds
me of the reasons I chose this amazing profession. If you’re curious about
working or training with me, book
to have a chat with me now. I’d love to talk with you about how I can help.
