A counselling Journey - why I said no to counselling

Hello everyone and welcome to The Counselling Room.This is my first podcast where I nervously but openly share my own journey from a counselling perspective of being an avoidant, non-believer to being the client — feeling vulnerable, exposed, and uncomfortable…Why would I tell a stranger how I’m feeling — wow!This is not a podcast giving reasons why you should go to counselling. It is not for everyone, and sometimes curiosity is enough. It’s a reflective, honest, amusing, and personal journey of why I said no to counselling, how it can be difficult to accept support, what can hold us back, and what can change when we begin to open up.To be professionally supported or not? That is the questionIt starts with understanding.I hope my vulnerability, of sharing my personal story, gives you a true unfiltered insight, into the struggle of attending counselling sessions, and saying how we really feel In counsellingIf you would like to know more about me, my services, or to read previous or current blogs, head to my website https://www.spread-your-wings-therapy.co.uk Contact details are also availableI hope to see you there!
