Senior counsellor Gopal Mahey gave up drugs, and now helps others do the same

Gopal Mahey is senior counsellor at the Centre for Psychotherapy, where he focusses on supporting individuals fighting substance abuse. In 2013, Gopal himself had been arrested for drug offences. It was a turning point. Throughout his journey of personal transformation, his family rallied around him  and gave him the strength to re-embrace his calling as a counsellor with a renewed sense of mission. Gopal shares how his journey has given him a special empathy and insight into what former offenders and their families go through, and how he uses his lived experience in his clinical work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
