When I was undergoing training to become a counsellor, I found it difficult to find a counsellor who felt right for me. It was just an instinct thing. I guess I was looking for someone who could understand me.
I also think I was looking for a counsellor who had not necessarily had an easy life, maybe someone who had struggled a bit and had weathered a few disasters along the way. After undergoing the necessary discipline to become a counsellor I now realise how judgemental I was!
They say what goes around comes around and now when people first meet me, they get the impression that I have had a cosy conventional life. Not quite true! Life had other plans for me and through these experiences and in dealing with them, I like to think that I have something to offer.
