Thank you for joining us for this week’s blog. During our last blog, we focused on gratitude, something that we can all be practicing more often during these difficult times.

Thank you for joining us for this week’s blog. The last blog we did focused on hope, and now we want to focus on something else very timely right now: gratitude.

Thank you for joining me for this week’s blog! I often get asked why I believe in what I do and how I do it. That’s the focus for this blog – I am going to share why I think counselling really does work and why that belief actually starts with who you are as a client. […]
