Further information

In the year 2000 I went to see a therapist as I was not happy with my life and was dealing with a second bout of depression.  I was so pleased with the results that I started training to be a therapist myself so I could share the benefits with others.  I'd tried dozens of self-help books, spiritual paths and other ways to feel content, and although they all have their merits nothing quite hit the mark like therapy did.

I have been in therapy ever since with various therapists offering many modalities of therapy.  I continue to grow, develop and learn and hope to continue this process throughout my life.

Trust your judgement about picking the right therapist for you.

All the best,

Chris
