I am lucky to be physically fit and enjoy rock climbing, hiking, long distance walking and gym workouts
Skills I have gained along the way that would be relevant to a career in counselling.
- Communication
Listening and understanding patient/customer/staff requirements, expectations and needs. With this has come a respect and patience for people in general.
Self knowledge
The unlimited value in self knowledge and subsequent understanding of the self in relation to others. That gaining self knowledge is a continuum
- Courage, endurance and determination
Running a business on my own has required me to believe in myself, take chances, and keep going when it feels as if everything is against me.
- Curiosity
There is always so much to learn, to extend understanding of how life works but also to find peace within that life.
