So my take away or experience doing counselling sessions with Bel has been liberating and life affirming. I think deep down inside there have been so many un-dealt with emotions, thoughts, experiences & questions,..and Bel has been helpful in identifying and acknowledging those many invisible ‘elephants’ in my life.
Despite doing our sessions through Skype, (as I live overseas) I haven’t felt less connected or invested in,..in fact I’ve felt safer sometimes because I’m in the comfort of my own home, and if we’ve talked about deep and heavy stuff, I’ve had the freedom to process and emote in a safe space after. Bel exudes kindness and support. She balances challenging and caring for me well, and is interested in every part of my life, no remark I make is insignificant.
Her plan for my recovery evolves with my understanding and growth of myself-as we talk through stuff each session-I feel very encouraged that I don’t have to fit into someone else’s definition of ‘better’ but I get to define it myself. I’m grateful I made this choice, dealing with yourself is not easy, but when you’ve got someone who’s ready and committed to the journey with you, it makes it all so much easier.
