WHY I LOVE MY JOB.

To start of with, I was never one for small talk. It somewhat bores me. I mean it’s Ok and at times necessary but I feel it is a conversation (if you can call it that) that emerges straight out of habit. I prefer in- depth conversations, about how people function, how they think, what they feel, how they reason and how they come to give  meaning to their world. Up close and personal conversations about their realities, and how life can sometimes be experienced as bitter sweet, or even just bitter.
I enjoy the journey of self-growth which in one way or another emerges in the counselling room, both of the client and also mine. There is no greater satisfaction than that of watching a person evolve, from the depth of their pain to a lighter way of being. 
Struggles and pain are all opportunities to grow and change, that is why they come to us. Without them nothing would evolve. In order to awaken something must happen to remind you that you have dozed off. 

I feel honoured to witness such breakthroughs, such revelations, such burst of self awareness. 

Now that you have come in the knowing it is very difficult to try and not know what you now know. 

From here you can now move forward without the wieght and pain. In order for change to occur we often need to experience the pain, our greatest teacher.
