I am a Psychologist/counsellor, having gained many degrees,masters, however there nothing more gaining than life experiences, because I beleive that all the degree's in the world cannot replace one's life experience's . I have always been interested in this type of work, and knowing that after a session with a client i have in even a small way helped is the most rewarding feeling that one in my line of work can have. I do not beleive in clock watching, as sometimes it takes longer for a client to feel that he or she can start trusting and opening up, maybe thats why I have the clients that I have. I have been seriously thinking of on line counselling, which for some client's would be easier, and of course having a web cam helps with the personnal side.,
In my line of work TRUST is the most important.
Beleive in your dreams and dont let anyone tell you it cannot be done.
Remember there are no guide lines on how one should live, all I know is that life can change within minutes, hours, days, that is why I beleive in the saying live every day as it was your last make every second minute hour count, and never forget to say I Love You to your nearest and dearest, because sometimes it may be the last words that you utter to them.
