About Strongheart
I’ve had my own experiences and issues with mental wellbeing and, although you’ll never hear me utter the cliché ‘I’ve come out the other side’, I’ve made real headway over the years.
The first thing I learned about counselling? It isn’t a magic wand. After undergoing individual and group psychotherapy, I was surprised to find afterwards that I was still the same ‘me’ as before with many of the same struggles.
However, counselling gave me a safe space to learn more about myself, my behaviours and my beliefs and, more importantly, tools to deal with them. Those tools transformed my life.
I’m now a full-time therapist myself, meeting with clients from all walks of life in the Liverpool area. I also offer counselling to those further afield, including beyond the UK and in different time zones via secure online video link.
