Counselling in the time of Covid

“A mixture of overwork, Covid isolation and running a business led me to a spectacular mental crash in mid-Feb. I just stopped and thankfully knew that I needed help. The sessions with Gill were fantastic, they helped me look realistically at the situation, consider my actions and coping mechanisms and rethink my work/life balance.

Two massive things happened a) I learned to say no and turn work away b) I learned to ask for help from my business partners without fear or shame. As a result after time off I am back at work and feeling able to cope and also have better awareness of the warning signs and courage to take action sooner.

The big surprise was how well counselling by video conference worked, which again is testament to Gill's skill as a counsellor.” July 2021
