Profile
As a Psychology student and for some time after, Faith had various roles within the social care and education system. It was there she discovered the most rewarding aspects. They involved offering therapeutic support and helping people through life's challenges. Faith pursued this by advancing her studies and becoming a qualified Counsellor and Psychological Therapist.
Words from Faith
"I don't care about people just because I'm a Therapist. I cared and felt for people first and chose to become a Therapist. Knowing what it was like to hurt, I wanted to help people to heal.
There is no therapeutic intervention more powerful than the actual relationship with a client. It's my role to encourage individuals to get to know themselves better. It's my aim to help clients identify the causes which are holding them back from achieving more.
Being a Therapist is a privilege. Clients let us into chapters of their lives they don't share with everyone else. I will never take that lightly.
Working with young people and adults, aged 4 to 90 years old, from diverse backgrounds, from all over the world teaches you so much. I'm truly grateful as I have grown too. I thank my clients for that.
It's my belief that when you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled in the process, this is why I love being a Counsellor. It does not feel like work, my passion and purpose truly came together." Faith.
Myths about being a Therapist debunked
My job isn't depressing it’s filled with hope
I understand why some might assume that therapy revolves around sadness, but I have a front-row seat to witness the resilience of the human spirit.
Every day, I'm amazed by how strong and resourceful my clients are.
Being a therapist doesn't mean my own life is without ups and downs
I learn right alongside my clients. Just because I guide others doesn't mean I have everything figured out in my own life - and that's completely okay.
Lived experience can truly enhance the depth of our presence as therapists.
Connection over perfection
I built a career on connection, not perfection. I try to lead with honesty, rapport and authenticity.
Every time I have trusted that, it’s felt true to who I am and it’s helped my clients.
I think about my clients outside of our sessions
Even with strong boundaries, I care deeply about them. I reflect on their progress, challenges, and moments of growth because their stories resonate with me.
One of most important parts of counselling is the therapeutic relationship.
