Hello,
Think you will all have worked out by now that I am Nadine and I am a Therapist. First off thanks for getting this far and looking at my blog, I am just starting out in the world of therapy and in the world of self employment. Its all quite new, exciting and scary if I am honest.
What I am hoping to do with this blog is too talk a bit about some of the things that I think about as a therapist and as a person. When I am in a room with clients we share an experience and play a little part in what happens in each others lives and that's what I am hoping to do here.
I will never (obviously) speak about clients but I will share some of general areas that come up in therapy and about some of my own experiences and indeed feelings. I hope that by doing this that it makes someones path a little smoother and in many ways will help me process some of my own thoughts.
I have had a few discussions over the last couple of weeks about blogs and about the motivations for people sharing things online and some people are concerned about it. I have thought long and hard about the inclusion of a blog in my website and I do think its important, I myself follow many blogs that have been both eye opening and a support to me. I've done a lot of work on me as I have studied to be a therapist and I am OK with sharing parts of me if it makes the world of our emotions a little easier for some, even if they are not coming to see me.
I cant claim that the blog is entirely selfless as it is a part of my website and a tool that I hope will help me build my practice, showing possible clients the kind of person that they will be coming to see. Also I know that writing helps me process whats happening with me so fingers crossed that is a bonus too.
I feel I also need say, before I really get going on this world of public writing, that I have struggled for a long time with spelling and grammar. It's a part of me that I have taken a long time to get to love but I think I actually do now, one of my little quirks and something I am going to write about in future posts. For now though please excuse the possible dodgy spelling, these posts will come from the heart and therefore I wont be getting them prof read.
Ok so that's me laid that out, hopefully I haven't scared you off with that. I aim to post at least once a week (even have it marked in my diary so it must be true).
