My biggest passion and mission is to successful help people to deal with and beat depression without Antidepressants. For the past 7 years I have had the privilege and pleasure to have helped thousands of people deal with depression and anxiety so that they could improve the quality of their life. The thing that really inspires me and motivates me to want help people to deal with and beat depression. Is a because I know how it feels to be struggling with depression but you just can't find a solution to deal with it. I know what it feels like to not want to get up out of bed in a morning because you feel so tired and depression. I know what it feels like to have constant negative thoughts going round in your mind and as result your mood and confidence keeps going lower and lower. I know all of this because I struggled with depression and anxiety for nearly 12 years. When I was aged only 14 unfortunately my mum sadly past away. I soon started to misuse alcohol and drugs and I became very depressed and anxious. I went to the doctors and he gave me Antidepressants but they did nothing for. I tried face to face counselling but that didn't really help me. But back then I didn't realise that there are other therapies that are much more effective treatments for dealing with the problems that I was struggling with. In 2005 I decided to go to group therapy. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life, I was finally able to deal with my addictions. Then I started to transform my life, I went to college to study youth work so that I could hopefully help young people to avoid making a lot of the similar mistakes like had. I then gained employment with with St. Helens council. Then studied counselling and I qualified in 2010. I decided to do advanced training in cognitive behavioural therapy at university so that I could help people to deal with depression and anxiety. The fact is that 1 in 4 people now struggle with depression. I have now made my missio to help them.
