We can learn something new anytime we believe we can  ... Virginia Satir

I tried various therapeutic approaches to help rid myself of deep seated anxieties and depression.  All of this was contributing to difficulties in many areas of my life, including relationships, career and general wellbeing. 

I wanted to study to improve my career prospects but found that I didn’t cope well in the learning environment which seemed to echo my experience in school where I never could seem to make the grade. I felt incompetent and incapable and began to believe that I was just basically stupid and worried that I would never make any progress.  I was averse to taking drugs to handle my depression, so I decided to go in search of an alternative.  This is when I came across SHEN Therapy.

My SHEN sessions showed me that every one of my difficulties, including those with learning, had their roots in painful childhood experiences.
With the fear that I was stupid gone, I took a difficult course and achieved an overall mark of 97%, which proved to me that I had overcome my blocks to learning.

Once I had overcome my fears associated with learning, I decided I wanted to work as a SHEN therapist to help others overcome their difficulties.

After each SHEN training course I began to peel away further layers of low self-esteem, self-loathing, hopelessness and fear, and in doing so created the space within me for growth, confidence, empowerment and ultimately freedom from anxiety and depression.  SHEN changed my life forever, and because of those changes, I am able to achieve much more than I ever thought possible.  My work, relationships and life is much healthier.
