“The making of a good therapist is so much more than training - a good therapist needs the fundamentals of empathy, sensitivity and genuine concern for others. Most of the individuals who train to become therapists are already halfway there. They are already inspirational people who readily help others when the opportunity arises. My role is to hone their skills, improve their knowledge base and arm them with the right tools to facilitate real change in their own lives and the lives of others.”
