A conversation with Johanna Waugh
-
My therapist told me I would make a good therapist, since I have the ability to understand people and empathise with them. I am also easy to talk to and approach.
-
There are different talks about questioning other people's perceptions. This method can be considered the most practical. What exactly is the purpose of life? What is the point of our presence here?
A person can subjectively evaluate whether his or her life is important or meaningful, according to author Richard Taylor. In this scenario, perceived happiness and satisfaction may be the most important factors to consider. -
I'm interested in working with clients who have experienced mental health issues such as depression, postnatal depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety, panic attacks. The human journey of life changes and choices such as divorce, finding one's self, living in another country.

Solution-focused, Person-centred therapy

Once they have had a few sessions, and they have completed any tasks the therapist has set for them.
-
Yes, I believe it has happened. When I went to see my therapist, I realised that my head was full from all of the issues I was dealing with. Talking to someone let me see things a lot more clearly. It took a lot of effort, but I was willing to put in the time to improve myself. By talking through my problems and working on myself, I gained the confidence to let go of the past and move forward.
-
I like helping people, giving them the tools that are needed to change their life.
-
I think every one has a bad hair day, every once in a while. I wouldn't be normal if I didn't go through one of those days.
-
The most significant problem that we face is people having their head in some kind of technology and being totally consumed with their mobile, lap top, tablet. Being totally addicted to the internet.
