My journey began with a loss that was so great it nearly took me with it. I just knew I had to help people, to save them from going through the pain I went through. That’s where my counselling journey started; level 2 & 3 fitted around my current lifestyle and were the first stage’s in transforming my life more than I would ever know. It was during moving to the level 4/5 course when I discovered that something was different with me. Sounds and sensory issues started to appear and my social anxiety got worse. It was a close family member who pointed out that maybe I could be autistic. I had heard the word before and always thought I was different but could this be the answer?
