Hi I'm Lou,

**Please note, I am currently undertaking voluntary work in mental health care for Afghanistan Refugee's, so I may be slow in replying  ~ I appreciate your patience**

Pleased to meet you. A little bit about myself, I'm a 2nd year Psychology student in my 30's I've completed level 4 in counselling and CBT training. Having struggled in my childhood, teenage years and part of my adulthood with Anxiety. I've also suffered with and over come traumas and bereavement, I just really wanted to learn more about how I can help others that may have suffered similarly to myself. I've learned a lot over the years in my own life, as well as educationally about mental health well being. I have studied Buddhism and am an avid mediation/ mindfulness advocated. So if this is something you're interested in, we can certainly have a chat about it. My areas of direct experience relate to either myself, or immediate family. I have had a lot of experience in different aspects of mental health. Please know that whatever you wish to talk about, will be in a safe non judgemental environment. I am a compassionate and empathetic listener, I am here for you, you are not alone.
