As the founder of Independence Counselling, I am a believer in the power of connection. In the power of supporting each other and in the power of allowing others to support us. Life can be hard. And telling someone that we are struggling can sometimes be harder. Staying hidden and silent won’t bring us the healing we long for. But reaching out, risking just might. I hope you take the risk and reach out. I’ll be right here.
