Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I am a very peoples person.  As a child and as teenager I always found myself helping people by listening to them. My two Masters Courses in Human Development  and Mental Health Counselling helped me enhance my innate   nature of listening to people and help them process their emotions and bring about behaviour modification.
