🌿 Thinking about starting counselling training?
Maybe you’ve been thinking about becoming a helper, starting a course, or even training to become a counsellor… but something keeps holding you back 💭
The uncertainty.
The nerves.
The “what if I’m not ready?” thoughts.
I recently came across a poem by Sophie Diener called The First Step, and part of it really stood out to me:
✨ “You have to begin.
Do it badly at first with sweaty palms and shaking limbs and gaps in what you know…” ✨
Because the truth is — nobody begins fully confident.
Nobody starts knowing everything.
And nobody arrives already fully formed 🌱
Counselling training is a journey of learning, growth, self-awareness and courage.
You are allowed to feel nervous.
You are allowed to feel unsure.
You are allowed to begin before you feel fully ready 💜
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply take the first step.
Because you might love it.
Because it might change your life.
Because the world may need exactly what you have to offer 🤍
And one day, you may look back and realise how important that first step really was ✨
