My own personal journey into the world of personal growth started when I was in my early 30’s. I had just split from my first husband, was a single mum to my then young son and I had a yearning to understand myself better. I felt lost and full of uncertainty and was seeking answers. And from that starting point to where I am now I see more clearly how my commitment to my own personal growth has been a life changing commitment that I can only now truly appreciate. So the following is my message to anyone who is feeling stuck, seeking personal answers or simply feeling a bit lost. Personal growth is one of the most powerful commitments you can make to yourself. It isn’t about becoming someone else or fixing what is “wrong.” It’s about deepening your awareness, understanding your patterns, and gently expanding into a more authentic and empowered version of who you already are. Therapy and life coaching create dedicated spaces for this kind of growth. They offer time, structure, and support to explore your inner world in a way that everyday life rarely allows. Within these spaces, people often experience meaningful realisations — the kind that shift how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future. What once felt confusing can start to make sense. What once felt stuck can begin to move. A key part of this process is recognising a simple truth: as human beings, we don’t know what we don’t know. Much of our behaviour, emotional responses, and beliefs operate beneath our conscious awareness. We develop coping strategies, thought patterns, and habits over time, often without realising how they shape our lives. It’s only when we gain new awareness that we begin to fill in those gaps. With awareness comes understanding. With understanding comes choice. And with choice comes the possibility for change. Therapy and life coaching help bring these blind spots into the light. They provide a supportive environment to notice recurring patterns, question limiting beliefs, and explore new ways of thinking and responding. This doesn’t happen through pressure or judgment. It happens through curiosity, reflection, and honest conversation. Over time, what felt automatic becomes visible. What felt fixed becomes flexible.
