About Me
Hi! I'm Courtney and welcome to my cosy little corner on the internet. I'm a mother, Trainee Counsellor, Mental Health Advocate and the creator of The High Spirit Project. With this blog and The High Spirit project I intend to talk all things mental health and encourage others to pop thoughts onto paper (or in this case, thoughts onto the internet)!
After battling with depression and anxiety in my teens and then post-natal depression last year, I came to the conclusion that more needs to be done to raise mental health awareness. My personal aim for this blog is to include a true sense of myself, meaning and honesty regarding mental health issues and also my own career progression within psychology and counselling. Writing has always been a great self-help tool for me as I used to write songs whilst studying music at college and also poems to express myself when I was younger; although they definitely won't be making an appearance on here!!
I want to show that mental health doesn't have to define us. There is hope and with the right support we can move forward and create the life we want.
*I must state that I am not a fully trained Counsellor yet or an expert.*
Everything I say is either from my own experiences or things I have learned along the way therefore, it may not apply to everyone. However, please feel free to get in touch, either on social media or via email - I would love to discuss any of my posts with you or if you need help with sourcing the correct support services I will be more than happy to assist with this
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy my ramblings.
Courtney
