Twenty-five years of Experience
Hello and welcome to my bio.
My name is Baljit Kamal and I am the founder of Well Space Therapy practice. I have twenty-five years’ of experience working in the private, public and voluntary Sector.
In 2013 out of interest I enrolled on a course, ‘‘Awareness in Bereavement Care’’. The course was organised by a charity called, Cruse Bereavement Care. The effects of loss is something we all experience at some point in our lives. Unknown to me at the time that this interest would be life changing and would turn into a passion!
Motivation
Not only did this course inspire me, but it also gave me the motivation to retrain as a professional therapist.
It was liberating to walk into an environment where everyone could take off their “mask” and express their true authentic self and discuss a topic which is inevitable, without fear of judgement or taboo.
For a number of years, I worked within the charity setting to support clients on a voluntary basis. My interest in the mental health industry grew and in 2019, I transitioned to this field by setting up my own private practice.
Passionate
My philosophy is that if you can have emotional and psychological well being, you can achieve your potential in many areas of your life. There are some of us who just require a little more help than others.
It is a huge privilege and responsibility to be in a position to offer such a service. My aim is to provide support and add positive value to each client I work with.
Life Experience
We can educate ourselves by reading books and at the touch of a button, “google” provides endless information. Yet all this knowledge is subject to a third narrative. There is no comparison for real life experience. In this line of profession, it really helps when you have this.
Today
I offer you an approachable, confidential and non-judgemental safe space, in which you can be free to talk openly and honestly about what you are experiencing and receive professional insight and support to come to terms with the past, become more accepting of the present and have hope for the future.
Today with a wealth of work and life experience, I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.
