I’ve recently started my counselling training and this is a subject that came up in the session. I won’t go into detail about my classes, but the topic, that we can definitely go into.

We’ve all had a hard time at some point, for one reason or another, and in those moments we may have reached out to someone. Perhaps someone has reached out to you in their time of need, this is not always an easy thing to help with. Do they need or want sympathy, empathy, or

Reorganising: modelling, photography and all the bits in between.

I literally just sat and recategorised and reorganised my whole blog because I had re-written the front page and added categories I didn’t realise I didn’t have.

Photography Project: Stand Out
