Mrs Shirley Anstis - Counsellor

Like many of you my life has consisted of exploring various paths in order to find my soul’s calling. I began my working life training in accountancy. After a while I realised that this path was not making me happy or supporting me in achieving my potential. Although it was difficult to do, and involved giving up a potentially lucrative career, I decided I needed to start over and change direction. I decided to go to university and study for a B.Sc. in Behavioural Sciences (a combination of Psychology and Sociology). This opened me up to a fascinating and insightful world.

I followed this by combining the business and psychology aspects of my experience to undertake a Masters in Careers Guidance enabling me to use my knowledge, skills and experience to support individuals in their career choices. Eventually I felt that I wanted to offer broader support than that possible through careers counselling and this got me interested in counselling and seeing life in a holistic way. I have since completed a diploma in counselling (Integrative Psychosynthesis) and have worked with many clients.
