My Background



 

Libby Webber NCPS Accred

1618579345561.jpg

I’ve always been curious about what makes people ‘tick’, how we choose our path in life or feel that choices have been taken away from us, how we cope with the inevitable challenges and curveballs that life throws at us.

Having become a wheelchair user after a traumatic event in my late teens, I’ve spent the last 30 years making sense of my experiences, finding meaning and a sense of purpose. I’m passionate about helping others find whatever brings them meaning, contentment and purpose in life.

I became disabled over 30 years ago when I was badly injured in a road accident which stopped me in my tracks for a while, but also led – in part – to me becoming a counsellor. I have the desire to help people make constructive and positive changes in their lives through change-focused counselling.
