Helping you find your best place in the world, one step at a time
Hi, I’m Lois Daniels-Ekarte HG.Dip.P, MHGI, LLB (Joint Hons)
I am a qualified and registered Psychotherapist and Care Business Owner living in Warwick.
It makes me smile that when asked about ourselves we frequently talk of our education, although part of our story, it can be so far removed from who we become. I qualified in Law from University and with that academic ticket under my belt I started to focus on what I actually wanted to do.
Mr Freeman, my careers teacher, gave me my only detention at school for saying I wanted to be a Mum as a profession. What he perceived as a lack of sincerity, was what I was most passionate about. That drive to tend to and nurture others remains a constant in my life. Ahead of becoming a mother, I enjoyed corporate life in London and prospered in a fast-moving job. Although not feeding my soul, it taught me about money and other vital life lessons, and that felt good in my 20’s.
Fast forward to today. I have three children, a cherished partner and two much loved dogs. That space in the middle has seen my journey so far. There have been the swings and roundabouts that life brings. Like many of us, I have drifted away from that which is important to me and temporarily lost touch with my values. This is surely the stuff of life? We get things wrong and that is OK, as without doing so there can be no learning, no reappraisal and no movement forward.
Since 2014 I have taken this belief and the great value I place on family, care, honesty and authenticity and used them as the foundations on which to build my business. I now happily forego the fast paced ‘high-life ’of the early years, for work which meets my emotional needs and is consistent with my values.
To give a gift of support, positivity and hope, is for me the best gift to give and it is what I strive to do daily. I don’t want or need the fairy tale story, but I do want the happily ever after for all of us.
Thought for the Season…
Worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away today’s peace.
