Before my diagnosis, I often felt like an outsider, struggling with social cues and norms that seemed to elude me.

The Big C & My Journey
So, no, I am not a bloke and no, I am not a psychologist, but do know that I have experienced lots of ups and downs. I consider myself a work-in-progress, and I am getting there. My journey thus far has taught me the value of focusing on the here and now and to continue taking fairy steps towards self-improvement. I will never take my physical or mental health for granted and I encourage everyone to reach out to your GP if something does not feel right. I am so grateful for my family and friends, and I truly value all the connections I get to make through my personal and professional life. Finally, I feel incredibly lucky that my life experience has brought me to Blokes Psychology and please know that if you feel like a chat and I ask how you are that I really do want to know the honest answer.
