Sharon Lagden is a 50 something female, who as a result of major illness has taken a new path to fulfillment and re-trained as a Professional Counsellor. As a Counsellor I want to help those who have lost their way and help them to regain their sense of self and live the life that they deserve. If this sounds like you, then call me, we can start the journey together. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Talking to a Professional Counsellor can have many positive benefits and can change your life. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

But since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009, I decided to de-stress my life and find a new direction. I have always been a caring empathetic person and so decided to re-train as a counsellor. I was born in the UK, lived in France, Sydney and then the Sunshine Coast. I have been happily married for the last 20 years, to my husband Kevin. We have had our ups and downs, but we have always worked through them together. My life has given me so many experiences, which I believe has shaped me into the person I am today.
