Margo's Resources & Recommendations
Books
Here you will find a collection of books that have supported and influenced me throughout my counselling journey and personal development.
Margo’s Journal & Reflections
This space is where I document my journey into counselling, personal development, and emotional growth.
Through reflections, journal entries, and shared learning, I write honestly about the experience of training, self-awareness, therapy, relationships, and the challenges of balancing personal growth alongside everyday life.
*This is not a counselling service, but a reflective space for learning, insight, and honest conversation about the ongoing process of understanding ourselves and others.
Margo’s Podcasts
Here you’ll find podcasts as an extension of my counselling journey — a space for open, reflective conversations around emotional wellbeing, personal growth, relationships, self-awareness, and the realities of training towards a future in counselling.
*The podcasts are not a counselling service or a source of clinical advice, but a thoughtful space for honest discussion, learning, and shared human experience.

Counsellors are hired by a wide range of organizations across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, as well as by individuals in private practice. Key employers include the NHS Jobs, schools, charities and corporate businesses.
What can counselling help with?
Counselling provides a confidential, safe place to talk about difficult feelings and life events. It helps you develop personalized coping strategies, navigate major life transitions, manage mental health conditions, and improve your overall self-awareness and personal wellbeing.
What is the difference between a counsellor and a psychologist?
The core difference lies in their training and scope:
