ABOUT ME
ABOUT THE NAME
Hi, I'm Meg
Life’s journey is often uneven & unpredictable, with unexpected twists & turns. But it is these crooked paths that shape us, offering opportunities for growth, resilience, and profound personal insight.
My path to become a counsellor was an unexpected twist, originating from my own journey with chronic health issues, disability & common mental health challenges
that many of us face at some point in our lives.
The therapist that I got help from was the one to suggest I consider counselling as a career, opening my eyes to a new path that I had never considered before.
This guidance not only helped me find my calling but also showed me the transformative power of having
someone who truly listens to understand.
I now incorporate some of the insights that lived experience has given me into counselling the issues I specialise in, which you can read more about here.
'There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence
Against a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together
In a little crooked house'
I learned that Mother Goose rhyme when I was a child
and it has always stayed in my memory.
Navigating my own journey meant I've often felt like that crooked man, and have had to walk some unexpected crooked miles in my life.
So it felt right for the business name to be
Crooked Mile Counselling, as a reminder that
even the most winding paths can lead to a place of strength and wisdom.
Wherever your journey takes you, I'm here to support you,
whenever your path
gets a little crooked too.
