There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk
– by Portia Nelson

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost… I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in… it’s a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault… I get out immediately.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

I walk down another street.

Meg counselled my grandson & recently has been counselling me. Meg is a highly educated, compassionate, kind & genuine person. She is devoted to her profession and her knowledge & wisdom & love for the Lord shines through.

I would highly recommend her at all times . Im grateful for all she has helped us with.

I am grateful to Meg for providing a non-judgemental listening ear for me and this has helped me to be more honest about the things I may be struggling with.

I started seeing Meg about 8 yrs back.

I’ve walked quite a road in my life and gone through some personal battles and Meg has been an incredible rock in my life. She has been my sounding board, my go to and my guide.

She has believed in me and encouraged me when I couldn’t face the world.

We all face different journeys in our lives and we all face different mountains and Meg has an ability to help people conquer every step no matter how difficult.

I’ve often said if it weren’t for Jesus and Meg I wouldn’t be standing today .

Meg has been a really great help with my daughter, she has encouraged healthy communication as well as taught my daughter how to open up on an emotional level.

My daughter has grown a deep bond with Meg and trusts her implicitly.

Meg is a very dedicated therapist

Meg has been working extensively with me, helping me and guiding me through trauma that my family and I have experienced in the last year. Meg is a caring and emphatic person who has vast knowledge and experience in her field.

She has helped me open up about certain aspects of my life that I would not discuss and she has made me realize that through therapy with her, healing is possible. Amazing therapist, amazing person!

Since being with Meg for counselling I have found that I am more resilient and have more confidence about my ability to handle challenging situations.

I have been seeing Meg for a while and have really appreciated her groundedness and empathy. Amongst other things, I have benefitted from what she has shared with me about practising self-compassion.

This has helped me to have a more positive inner dialogue with myself and to cope better with difficult emotions that may come up during the day.

I was having difficulty with the relationship between my son and myself. I tried to commit suicide in 2009 my son was only 12 at the time and he was struggling to process his feelings of anger and resentment towards me! We saw Meg once a week for about 6 weeks and she helped guide us to actually talk about our issues and certainly helped my son (and so myself) a whole heap. We are now in a much better place in our relationship and my son and I have been able to move on with our lives and our relationship. Thanks so much Meg.
