Imelda has always been a good listener and finds her clients appreciate having someone they can take time to talk to. She says that connecting with people through conversation is very powerful, which is what keeps her in the profession. Imelda has also gone through therapy herself, and though she was reluctant to try it at first, she ultimately found it very transformative. Imelda has also been trained as a teacher and appreciates the importance of companionship and partnership between people.
