__
Barbara Jean is the owner of Break Free Counselling Ltd. and also one of their several counsellors available to serve our community.
Break Free Counselling Ltd. was born in her mind long before she was actually a counsellor. From determination, great love and passion her dream is now her reality. Break Free Counselling Ltd. was a success from the beginning because she is the real deal. Break Free Counselling has been a healing force for her. Graduating at the top of her class, three times, her love of learning is only second to her kind nature. Barbara Jean has the things that are necessary to be a good counsellor, she was born that way. That tender empathy that you really can't learn in school.
Barbara Jean was a "busy" teenager, to say the least. Her mom often mentions that her father was lucky he didn't burn the church down lighting candles for her. Heartbreak hit her hard and she's had days where life was so hard, she lost her spark, and needed some help. Barbara Jean walked the walk and for a long time, would say she felt like a shadow of herself. She knows the importance of mental health care because she experienced, first hand, the lonely pain and fear that can live in ones mind.
She's afraid of lady bugs and butterflies, and will run over her own children to escape a June Bug attack. She is clumsy, sports were never her thing. At times you'd find her running in the wrong direction toward a basketball net, with a blinding passion that allowed her to get all the way to the net, several times. Break Free Counselling Ltd. and Barbara Jean are now accepting new clients, you can book online or call 782.400.4430. Thank you for considering Break Free Counselling Ltd., where your needs come first.
