Hi, my name is Paddy, and I am the walk leader for Sutton Coldfield.

I was inspired to do this by a good friend of mine who had seen me go through a tough time over the end of a relationship and if good friends had not stopped me, I may have departed this world. It was then that life was worth living and enough was enough.

I have suffered with Mental Health in the past and the worst part was anger destroying everyone in my path including my past relationships. But in 2015 I was extremely fortunate to meet my Councillor/Therapist who I am still with today, but she was able to diagnose Historical Childhood anger which is in plain terms unloved child syndrome. This took 4 years of constant meetings and arduous work but in the end, it was all gone, and I was able to lead a very calm and better life today because of that experience.

I am hoping with these meetings, walking and talking together that others may see my story or if you are going through a tough time let’s listen and talk together and we will all be okay
