Hi I am Demelza

I'm the Founder of Rebecca Blamo's Mental Health Awareness and Well-being C.I.C

I am a Psychology Bachelor and Health and Clinical Psychology Master graduate, training to be a Humanistic Integrative therapist.
 
I have always been intrigued by how the human mind works and how we approach specific situations but with varied outcomes. Human behaviour and how we perceive life have greatly interested me, having grown up in Liberia, West Africa, during the civil war. Even though I found it horrific, I still find it interesting how the multifaceted nature of human beings, the evil, the good and personal circumstances shape an individual.

I have witnessed and experienced first-hand the ravages of war and how people had to use the least appealing options to survive. I am the survivor who had to seek counselling, realising that living a fulfilled life was possible despite harrowing personal life experiences.
 
I believe everyone should have adequate tools to thrive despite their mental health issues and life experiences. Therefore, this blog is to reach out to anyone needing clarity and understanding about mental health disorders and practical tips in everyday living.

This blog is named in honour of my mother, Rebecca Blamo, who sadly passed away during the civil war in Liberia, West Africa.
