Darren Wilson - Accredited Counsellor & Vegan Transition Coach
My own personal journey
I qualified as a counsellor about 10 years ago, making the transition to a fully vegan lifestyle around the same time. Over the last decade, I have navigated the practicalities, social friction, and anxieties of living in a predominantly non-vegan world. Crucially, I have been able to apply psychological theories, practical tools, and behavioural techniques to easily overcome those inevitable challenges.
You name it - I've dealt with it. From resistance and judgement from family, friends and colleagues to working out how best to approach social settings involving food, to developing healthy, balanced meal plans to ensure I'm getting everything I need to thrive on a wholly plant-based diet.
Today in my mid-50s, I'm happier, healthier and more content and at peace with life than I've ever been. To say I'm enthusiastic about the amazing benefits of adopting a vegan lifestyle would be an understatement. It's what I call the 'three wins' approach to life: personal, environmental and ethical.
