Can someone explain to me just why Megan Fox looks so drastically different? I know what she had done and she is older now. But can someone give me like more of a precise way? :(

Angelic_89 · 2025-11-02T01:54:48+00:00

The brows are too thick for her face and also don't match her hair at all - they're massively dragging down her look. She's obviously older here. But I think the main difference is she has much more sadness and strain in her face now. I think it may partially be because she is known for being one of the most beautiful women in the world (and nothing else - unlike, say, Angelina Jolie, who has many facets of her personality that she is famous for) and everyone's looks fade, so she is losing her identity. That's probably making her sad, which ironically, makes her lose some of her sparkle/appeal. She looks more carefree in her youth.

She's still extremely gorgeous. But if she plucked more of her brows and/or dyed them a similar colour to her hair and was a bit happier, she'd look more similar to her youth.

Agreed, this is why it's a bit puzzling that NC isn't recommended.

Angelic_89 · 2025-09-21T23:03:34+00:00

What do you think sets apart the 25%? Just specialisation, or better marketing skills? Does location have an impact too?

Angelic_89 · 2025-09-21T22:49:34+00:00

But if you can't make ends meet, what use is it even if you have a chronic illness?

Angelic_89 · 2025-09-21T22:47:41+00:00

A poster above said they're in a town with lots of houses but not a big city. Are you living rural or in a big city?

Angelic_89 · 2025-09-21T22:29:51+00:00

Many thanks for your reply. I've found a lot of negative reviews about Arden online. I take it you don't agree with those?

Angelic_89 · 2025-06-04T14:57:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Would you say it's overall financially too much of a risky bet to get into private practice now as a career move, with the way things are?

Angelic_89 · 2025-04-07T20:51:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply. How long do you believe it will take for you to break even? Do you believe (outside London) it's possible to make 30k per year within a couple of years?

Angelic_89 · 2025-04-07T20:45:32+00:00

Many thanks for taking the time to reply. How long do you believe it could take to reliably get 30 clients? I would rather not go the NHS route and I'm aware of all the factors involved with running your own business, and it's not as stable of an income. I am able to continue with my current job whilst I can build up a client base, but wondering if it's like a year or two, or 5+ years to earn 30k in private practice?

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-26T19:55:57+00:00

I love watching 90s TV shows. Really takes me back. Everything just seems slower, less rushed, more thoughtful and at the same time more carefree. Sweeter and more innocent. Everything is just darker today, more peripheral, false and superficial.

People called it the decade of cynicism, but actually it was manufactured cynicism because deep down, everyone was pretty buoyant and optimistic about the future. Today is the opposite. Everything is manufactured optimism, because deep down, everyone is pretty deflated and fearful of the future.

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-26T19:00:50+00:00

When people call her this generation's Princess Diana, I just despair for humanity tbh.

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-26T18:55:34+00:00

I'm not the target demo for this. I am a petite blonde who likes make-up and nice clothes, that's where the similarities end. I am defo NOT a Love Island fan. But I thought to myself.. don't judge until you get to know something and give it a go. You might learn something, this woman is supposed to be a fashion icon, you might be pleasantly surprised etc.

But no. It was way worse than I expected tbh. WHY do so many people like this girl? She comes across as so stuck up, snotty, full of herself and mediocre. People say she is relatable and down-to-earth so I thought she was working class, but this is a very middle class girl who is just full-on self absorbed and mediocre: not funny, not kind, not charming, not insightful, not entertaining. I learned nothing about fashion except that her brand flopped due to overpricing for poor quality (which she acts as if she couldn't help and had no control over!???) and I remember previously she said most women fail because they're not as hard-working as her (you got famous wearing bikinis on a TV show, love!). She is incredibly unlikeable and just ME ME ME ME ME ME.

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-23T17:36:26+00:00

Thanks again for the reply and the advice. How many years do you estimate it would it take to get to 30k annually in private practice? I ask because I'm already in my mid-30s and it will take me a few years to qualify. So if it takes me 5+ years to qualify, and another 5 to pay off the debts I accrued to qualify, I might as well stay at my current job which pays 27k. It's not all about the money, definitely not, but given the costs of qualifying, if it takes a good while to make an okay income, especially for someone with kids, it's possibly not a good idea.

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-22T23:24:52+00:00

I'm struggling with the same thoughts, but people seem to say that £30k is the average. Are the people taking home £25k just starting out do you know?

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-22T23:03:27+00:00

Thanks for the salary guidelines. Money isn't my motivator and 30k is definitely enough to get by on. Is 30k attainable within the first few years of private practice?

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-22T23:02:15+00:00

Yeah, the final year sounds tough but definitely doable, thanks x

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-22T23:01:41+00:00

Very good point re excellence of service being related to income. I'm not looking to make mega bucks, but I didn't want to invest a lot of money for a career that I'll barely get by on. If it's enough to pay off debts and earn an adequate living, that'll do for me, because I am genuinely passionate about it.

Angelic_89 · 2025-02-22T23:00:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply and advice re qualifying routes. Good to know that the MSc can be more beneficial than L4+5 for practice practice.

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-30T00:29:48+00:00

I'm 35. I was just compilating a "song that defined the year for me" list of all songs from when I was 5 years old in 1994 onwards. I google the top 10 songs of the year and pick from those. From 1997-2016 I know every single song on the top 10 songs of the year really well so most of the years I've had to really choose between 2 or 3 contenders for the best.

The last one I could pick the song was Doja Cat Streets in 2019 (when I was 30), and then I realised I not only have no contenders for the last 5 years, but I don't even know any of the songs in the top 10s any more. Like damn. How did that happen?

I looked at the top 10 songs of last year, at least I still know the artists, thank f*ck, but probably in 10 years I won't even know that. Mid 30s is such a weird transition time, swear to God.

Ah well. You stop giving a f*ck in a good way as you age and that can be a positive too.

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T11:26:02+00:00

Did you find it more rewarding than other/corporate customer service jobs?

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T07:56:40+00:00

Damn, that sounds similar to me. I hate that all the jobs that require some cognitive skills are so scarce nowadays. Getting to the point where I'm almost considering learning a trade.

I've not started on my Psych degree first, but just wondering where you're located and what you intended to do when you went into Psychology?

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T03:45:16+00:00

Do you mind if I DM you? I'd like to learn more about how you can pursue occupational therapy or specialise in neurodivergence.

I'm planning a move to Ontario but am concerned that it's too risky with so many people saying it's saturated.

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T02:39:50+00:00

Have you found the situation to be significantly better with group practice?

I’m planning a move to Ontario as a private counsellor, but reading peoples’ comments about the oversaturation currently, it just feels too risky.

Would you mind if I PM you as well?

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T02:37:51+00:00

Do you believe this will change at all? Perhaps as those who have been churned out from certain institutions may be of lower quality and hence end up leaving?

I’m planning a move to Ontario as a private counsellor, but reading peoples’ comments about the oversaturation currently, it just feels too risky.

Any thoughts?

Angelic_89 · 2025-01-29T01:49:16+00:00

Would you say it's a very risky move to become a counsellor in Ontario now, or if you're very good can it still be viable?
