Counselling conversations
The greatest gift of healing we can offer one another is a compassionate listening ear. Human beings need real connection, real conversation, and real feelings in order to thrive.
I offer a quiet space of reflective calm and safety where we can explore the truth of who you are, who you are meant to be and how to get you there.
What you will find in me is a deep curiosity to know your story and to help you be the person you want to be in the world.
I have no agenda other than the one you set.
About You
Does This Sound Like You?
You find yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve your best interest but you don't know how to shift out of them.
You're tired of the self-doubt; you want to rely on and trust your own wisdom.
You want to live a life that includes joy, courage, humour, and love.
You've tried conventional counselling but it felt like something was missing or that they didn't quite "get" you.
You are welcome here regardless of how you identify as a human being. All that's required is a willingness to learn and grow.
