I hate writing bios! You might be thinking what a weird way to start one but that’s who I am.
I am direct, honest and I like to speak to what I am experiencing at the moment. This is also how I am as a counsellor and I think this is why I’m a good counsellor. Throughout most of my life, I felt uncomfortable like I didn’t fit in. That I wasn’t wanted. That I didn’t belong. It was a very lonely and painful place to be. The journey through that pain to the other side, a place where I feel free to be me is what helps me help other people.
As a counsellor, I work at creating a space where you feel that you belong. A space that is safe and welcoming and inclusive. A place where you are free to find out who you and to explore who that is and share it. If this is something that you feel would help you on your journey out of your dark places I hope you will reach out and let me know how I can help.
I’m also the owner of Helps Counselling? I picked this name because A) I like to help people and B) it’s my last name.
