ABOUT ME
My story
Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked for several years as a support worker in the homelessness sector. I had always felt drawn to a role that helped others. This role allowed me to make a positive impact in the community and was aligned with my values.
Yet, I felt that I wanted to facilitate deeper change within people and their lives, which is what led me to counselling as a path and profession. To me, being a counsellor means serving others from the integrity of my being to help them create the life that they desire.
I am currently an Associate Counsellor at Options Wellbeing, and I am also an independent counsellor running my private practice, Therapy of Being.
