About Me

Integrative Counsellor in County Durham and Online

I discovered my passion for counselling later in life, driven by a desire to find a more rewarding career that aligned with my values and experiences. As a family man, I was inspired by the challenges and triumphs I faced in my personal life, which ignited a deep desire to support others on their own journeys.

My counselling journey began with an introduction to counselling skills, which opened my eyes to the power of self-awareness and personal growth. As I delved deeper into the field, I connected with the fundamental principles of counselling, recognising the transformative potential of a supportive, non-judgmental space.

I have navigated various roles and challenges throughout my life, from running my own business to being a full-time carer. These experiences have shaped my perspective and empathy, allowing me to connect with a wide range of individuals and their unique struggles. I have witnessed firsthand the importance of access to quality support and the huge impact it can have on one's life.

As I embarked on my own journey of self-discovery and healing, particularly during significant life transitions, I gained a deeper understanding of the human experience. These personal experiences have fueled my passion for helping others navigate their own challenges and find the support they need to thrive.
