About Us

I wasn’t always a counsellor. For many years, I navigated the corporate world, finding myself adrift in spreadsheets and financial reports. While stability was admirable, something was missing. I yearned for deeper connection and a more profound purpose. That’s when I decided to change course, trading numbers for empathy and embarking on a path towards becoming a counsellor.

Today, at Through the Woods Counselling, I help people, especially young people, navigate their own personal journeys. The challenges we face in life can feel like dense forests, tangled with obstacles and uncertainties. That’s where I come in.

Driven by a desire to work directly with and support others, I transitioned careers and gained invaluable experience in the disability support sector, the youth sector, and with teen mentoring programs across various organizations.

This multifaceted lens allows me to deeply understand the diverse challenges and strengths individuals face, regardless of age.

With over 10 years of experience working with youth and children in various community settings, I’ve also gained specific insights into the unique struggles and strengths of this age group. However, my passion extends beyond age; I’m here to guide and support individuals of all walks of life seeking a path forward.

Why “Through the Woods”? The metaphor resonates deeply with me. Like many of us, I’ve traversed my own share of wooded paths, facing personal hurdles and emerging stronger. This journey instilled a deep commitment to helping others walk alongside me, offering support and tools to navigate their own personal wilderness.

But forests aren’t just about hardship. Just as a walk in the woods offers space for reflection and renewal, our struggles can be catalysts for growth and positive change. I believe in empowering individuals to tap into their inner strength and resilience, finding hidden paths and clearing their own unique trails.

Together, we can navigate the challenges, uncover hidden resources, and emerge from the woods with greater clarity and purpose.
