About John

John has spent the past 24 years learning how to best help and offer hope to those in need. He will be fully present and really listen. He will empathise with the stories and feelings you choose to share, using his years of experience and training to support you on your journey of self discovery.

Those closest to John would describe him as a kind and caring person who is a very good listener. He believes this is due to his own share of life’s challenges and emotional pain. He has experienced feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, lost, and alone. Through it all, his saving grace has been the support of some amazing counsellors and supervisors. These experiences inspired John to be the helper he is today.

It is the culmination of his life experiences, personal growth, education, and ongoing professional development that gives him the confidence to be of service to you.

“The great philosopher Lao Tzu said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I’d be honoured to take that step with you.”
