About Us

Welcome to Compass & Arrow Counselling, a compassionate space for healing and self-discovery!\n\nI understand the intensity and challenge of healing from adverse experiences and trauma. As a queer person, a disaffiliate of conservative evangelicalism, a career shifter, and a childhood trauma survivor, I am all too familiar with the fears, grief and loss, confusion, and pain that come with those experiences.\n\nThrough counselling, my fears transformed into courage. The grief and loss evolved into hopefulness, the confusion transformed into clarity, and the pain metamorphosed into strength. I believe everyone can experience the same. View 4 Photos, Pain, trauma, grief, and other issues are explored through compassionate inquiry and acceptance so that they can be witnessed and understood more deeply. I engage with you as a compassionate witness and a warm empathetic presence, creating an authentic and collaborative connection that feels safe and open for you to work on the issues you want support with. , I practice with the belief that as compassion for your experiences and the Self grows, resistance to healing and change softens. You are then more likely to navigate through life with a sense of worthiness, making values-based decisions with greater confidence, propelling yourself forward into more authentic ways of being with yourself and others.
