Why I Chose My Own Path

This Isn’t Therapy — But It Might Be Something Deeper

I’ve spent years walking through emotional fire — not in theory, but in life.

And through that journey, I’ve come to a quiet truth:
You don’t need a qualification to offer presence, honesty, or deep care.
You need experience. You need integrity. You need a willingness to stay with what others run from.

That’s what I bring.

I’m Not a Therapist

I’m not registered.
I’m not part of a clinical institution.
And I’m not pretending to be.

What I am is someone who has done the inner work, day after day —
someone who has lived through trauma, shame, rupture, grief — and made meaning from it.

I don’t diagnose. I don’t treat.
I listen. I reflect. I support.

Why I Chose This Path

I’ve seen others — like Ben Cole-Edwards or The School of Self Integration —
carve out their own way of holding space for healing, grounded in real presence and lived experience.
Not as rebels. Not as imposters.
But as people who said: “I don’t need to wait anymore.”

That inspired me.
Because deep down, I’ve always known — I’m not here to follow someone else’s map.
I’m here to walk mine.

What I Offer

• Honest, spacious 1:1 conversations
• Emotional insight rooted in personal experience
• Support for those navigating trauma, shame, grief, identity, and individuation
• A grounded, no-jargon approach to inner work

What I offer isn’t therapy.
It’s something slower, maybe even deeper —
It’s being met without being managed.

---

What I Don’t Offer

• Diagnoses or medical advice
• Crisis or emergency care
• “Fixes” or five-step formulas
• Anything that pressures you to perform healing

A Final Word

I’m not against qualifications — I may still pursue them.
But I no longer believe they’re the only valid path.

If you feel something real in these words, maybe that’s enough for now.
I trust that the right people will find this — not because of credentials, but because it resonates.

This is not about rebellion.
It’s about offering the thing I always needed but could never find.

And if that’s something you need too, I’m here.
