Healing isn't weakness, it's strength.

I know what it’s like to carry stuff you don’t talk about. The weight of grief, trauma, addiction, shame. It builds over time, and sometimes you don’t even realise how much it’s costing you until something cracks.


Maybe you’re stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’re numb, angry, or just plain lost. You’re not weak. You’re not broken beyond repair. You’re human, and that pain deserves to be heard.


I’m John. I’m a qualified counsellor with a BA (Hons) in Theology and Counselling and specialist training in suicide awareness and self-harm prevention (TQUK Level 2). But more than that, I’m someone who gets it. I grew up in the heavy metal scene, and like a lot of people in that world, I spent years trying to figure out where I belonged.


My work is about creating a space where you don’t have to pretend. Where you don’t have to explain why you feel what you feel. Where you can start to unpack the things you’ve carried, safely, honestly, and without judgment.


If you’re ready to start doing the work, I’m here to walk it with you.
