I offer peer support to those navigating complex mental health challenges, who would like to connect with someone with a similar lived experience. I have living experience with autism, ADHD, BPD, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and LGBTQIA+ issues, and over 10 years of lived experience in the mental health system. I aim to create a safe and affirming space that feels comfortable for you, valuing connection and understanding first and foremost. Peer support with me is about both of us creating a space that is unique to you, a space where you feel validated, empowered and safe to be yourself.

I connect from a place of lived experience. I always aim to foster a collaborative environment where the approach is informed by what you want and what feels most comfortable to you. Peer support with me can range from relatable and validating conversation to practical skills.

I understand that seeking mental health support can often be challenging and vulnerable. I provide a non-judgemental space where you are safe to be yourself - a space where you always remain the expert in your own experience, the same way i do in mine.

I work from a place of lived experience. While no two people can have the same exact experience, there is a different level of understanding and personal insight that can be helpful and validating. During sessions we focus on what you'd like to explore, there is never any expectation that you need to 'match' an experience.
