The work that I love to do.

​People look for a counsellor because they are at a crossroads in their life. Am I in the right job? Should I change career paths? Am I satisfied in life?

I have a lot of conversations with women in their 20s and 30s wanting to talk about their way of being in the world: intimate relationships / partnerships, family dynamics, career choices, identity claims, their sense of belonging and purpose. 

The spiritual component to life doesn't get talked about much in many public circles. What does it all mean? What's it all about? These kinds of existential conversations are some of my favourites to have because I believe that connection is the answer to all problems and that isloation is the petri dish where struggles grow. 

I try to strike a balance (knowing how problems operate) between taking an expert position about certain problems and not knowing how people should live their lives.
