Hi, my name is John, and I'm just a human - like you - doing my best to get by. I'm also neurodivergent, but I just consider everyone as the complex individual they are, as much as I can in a world which tries to pigeonhole us. I hope I can make your life better in whatever way you wish, whether you're undergoing mental​/​emotional​/​psychological struggles and want to feel better, or want to achieve specific goals, whatever they might be. I hope I can bring my experience, and draw from my own (ongoing) journey to help​/​just be there for you. I just finished a diploma of counselling, so hope to also employ some of those skills​/​techniques​/​modalities, as well as just a natural, intuitive, conversational style of therapy. I may not have a lot of experience yet, but I would be honoured if you would give me the chance to work with you, so we can help each other as well. I believe in treating clients as I would a friend - as much as that is possible - so if you prefer that style you might want to try me out.

Why the Spoony community matters to me

Because it provides a space for neurodivergent people - so often marginalised - to meet, connect, discuss and share their issues, and just talk in general in a space where they feel space.

Qualifications
