Before transitioning into a career as a counsellor, I spent 30 years as a portrait photographer, capturing moments, emotions, and stories through the lens of my camera. Photography allowed me to explore the world visually, connecting with people and places in unique ways. It taught me to observe the subtle details, to notice what often goes unseen, and to appreciate the power of perspective. This experience shaped my ability to see beneath the surface, a skill I now carry into my work as a counsellor, where I help people explore their own stories with depth and empathy.
