It’s not uncommon for people to say, “I’d prefer an older therapist” or “I need a male psychologist for this.” We get it. When you’re facing something deeply personal or vulnerable, it’s natural to want to feel as comfortable and understood as possible.

But here’s the thing—we gently invite you to stay open to the idea that healing and meaningful change doesn’t always come from someone who looks like they’ve walked your exact path. It often comes from someone who knows how to walk with you, skilfully and compassionately, through the challenges you’re facing now.
